Another day, another so-called YouTuber “feud” that sweeps the headlines, this time between
James Charles and Logan Paul after Logan did some petty editing!
And James is not standing for it… even if it was just a joke!
What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News, and do what you must to
enhance your photos, but NEVER, under any circumstances, crop James freaking Charles
out of the frame.
Now that we have that cleared up, let’s talk about the art of Photoshop.
It’s basically the first and only Photoshop rule of any social media user to NEVER make
your enhancements obvious.
This is where Jake Paul clearly went wrong as he shared a photo to Instagram whiting
out an ad for James Charles’ new reality show Instant Influencer.
So in case you haven’t been keeping up with the YouTube world lately, James launched his
reality show last month, and received massive amounts of praise and positive reactions from
fans.
But when Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast co-host and Maverick member Mike Majlak debuted
his new book called “The Fifth Vital,” he shared a photo of the new billboard for
it, which just so happened to be placed right next to James’ Instant Influencer billboard.
Clearly there was no shade thrown as Mike tagged James in his story, writing, “Best
billboard placement ever,” on the photo, but that’s when Logan decided to get involved
and stir a few things up.
While congratulating his good friend on his brand new achievement like a good co-host
should, Logan shared a photo to Instagram posing with Mike in front of said billboard,
writing, “i can’t read, but I’m sure @heybigmike’s new book is great.
he shoved 10 years of heroin addiction, violence, tragedy, trauma, AND most importantly: his
road to recovery... into 250 pages of brilliance.
so we surprised him with a big ol’ billboard on the walk of fame.
do yourself a favor and go get “The Fifth Vital” now on Amazon.”
Sweet, supportive and to the point, right?
But what many, including James, quickly noticed was that Logan had completely whited-out James’
billboard that was located directly above Mike’s.
This obviously didn’t sit well with James, who commented on Logan’s photo, saying,
“YOU DID NOT BLUR OUT MY BILLBOARD BEHIND HIM OMFG.”
And just to make it 100% known to fans exactly what was going on, James also shared side-by-side
photos to Twitter, writing, “Excuse me @LoganPaul I don’t f***ing think so!
This means war”
But before we get all up in arms and start taking sides, this seemed to be just good
ol’ comical banter between the two, as Logan quickly responded back with an edit that featured
James’ previous reality show advertisement, writing, “i fixed it,” to which James
said, “That’s what I thought bitch.”
Thankfully James also confirmed that this was a joke (for the most part), when he responded
to a fan begging him to not start a fight with Logan because he’d probably film the
whole thing.
James said, “we're friends and soon to be neighbors haha i'm just kidding... kinda”
Logan even took some time to clarify that there are no hard feelings between him and
James, writing on his Instagram story QUOTE, “Full transparency: two influencer billboards
on one street is two influencer billboards too many and I didn’t think @JamesCharles
would notice that we erased his billboard via photoshop but he did and now I feel bad.”
I meaaaannn, at least he was honest?
Many fans were relieved to hear that this wasn’t actually going to be a ‘war’,
but others began defending Logan, claiming that he was just trying to be a supportive
friend.
One user wrote, “WTH..... joke or no joke this is just rude, James.
@LoganPaul was just doing something nice for his friend.
It's not about you, so take a seat.”
But there was clearly NO need to get all up in arms over this light-hearted banter, as
another user responded by pointing out that, “They’re just messing around and mike
mentioned James first in his stories then Logan posted the edited pic.. james involvement
esp. tweets ended up getting Mike's book more attention.”
See guys, nothing to worry about here, and honestly, this whole thing is kinda a win-win
for both parties involved…
Be sure to let us know all your thoughts on Logan and James’ back-and-forth banter and
if you think editing James out of his photo was just asking for drama, or was it just
in good fun?
