Logan Paul Faces Criticism for ‘Beefing’ with Ryan Garcia in His Baby Announcement Post
Logan Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, is once again in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. What should have been a celebratory moment for Paul and his fiancée, Nina Agdal, after the birth of their baby girl, Esmé Agdal Paul, quickly turned into unexpected social media drama. The situation involved fellow boxer and rival, Ryan Garcia.
On September 29, 2024, Logan took to Instagram to announce the arrival of his first child. He shared a touching caption, “Esmé Agdal Paul has entered the chat.” The post featured sweet photos of the new family of three and was meant to mark a new chapter in Logan’s life. He hoped to showcase a more mature and personal side of himself.
Congratulatory messages poured in from fans, friends, and family. These included messages from his brother Jake Paul, UFC announcer Bruce Buffer, and others. However, one particular message from Ryan Garcia caught the public’s attention.
The Comment That Sparked It All
Ryan Garcia, a professional boxer and one of Logan’s rivals, left a simple congratulatory comment. He wrote: “Congratulations 👏.” On the surface, the message seemed friendly.
But given their history—including an ongoing defamation lawsuit over Garcia’s comments about Logan’s Prime Hydration drink—tensions were still simmering beneath the surface.
Instead of letting things be, Logan chose to reignite their feud. He responded to Garcia’s congratulatory message with a sharp remark: “Prime still suing you for lying but thanks.”
Garcia did not escalate the situation. His reply was calm but firm. He said, “I couldn’t care less about your lawsuit, I’m giving a congrats to the birth of your child.”

Public Backlash: “Behave. You Are a Parent Now.”
While Logan may have intended to assert his dominance in the ongoing feud, the public quickly turned against him.
Fans flooded the comment section and social media platforms, criticizing Logan for turning a positive moment into a display of ego.
Many felt that his response was unnecessary and inappropriate, especially since it involved his newborn daughter.
One fan commented, “This says a lot about Logan Paul. He can’t even take a thank you.”
Another user wrote, “Bro’s thinking about lawsuits on his daughter’s birthday, crazy.”
Many others echoed this sentiment, disappointed that Logan couldn’t put his rivalry with Garcia aside. One commenter urged, “Damn bro, relax. Enjoy your baby.” Another person added, “Behave. You are a parent now.”
As the exchange went viral, the conversation shifted. People were no longer celebrating Logan’s fatherhood.
Instead, they were discussing his inability to let go of old grudges. A moment meant for joy had turned into another chapter in Logan Paul’s public controversies.
A History of Bad Blood
For those unfamiliar with the background, Logan Paul’s lawsuit against Ryan Garcia stems from defamatory comments the boxer made about Logan’s Prime Hydration brand earlier in 2024.
Garcia made bold claims that Prime was “unhealthy” and “hurting kids.” He even went as far as saying that anyone who drinks it is “working for Satan.”
In response, Logan sued Garcia for defamation, and the case has been ongoing. Garcia issued a public apology soon after, saying, “I just feel bad for the fight that we’re going through because I’ve known the family for years.” However, tensions between the two remain unresolved.
The Instagram spat during Logan’s baby announcement was just another episode in their feud. But this time, the public’s reaction was less than favorable for Logan.
Family and Friends Weigh In
Despite the drama, many well-known figures from Logan’s circle showed love and support for the new family.
Logan’s brother, Jake Paul, expressed his excitement for the new arrival. He commented, “SO INSANE SO HAPPY FOR YOU,” celebrating the birth of his niece. UFC announcer Bruce Buffer also shared his excitement, writing, “Big cheers and congratulations!!!”
Amanda Cerny, a longtime friend of Logan’s, pointed out, “She already has Nina’s eyes. Beautiful! Congratulations to the Agdal Paul family.” Other friends like Mike Majlak and several influencers across social media also posted their congratulations.
Even Logan’s mother, Pam Stepnick, joined in. She wrote, “Grammy Pammy has entered the chat too!! Thank you Logan and Nina, thank you for bringing this little Angel into our family!!! Best collab yet!!!”
A Lesson in Priorities?
Logan Paul’s response to Ryan Garcia in the comments has sparked widespread criticism. Many are now questioning whether Logan is ready to fully embrace fatherhood.
His need to assert his ego, even during such a personal milestone, shows that fame and feuds still weigh heavily on his mind.
One fan shared a harsh critique, saying, “Logan Paul really is the most dislikable person I know.” This sentiment reflects the growing frustration some fans feel over Logan’s behavior.
As Logan begins his journey into fatherhood, it remains to be seen if this moment will serve as a lesson for him. Can he prioritize family over feuds?
For now, Logan may need to take a step back, as his fans suggested, and focus on what truly matters—his new role as a father. Whether this incident will help Logan grow past his impulsive behavior is something only time will tell.
