Logan Paul hits back at Ludwig for claiming he doesn't drink PRIME after filling bottle with water during MrBeast video
In the latest episode of the IMPAULSIVE Podcast, Logan Paul called out YouTube streamer Ludwig for claiming that the former does not drink PRIME. Ludwig's allegation stemmed from Paul filling his PRIME bottle with water while filming a MrBeast video with 100 content creators earlier this year (2024).
Ludwig had earlier been quite critical of Logan Paul in a video he posted after the MrBeast content creator challenge went live. In the video, the YouTube streamer criticized the elder Paul brother for various things, including not drinking his product, PRIME. Ludwig had claimed that when he had tasted the liquid in Logan's bottle during filming and found it was just plain water.
Logan Paul, who had xQc on as a guest on his podcast, blasted Ludwig for the claim and explained his side of the story. Now, clips of the interaction have gone viral on social media.
Logan Paul explains why Ludwig found water in his PRIME bottle while filming MrBeast's video
Logan Paul, like his business partner KSI, has always been a vocal supporter of his brands. This includes instances of promoting PRIME Hydration drinks or even defending Lunchly from allegations of FDA recall. So, he was understandably upset after Ludwig claimed that Paul does not in fact drink his own product.
On the IMPAULSIVE podcast, Logan vehemently criticized Ludwig:
"I go online the other day, and I see this dude Ludwig preaching to his audience about how I don't actually drink PRIME. In the box video, I walked in with a PRIME. Obviously, it was a MrBeast video, it's going to get 250 million views, I want people to see my product. I always plug, from day one."
Logan Paul then claimed that he had finished the bottle of PRIME and had chosen to pour water into it so that he could continue marketing his product during the MrBeast video. He even called it elementary marketing:
"I drank the PRIME in whatever, 30 minutes or an hour. And Jimmy's team was bringing water bottles to drink. So my options were— drink out of the water bottle and throw the PRIME out, or pour the water in the PRIME so I at least am still marketing my product in the MrBeast video and there is water inside of it. It's elementary marketing."
Logan also acknowledged that by pouring water into the bottle, he had fueled rumors about him not drinking his own product:
"But it fits that 'Logan doesn't even drink his own product' narrative perfectly that people that hate me love to say."
Logan Paul then proceeded to explain how Ludwig found water in his PRIME bottle. He revealed that Ludwig was trying to wet his mouth for the cookie-cutting challenge from Squid Games by taking a sip of Logan's PRIME bottle which was filled with water at the time:
"So evidently, he admitted that he wanted to go cheat because it was the cookie-challenge from Squid Games. So bro, he goes, 'I'm a cheater, of course I'm a cheat. So went to take a sip of Logan's PRIME. But in it, was water!'"
In related news, Logan Paul has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism for the launch of Lunchly lunch boxes with co-creators KSI and MrBeast after allegations of moldy cheese found in the product got traction.
