Logan Paul has dropped a new video showing behind the scenes of his now infamous video 'trolling' the BBC.
The BBC is left looking a little red-faced, after the British Broadcasting Corporation was trolled by Logan Paul. The Paul brothers have been grabbing headlines recently, but away from Jake Pau's victory over Mike Tyson, Logan Paul has been accused of a cryptocurrency 'scam.'
The BBC broke a story claiming it had seen evidence that Logan Paul has 'promoted investments without revealing he had a financial interest in them.' As well as facing a multi-million-dollar lawsuit over the failed CryptoZoo project, the BBC alleges that Paul has caused some crypto to spike by using his impressive 23 million YouTube followers - profiting off the back of this.
The BBC maintains that it had been asking for an in-person interview for several months, with Paul eventually agreeing to one at his gym in Puerto Rico. This is where things get a little fishy.

As journalist Matt Shea sat down with 'Logan Paul', he was seemingly unaware that he was being trolled by lookalike, Rodney Petersen.
In a behind-the-scenes video, Logan Paul has revealed how he pulled off the stunt and was feeding Petersen lines through an earpiece. As Petersen is under the Instagram handle @not_logan_paul, it seems like the perfect ruse.
Titled "I Trolled The BBC With My Lookalike", Logan Paul says: "Oh my god, he actually thinks it's me, what a dumba*s."
There's clearly no love lost between Logan Paul and the BBC, with the latter mocking Shea's previous attempt to interview Andrew Tate for the outlet.
Despite Paul having a ball behind the scenes, the video captures the moment Shea seemingly twigs something is up, with the filmmaker saying, "Why do you look so different to me?"
Shea continued, "I have to say, the real Logan Paul looks very different," before Petersen chimed in, "Did you come all the way over here to ask about how I look? Not everyone is as handsome as you Matt."
With Shea getting frustrated at the situation and Paul realizing the gig is up, the interview is about to be shut down. Things fell apart when Paul's team stormed the interview and accused the BBC of platforming predators.
Paul and his team took to the roof to heckle the BBC crew from above, with them also putting a poster of Shea alongside Hugh Edwards on top of their car. As one final jibe, Paul concludes, "Flustered, frustrated, and unaccomplished, the BBC boys were driven out of town."
All in all, Paul says it took Shea three minutes to realize that Petersen wasn't the real deal.
The BBC posted its own TikTok of the events, with Shae saying, "Minutes after leaving the gym, we received a letter from lawyers on behalf of Logan Paul warning us against publishing our allegations."
While some comments in both were full of jokes at Shea's expense, others highlighted how Paul failed to address the claims the BBC was there to put forward.
One fan said: "I can’t believe I actually just enjoyed a Logan Paul video."
Another added, "About time you start trolling w these mfs who try their best to ruin ur name," but someone else said, "This just sums up Logan Paul, complete arrogance and avoidance of consequence."
Even if the BBC wants answers from Logan Paul, it doesn't look like it's going to be getting them anytime soon.
