What made Logan Paul slap the heckler outside LA club?
Logan stood in front of the nightclub when a bunch of paparazzi and autograph seekers came to him.
The internet star was constantly asked about his rumoured fight with Mike Tyson, but he decided to remain silent.
While Logan was busy ignoring the questions about his potential fight with the former pro-boxer, a man called him out saying, “Are you a p***y, or what??”
The crowd, as well as the YouTuber, were visibly shocked to hear that. As the cameras turn to the heckler, Logan is then seen following the man, who attempts to walk away.
The social media star aggressively approaches the heckler before getting in his face and pushing him. He then proceeds to slap him in the head.
Logan keeps smiling throughout the whole situation despite things getting tense. The YouTube star’s good pal, Mike, jumps in to break the altercation.
Mike, 36, pushes and shoves the heckler backwards before security jumps in and bear hugs the guy.
Mike urges Logan to calm down, and the duo waits for the valet member to fetch his Polaroid camera. After receiving the gadget, Logan walks into the club.
The YouTuber, who is visibly shaken from the incident, ends up dropping the camera on the ground.
