Logan Paul, a YouTuber, arrived in India earlier this week, alongside MrBeast. The two internet personalities are in the country to debut their brands, Feastable and Prime. MrBeast (actual name Jimmy Donaldson) launched Feastables, a snack brand, and Paul pushed Prime, a range of beverages.
Logan Paul is just as well-known as MrBeast, the world's most-followed individual YouTuber. However, the American YouTuber is no stranger to controversy; in 2018, he faced widespread criticism after posting a video showing the body of an apparent suicide victim in Japan.
Paul was captured chuckling in the video, which was eventually removed from YouTube following a massive public outrage.

When did Paul film a dead body?
Logan Paul's most notable encounter with public outrage occurred in December 2017, when he captured and released a video of a deceased person in Aokigahara Forest, widely known as the "Suicide Forest" near Mount Fuji in Japan.
In the video, Paul and his pals discovered a body hanging in the jungle and made fun of the situation. The gang was observed laughing and joking as they gathered around the deceased body.
The incident sparked extensive criticism from viewers, who described it as profoundly rude and disrespectful. The media and mental health advocates joined the public in denouncing Paul's actions.
Later in a video he issued an apology.
