"I don’t know why": YouTuber-turned-fighter Logan Paul reveals Egypt has banned him from entry
Logan Paul, the former YouTuber who transitioned into boxing and wrestling, has revealed that the Egyptian government has banned him from entering the country, The Sun reports. However, the reason behind the decision remains unknown.
Paul explained that he had planned to travel to Egypt with fellow YouTube star MrBeast to film a video about the pyramids. However, MrBeast later called him and informed him that his entry had been denied.
"And I was like, ‘Wait, what? I know I’ve p****d people off, but the Egyptian government? I’ve never even been to Egypt, what can’t I come to the pyramid?’" Paul said.
This isn’t the first time Logan Paul has faced controversy. He is also widely disliked in Japan due to his infamous 2017 incident, when he filmed and uploaded footage from the so-called "Suicide Forest" near Mount Fuji, showing the body of a deceased person.
Despite the backlash, Japan did not ban Paul from entering the country. However, the fighter has stated that he would only return to Japan if formally invited.
