The Egyptian government has barred Logan Paul from visiting the country.
YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, better known as Mr. Beast recently published a video exploring the great pyramids of Giza in collaboration with the Egypt Film Commission.
Talking about the video in his latest vlog, the ever-controversial WWE star revealed that he had actually requested to be a part of this trip. The Egyptian government however, made it clear that he was not welcomed in the country:
“Mr. Beast just uploaded a new video exploring the pyramids or something. And I love the pyramids. So I was like ‘Jimmy, can I come?’ And he was like ‘For sure dude.’ Then a week later he called me and was like ‘Dude, unfortunately, the Egyptian government said that you can’t come, otherwise we can’t come.’
And I was like ‘Wait what? I know I pissed people off at the Egyptian government, I’ve never even been to Egypt, why can’t I come to the pyramid Jimmy?’ He said ‘I don’t know the government specifically said you are the only person that cannot come on this trip.'”
Logan Paul was previously involved in a controversy relating to his trip to Japan. He received wide criticism for uploading footage of a corpse of a suicide victim on his YouTube channel.
In an interview with Dominik Mysterio last year, Paul had claimed that he was not officially banned by the Japanese government but he wanted to be invited back if he ever were to visit the country again.
