Jake Paul's Brother

With the rise of online content creation came new forms of entertainment. In a world where being a Youtuber is a full-time career, the Paul brothers are undoubtedly part of this growing culture of online superstars.

If you were born after 2000, you’re likely to have heard of the names Jake or Logan Paul by now. Known for their crazy antics, party-loving lifestyle, and larger-than-life personas, the two brothers were originally big names on Vine before the app went defunct in 2017. Moving to YouTube, their careers have skyrocketed, with the two having a combined total of 40 million+ subscribers.

Both Jake and Logan started with prank videos and vlogs before moving to other fields like music, podcasts, and now professional boxing.

Jake Paul Brother

Jake Paul has a brother, Logan Paul. The elder of the two, Logan Paul, was born on April 1, 1995. Both brothers attended Westlake High School in Ohio, which is where they were born and raised. Logan eventually dropped out of college to pursue a full-time career in content creation after going viral on Vine and was the first of the two brothers to achieve internet stardom.

Jake eventually followed in his brother’s footsteps, and both of them have since reached the upper echelon of YouTube success, establishing successful and lucrative careers on the platform.

Although both brothers have reached fame, they have also had to endure periods of controversy and public hatred. The most famous of these was the Suicide forest incident in 2018.

An established vlogger at the time, Logan Paul, made a video exploring the Aokigahara forest at the base of Mount Fuji. Internationally infamous as a suicide hotspot, this forest is said to be haunted by the innumerable souls that have killed themselves here. Paul and his friends entered the forest, preparing to spend the night.

While in the forest, Paul and his friends came across the hanging body of an unidentified dead man. While shocked, they also made jokes and laughed, with Paul initially saying, “Yo, are you alive? Are you fooling with us?” on seeing the body. He is later recorded struggling to suppress a laugh, saying, “This was all going to be a joke. Why did it become so real?”

After filming the arrival of emergency services, Paul is then on camera drinking Sake, saying, “That's the life, this daily vlog life. Guys, I said this in one of my first vlogs: I have chosen to entertain you guys every single day.”

While he did upload the video with a warning, he received heavy criticism over the incident. People all over the internet were outraged at the fact that he even uploaded a video with a dead person on YouTube. The jokes he made on camera only worsened the situation. To make matters worse, the majority of Logan Paul’s viewers are underage. The fact that he was exposing them to a sight this morbid with nothing more than a warning angered many.

People all over the internet were calling for the removal of his channel from YouTube, and he also faced repercussions from the Japanese Government. Although he uploaded many apology videos, not everyone has forgiven him. Since then, however, Logan Paul has moved on from just vlogging. Now, he has his own podcast called THE IMPAULSIVE. He also forayed into the world of boxing and currently has a record of 0-1 as a professional.

Logan Paul Boxing Stint

Logan Paul's professional boxing record currently stands at 0 wins, 1 loss, and 0 draws. His lone professional bout was against fellow YouTuber KSI. The first amateur bout in 2018 resulted in a draw. However, in their rematch on September 4, 2019, KSI clinched a split decision victory. In an unexpected development, Paul engaged in an exhibition match against the legendary Floyd Mayweather on December 6, 2020. Despite the bout lasting the full eight rounds, no official winner was declared. In 2023, Paul settled his highly publicized rivalry with Dillon Danis in an unsanctioned boxing fight, where Paul was declared the winner via disqualification.

Why did Logan Paul fight Jake Paul?

If you follow the Logang or Team 10, you’ve probably heard about the week-long beef between the Paul brothers. The beef was official with the release of “its everyday bro,” but unofficially, it started with the relationship between Jake Paul and Alissa Violet.

After moving to LA, Jake invited his then-girlfriend Alissa to move in with him, and she became one of the first members of Team 10. As time went on, though, their relationship declined as both accused the other of cheating and being unfaithful, culminating in the release of the song, which contained disses against Alissa.

Logan reacted to this in his vlog, dissing the track, which led to Jake getting angry and releasing his song “Logang sucks” the next day. Seeing this, Logan fired back with his own diss.

However, before putting it out, it is believed that he showed it to his parents, who told Jake that the track could potentially ruin his career if released. So Jake apologized for his disses against Logan and the Logang, and Logan only released the first verse of the track. At the end of the video, there is a bit of a woman climbing out of a car who is believed to be Alissa, but since Logan never released the second verse, fans will never know. Alissa also released her own diss tracks, working with RiceGum, and also released an explanation video titled “What you’ve all been waiting for,” where she explains her side of the story about her relationship with Jake.

The beef finally ended when Jake apologized to both Logan and Alissa, which also led to the release of the song “I love you, bro,” featuring both the Paul brothers.

While the whole incident seems like it was just a publicity stunt to get views, it captivated fans of the brothers and led to a massive increase in viewership for them.
