‘They Were Threatened to Blacklist Me’: Logan Paul Left Stunned as Guest Details Viral Prank That Got $138 Billion Company Heads Fired

Logan Paul has now ventured into the podcasting world with his own show Impaulsive. The podcast is currently one of the most successful ones on YouTube hosting a variety of guests, including celebrities and notable public figures. The latest episode of the podcast featured American YouTuber and prankster Roman Atwood.

Moreover, Atwood even detailed a viral prank of his, involving automotive maker Nissan, a company with assets and profits adding up to $138 billion that got him blacklisted from working with them. He was referring to his ball pit video in which he filled up his home with thousands of plastic balls.

Atwood stated that the prank was initially meant to be produced for a Nissan Super Bowl commercial. However, he wanted to part ways with them after disagreements. “The prank that changed my life was the ball pit video where I filled my house with balls. A lot of people don’t know that it was for Nissan. I made that video for Nissan for the super bowl and like two days before the video went up Nissan hits me up and they’re like hey we want a Nissan logo on this video somewhere and that wasn’t the deal.” He told Paul.

Moreover, he then stated that he fought with Nissan executives and eventually decided to do the project on his own. Atwood claimed that the executives tried to convince him to post the video for a week, but he didn’t, as he knew the video would go viral. Eventually, he would post the video, which became a viral sensation with over 90 million views.

“Huge heated fight for two days. I eventually said keep all your money I’m gonna just post my video which was huge because they had to pay me no matter what and then like hail mary manager calls me he’s like dude they want to pay you they just want to post it in a week on their channel. I was like, bad idea it’s going to go viral it’s going to be dead in a week and I was like as a joke throw in a Nissan GTR too. 30 minutes later they’re like done no way, video goes up it’s one of my most viral videos.” said Atwood
