Toxic YouTuber-turned-professional-boxer Logan Paul is leaving the continental United States.
The 25-going-on-13-year-old said a few weeks ago that he was planning to move out of Los Angeles because the taxes in California are “f*cking insane.” Now, he’s making good on that promise and relocating to Puerto Rico.
On his latest podcast, Paul revealed that he recently eschewed advice of public health officials and flew down to Puerto Rico for a little vacation. To his surprise, the U.S. island territory wasn’t the “third-world country” he was expecting it to be, and tax rates are low, sooooo he’s moving there!

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I went out there to scout it, and I fell in love with it,” Paul explained. “Obviously, I’m impulsive, and I trust my gut, my instincts. I feel like it’s the closing of a chapter and the opening of a new one.”
Nobody is more upset by this news than the people of Puerto Rico and their friends.

Since its trending, I speak for a vast majority when I say "Logan Paul, you are not welcome in Puerto Rico. We are sick and tired of the gentrification and treating our land as a tax haven."

Paul has a long history of problematic behavior. In January 2018, he made international headlines when he posted a video of himself pointing and laughing at a suicide victim’s corpse to his YouTube channell.

One year later, in January 2019, he made headlines again when he was accused of being homophobic after joking about “going gay” for a month, implying that being gay is a choice. The remarks inspired an epic clap back from Gus Kentworthy.
Instead of "going gay for a month" can Logan Paul "go away for forever"?

And in December 2019, he made headlines again when a cellphone video of someone who looked like Paul performing oral sex on another man emerged online. The identity of the man in tape has never been verified.
No word yet on when Paul plans to move or where on the island he will live.

He gets money for doing nothing, complains about taxes and is homophobic. We know which political party he’s a member of.

Again speaking on something u have no knowledge of. Logan has really matured over the last couple years, was the leading influencer for BLM on youtube and as a very harsh speaker against Donald Trump as well. Normalized growth and maturity.
Cam
@bamkam
And he did those things after getting backlash for his behavior. And please point out how my comment was wrong. What exactly does he get paid for?

Poor Puerto Rico, as if la Isla Encantada needed any more challenges to deal with these days, here comes this nut Logan Paul. I remember when some of the libertarian techies wanted to turn PR into their new hub, though I gather that didn’t work out so well. Also, didn’t a majority of Puerto Rican voters vote yes for statehood? Why not make it and DC the two newest US states, give them a federal say in their futures, and stop the taxation without representation, however low it may be (now) down there.
bamkam
Logans chill now its his brother u gotta worry about
Doug
It doesn’t look like even one of these tweets is from anyone living in PR.

Who cares about Logan Paul
Man About Town
How fitting that he was born on April Fools Day!

Well… hmm.. Okay first off, I have no idea who Logan Paul is. This is the first I have ever heard of him. So i am going to assume he is yet one more of the endless parade of “straight” pseudo-celebs that Queerty tends to obsess over. So somebody catch me up here. Is there any reason to care about this?
Monkey1
There is an amazing new invention called the internet where you can find out everything about anybody, so no need for anyone to give you a presentation on who this person is.
David
Monkey1 – There is an amazing skill call reading. Where you get the context correct. I didn’t ask who he was. I asked if there was a reason to care.
Monkey1
If you google him, apply your reading skills but also try something called comprehension, and you will be able to successfully put together an opinion if he’s worth caring about.
