Logan Paul Says He Has Been Banned from Entering Egypt

The 29-year-old wanted to visit the country to film a video with MrBeast.

YouTuber Logan Paul revealed that the Egyptian government has banned him from entering Egypt, The Sun reported. Paul, an internet influencer turned World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) fighter, claims that he will not be allowed to visit the North African country to collaborate with fellow YouTuber MrBeast to film a video exploring the pyramids. MrBeast—whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson—informed Paul, Egypt’s government warned Donaldson that Paul is not allowed to visit the country. The government also allegedly refused to divulge exactly why Paul, who has been at the center of controversy, is not allowed to enter, leaving the 29-year-old WWE fighter stunned. Paul said, “MrBeast just uploaded a new video exploring the pyramids, and I love the pyramids. So I was like, ‘Jimmy, can I come?’ And he was like, ‘For sure dude’.” Only things didn’t turn out in Paul’s favor. Paul continued: “Then a week later he called me and was like, ‘Dude, unfortunately the Egyptian government said you can’t come, otherwise we can’t come’.” Paul was surprised that his notoriety had found its way to a country he had never visited. “And I was like, ‘Wait, what? I know I’ve p---ed people off, but the Egyptian government? I’ve never even been to Egypt, what can’t I come to the pyramid?’” Donaldson confirmed the news. “He said, ‘I don’t know, the government specifically said you are the only person that cannot come on this trip’.”
