Content creators Ludwig Ahgren and Logan Paul have been publicly arguing but why have the two creators actually been beefing about?

Logan Paul has been the subject of major backlash throughout his career. Things have gone mainstream since he teamed up with James “MrBeast” Donaldson to make Lunchables competitor Lunchly. The children’s lunch kit inexplicably includes Paul’s own energy drink; Prime Hydration. On top of that, it’s been criticized for targeting vulnerable children and reportedly has had moldy cheese packaged inside. Paul has said differently, claiming that it’s now outselling Lunchables and “shaking up” the market.

This was just one of the latest in a long list of controversies surrounding the streamer turned WWE wrestler, following allegedly scamming his fans with a cryptocurrency scheme and seeing Prime investigated for numerous reasons. Now, Paul is back to defending his energy drinks against top YouTube streamer Ludwig.

Why is there drama between Ludwig and Logan Paul?

Logan Paul has taken umbrage over Ludwig’s numerous criticisms directed against Paul’s Prime energy drink.

It all started in July 2024 during MrBeast’s $1 million influencer competition. During the competition, Ludwig decided to drink a prime Hydration to “cheat” during the puzzle by having more energy. Now, Ludwig is claiming that the energy drink was just water.

“Logan Paul replaced his Prime with water. I’m pretty sure that motherf—-r is lying. Say what you want about me, but I’ve never put water in a f—–g Red Bull can. I drink that s— straight up,” Ludwig said during a stream at the time.

Ludwig went on to say that Paul claims to drink six of his own energy drinks a day but found it suspicious that the bottle was filled with water on the MrBeast set.

After hearing this, Logan Paul talked smack during his November 4 episode of the IMPAULSIVE podcast. Paul called Ludwig a “hypocritical, lying, blockhead beta b—-.”

He went on to say that Ludwig had the “audacity” to try and convince his fans that Paul doesn’t drink his own product.

Ludwig was quick to respond to Paul’s response. During a stream on November 6, the esports influencer questioned why Logan insulted him, calling it a “bit much.” He then mocked Paul for claiming the moon landing wasn’t real on the same podcast.

“This is also the guy who filmed a dead body. And also the guy who released a lunch package with mold. And also the guy who sued someone for making a video essay about him. And also the guy who said that a woman boxer shouldn’t be able to win the Olympics because she’s, get this, a woman. So you know, I’m good,” Ludwig said.

After the burn, Ludwig also responded to claims that Paul was lashing out at him because he accused him of having “inside” information during MrBeast’s challenge. To this, Ludwig said that he did believe Paul may have cheated but that he didn’t really care about it.
