STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA: Logan Paul and his younger brother Jake Paul may seem to be best of friends nowadays, but that wasn't always the case. The Paul brothers were determined to make a name for themselves in boxing following a long and lucrative career as social media influencers.
The siblings have managed to hog the headlines consistently, all thanks to their controversies. The duo got their start on Vine by uploading prank videos that attracted millions of views. After the closure of the video-sharing app in 2016, they proceeded to amass millions of fans on YouTube and Instagram. Let's take a look at the many feuds between the siblings.
Feuds between Logan brothers
When Jake Paul called his sibling a 'fake fighter'
In 2021, YouTube star Logan Paul was set to throw down with undefeated professional boxer Floyd Mayweather, but his little brother Jake didn't seem to be a fan of the bout, even calling his sibling a “fake fighter.” Jake said in an interview with TMZ, "My brother is f**ked.” He added, “It’s bad for the sport. I think it’s just for clout. You know, my brother’s a fake fighter. I’m the real fighter. He’s 0-1, I’m 3-0." A week later, Logan replied, "But I fully support Jake, whatever drama he wants to stir or create, it really doesn’t bother me. ‘You’re a fake boxer.’ Okay. Let’s box, because Jake is the kid that gets beat up by my sparring partners.”
Logan Paul condemned Jake for filming looters during a George Floyd protest
In the summer of 2020, Jake made headlines when he filmed looters robbing a shopping center in Arizona following a George Floyd protest. After being detained and having his home raided by the FBI, he was eventually cleared of all charges. Logan, though, was critical of his brother's behavior, especially for putting himself in that predicament.
He said, "To be honest, this one is so f****** hard for me because I love the kid. I love him, but I don’t always like him. He’s my brother, he’s my family, he’s my blood. Sometimes I do not understand why he does the things he does as I’m sure he feels about me from time to time." He added, "Why he was inside of a mall that was being looted, I have no idea. I talked to him on the phone, he was at a dinner that was next to the mall. It was very unfortunate but very on-brand for Jake Paul to magically be seen at a looting site."
Logan's affair with Jake's ex-girlfriend
The conflict grew worse as "diss tracks" between the brothers became increasingly popular on YouTube and profitable for creators worldwide. When Jake's multi-platinum song 'It's Everyday Bro', featuring jabs at a number of social media icons he had once considered friends, was released, his brother responded with 'The Fall of Jake Paul'. When it was all said and done, the brothers' relationship was in shambles despite the fact that their films about each other had received close to 1 billion views. Fans were speculating whether the conflict was real or false when Logan persuaded Jake's ex-girlfriend Alissa Violet to appear in a film and the two ended up having an affair.
