Logan Paul apologizes to Coffeezilla amid fallout over NFT project

In a surprising twist, Logan Paul deleted his response video directed at Coffeezilla’s series on CryptoZoo, accusing the latter of spreading misinformation and even threatened to take him to court.

From posting sketches on Vine to transitioning to YouTube and even wrestling in WWE, controversy and legal issues have followed Logan Pauls ever since he was a teenager. His rise to fame has been chaotic. The social media star’s NFT venture – Crypto Zoo – is no different. There is no denying that the project is in a lot of trouble.

Backtracking on Coffeezilla’s claims, Paul said he wants to take responsibility, apologize and come up with a plan for his NFT venture in the near future.

Logan Paul’s apology

Popular internet detective Coffeezilla, aka Stephen Findeisen, claimed that Paul’s Crypto Zoo project was a scam over a three-part series.

As previously reported, Crypto Zoo launched in September 2021 with Paul as one of the founders. Before that, the 27-year-old Ohio native pushed a significant in-game frenzy, which was claimed to allow users to earn a passive income. Despite promising huge returns, Coffeezilla said investors were left with big holes in their pockets.

More than a year later, there has been no game. In the video, the investigator alleged that CryptoZoo had been abandoned by its developers shortly after its 2021 launch, with Paul quietly distancing himself from the project afterwards.

After remaining silent for a few days, Paul retaliated with insults for “sensationalizing” the story. He defended himself by blaming two people currently under criminal investigation, who served as co-founders and advisors to CryptoZoo, as the true culprits of any wrongdoing. Paul also addressed the controversy in a now-deleted episode of his podcast “Impaulsive” and vowed to drop a defamation suit.

Less than a week later, he apologized to Coffeezilla. The mailwhich was made on the Discord server, read,

“I will take responsibility, apologize and come up with a plan in the near future. Thank you all for believing in this project and sticking with me. It was rash and misaligned with the true problem so I called him today and apologized… the war is not with coffee. In fact, I am grateful that he brought this to light.”

Try with shady crypto projects

This is not the first time Paul has found himself in hot water over a shady project. In fact, the social media celebrity was accused of promoting a “shitcoin” called Dink Doink in July 2021.

Paul was the main focal point of the promotions of the project which parodied the popular animated show “South Park”. He drew considerable flak after it lost all its value.
