Logan Paul is one the YouTube’s most influential YouTuber and an incredible icon. As of now he is regarded a lucrative entrepreneur. His clothing line, podcast, boxing matches and now his newest venture NFT are also blowing up.

But things were quite different back then. He became one of the most hated influencers on internet after his Japan’s Aokigahara Forest video in 2017. In the video he showed the body of recently deceased suicide victim for which he received major backlash.

He was blacklisted from all the social media platforms and even got his content removed from Google Preferred. But among all the hate he was receiving, he got into an unexpected beef with the British YouTuber KSI which created a huge hype in the online community.

Since those two fights with KSI he has seen himself changing for the good. His YouTube started growing back and he also started a successful podcast named Impaulsive.

In his latest episode of the podcast he thanked KSI for helping him start a new character in his life, along with giving a kick-start to it.

“Shoutout KSI, like for real. “I’m so thankful that I had the opportunity to fight, literally fight, my way back up. Literally, dude. I’m fighting to try to change me and try to earn a spot back in what I — I wanted to be back with my peers in a respectable way.”

“And I did so through boxing,” he continued. “It was a nice, career pivot that really helped me find out who I was and become a person I really love. It was a bit of a cheat code for me. Not a cheat code, but it worked!”

Despite the rivalry KSI responded expressing request for the YouTuber in the comments section. “No need to thank me,” he wrote. “He’s done all the work and smashed it. Huge respect, for realm” he wrote in the comments.
