For a long time now, Logan Paul hasn’t quite remained in the limelight pertaining to his boxing run. However, he’s constantly been in the news for all his antics outside the ring. These days, Paul is staying super active on his social handles and he recently ventured into a hydrating drink business with his former rival, KSI.

Both the YouTubers joined hands to come up with the Prime hydration drink and they’re engrossed in extensive promotions for the same. A few days back, ‘The Maverick’ encountered a chucklesome incident involving his newly launched drink.

The Ohio native got attacked by baboons while he was on a vacation, and the baboon even ran away with his Prime drink.

Paul recently shed light on this matter while he was on the BFFs podcast. He said, “How about I said that it’s a f**king wild baboon in South Africa? Trained Baboon. It’s like a squad of them, dude.”

“He jumped from car to car. He jumped from car to car to so his boy could steal my s**t. I’ll be a 100% honest with you. I did not set it up, except the one I noticed him going for the Prime. The moment he took Prime out of the bag, I knew this was gonna be the best video on the f**king planet.”

One of Paul‘s friends recorded this incident on camera. That said, the entire video left the fans in splits, and meanwhile, the Prime drinks got a promotional boost rather unusually.
