Internet influencer Logan Paul has once again found himself in the spotlight after seemingly promoting Lunchly during the birth of his child. For those unaware, Logan Paul and his fiancée Nina Agdal made headlines on September 29, 2024, when they announced the birth of their baby girl, Esmé Agdal Paul, on social media.
In a viral Instagram post, the professional wrestler announced:
"Esmé Agdal Paul has entered the chat."
He also shared a series of posts on Snapchat on the same day, in which he decorated the hospital ward for childbirth. While claiming to have transformed the hospital room "into a vibe," he appeared to promote his controversial food and beverage venture, Lunchly:
"I turned the hospital room into a vibe. Polaroids on string lights. And ofc (of course), Lunchly."
These Snapchat pictures were eventually shared on the r/YouTubeDrama subreddit, eliciting responses from over 258 netizens. Some netizens were not pleased with Paul promoting his venture during the birth of his child, as Redditor u/ImportantQuestionTex remarked:
"There is something seriously wrong with this man and I'm truly sorry for his wife. I can't imagine turning the most important moment of their lives into an ad for slop aimed at kids," wrote Redditor u/ImportantQuestionTex.
One community member described the 28-year-old as "greedy":
"Wow... did not know this man was having a child. He's so greedy he can't even enjoy the birth of his own child without turning it into some type of marketing ploy... the Paul brothers are really something else," commented Redditor u/CertainAd28857.
Not all reactions were critical of Logan Paul, as Redditor u/annotherloser found his actions amusing:
"Pretty funny NGL (not going to lie)," said Redditor u/annotherloser.
Meanwhile, Redditor u/Still-Helicopter6029 said:
"Is this ironic or satire? Cause this s**t is actually funny," remarked Redditor u/Still-Helicopter6029.
Has Logan Paul responded to the controversy involving Lunchly, his new business venture with MrBeast and KSI?
On September 18, 2024, Logan Paul took to X to respond to YouTuber Daniel "DanTDM's" criticisms of Lunchy. For context, DanTDM voiced his disapproval of the food and beverage product, claiming that Paul, Jimmy "MrBeast," and Olajide "KSI" were "selling c*ap to kids."
Logan Paul responded to DanTDM by saying that if he was upset with Lunchly, he shouldn't eat it:
"I'll tell you what happened to YouTubers. We spent our lives creating content and building our brands. Now we want to build businesses. You don't say anything when Lunchables faces bans for allegedly containing lead but when we create a better version, you're upset? Then don’t eat it."
Logan Paul responded to DanTDM again on September 24, 2024, this time with a YouTube video. While describing DanTDM as a "motherf**ker who is angry" about the situation, the Westlake, Ohio native wondered if the YouTuber was "mad" at him, MrBeast, and KSI for making pizza, crackers, and nachos.
