    AceShowbiz – Years after posting the shocking suicide forest video, Logan Paul is still dealing with the repercussion of his bad decision at the time. The YouTube star is now sued by a production company which claims that he jeopardized a movie he was signed to star in following the controversy.
    In a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Planeless Pictures reveals that Logan inked a $3 million deal with the company in 2016 to star as a fictionalized version of himself called “Airplane Mode”, in a movie that was developed as a spoof on modern-day trend-setters, like Logan himself, his brother Jake Paul and other social media stars.
    Logan additionally was set to write and help produce the flick, and he even agreed to help get other influencers, such as his brother Jake, Juanpa Zureta, Nick Bateman and Amanda Cerny, onboard the film. The plan was to distribute the film through those influencers’ YouTube channels and other social media platforms as a new and revolutionary way to market and monetize the film.

    However, the deal was completely destroyed after Logan posted the Japanese forest video in 2017, which landed him in hot water. The controversial video captured the then-recently deceased corpse of a man who had died by hanging himself in Aokigahara at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan, known as the “suicide forest” due to its infamy as a suicide site.
    Planeless Pictures alleges that Logan deliberately posted the suicide forest video knowing it would jeopardize the movie project. The company says at the result of it, Google ended their contract and left them $3 million in debt, which Planeless claims Logan owes them.
    The 25-year-old vlogger posted an apology after the video gained a lot of negative feedback. “Let me start with this – I’m sorry,” he wrote on Twitter at the time. “I’m surrounded by good people and believe I make good decisions, but I’m still a human being. I can be wrong.”
    “I didn’t do it for views. I get views. I did it because I thought I could make a positive ripple on the internet, not cause a monsoon of negativity,” so he explained. “I intended to raise awareness for suicide and suicide prevention and while I thought ‘if this video saves just ONE life, it’ll be worth it,’ I was misguided by shock and awe, as portrayed in the video.”

      The song also finds the YouTube personality questioning whether the free agent is truly as wealthy as he claims he really is and disses him over his legal woes.
      Feb 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Logan Paul is taking his feud with Antonio Brown to a whole new level. Pushing for a boxing showdown with the former NFL wide receiver, the YouTube personality came out with a diss track that takes a jab at the free agent’s career downfalls and legal woes.
      On Sunday, February 9, the 24-year-old unleashed the song titled “Going Broke” along with its mock music video via his YouTube account. In the over-three-minute clip, he could be seen sporting a New England Patriots jersey with Tom Brady’s No. 12 as a reference to the team who dropped the 31-year-old after only one game.
      “No you should, no you should’ve never started with me/ No, you shouldn’t/ Say you ain’t playin’ games but your head look like some Tetris,” Paul spitted in part of the track’s verse. “Dropped by your agent and your lawyer, why you flexing?/ I’m here to save you, take the blessing/ ‘Cause your career fell apart like One Direction.”
      In the diss track, Paul additionally made fun of Brown’s music foray with “Whole Lotta Money”, suggesting the athlete was not as wealthy as he claimed. “Yeah, Mr. Whole Lotta Money goin’ broke/ ‘Cause Mr. Whole Lotta Money gon’ choke,” he sang in the chorus. He further taunted the views of his rival’s music video. “Yo, take a hint, get the f**k off YouTube,” he belted out.

      Paul teased about the diss track back in January. “Antonio Brown, despite causing a slew of problems with the law, has now denied two multi-multi-million dollar official offers to fight me,” he wrote on Twitter, tagging Brown along. “You’ve wasted my time and leave me no choice but to body you via diss track.”
      On the boxing match itself, Paul first launched his challenge at Brown in late 2019. “Antonio Brown, I wanna f**k you up,” he said during an appearance on Barstool’s KFC Radio fresh off his rematch with British YouTuber KSI. In early January, Brown responded to Paul’s match invite by posting on Twitter, “square up @LoganPaul.”
      It was not until Paul claimed he will drop Brown “faster than the Patriots” that the latter claimed to have enlisted former professional boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. to prepare him for the match. “2020 boxing match vs @loganpaul,” Brown bragged on Instagram. “my trainer @floydmayweather let’s get it…. Comment below if you coming to fight.”
