Surprise, Surprise: Logan Paul’s Sydney Meet And Greet Was Chaos

Prior to being egged, Karl Stefanovic described the crowd as smelling like the "sweet smell of Lynx Africa".

Professional wrestler, finance bro, and former miniature pig owner Logan Paul is causing chaos in Sydney as part of an Australian tour to *checks notes* promote an energy drink..?

For those unaware, Logan Paul and fellow professional fighter KSI are currently en route on a cross-country tour of Australia, primarily to introduce the masses to the duo’s latest financial venture, the energy drink (of course) Prime.

Seeing as nothing riles up Australians like a) fighting and b) sugary drinks, the trip has already been predictably chaotic, with a proposed appearance at a Woolworths in Perth being cancelled due to safety concerns. Presumably the store’s general liability coverage didn’t extend to customers who suffered injuries after suplexing each other in the carpark.

Now, the pair are causing mayhem in the streets of Sydney ahead of their planned appearance on the Today Show. Thousands of people swarmed the Channel Nine building in the CBD this morning for a prospective meet and greet, with punters even reportedly camping out overnight to secure their spot in the queue. (This is depressing.)

Channel Nine personality Karl Stefanovic was briefly mobbed by fans after stepping out to enquire what all the hullabaloo was about — noting the fragrance wafting from punters was unmistakably the “sweet smell of Lynx Africa”. Wow.

With the turnout once again exceeding previous estimates, the meet and greet was cancelled. The sleep-deprived campers took it in their stride, though, making the most of their glimpse of Logan Paul and KSI by engaging in a heartwarming rendition of “Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie” instead.

I’m not sure if this is an established precedent or not, but KSI also appeared to do some kind of forehead reveal thing?

Despite police being called to the area to assist managing the wild crowd after punters reportedly pushed over a concrete barricade at the announcement of free samples of the titular energy drink, nobody was harmed at the event. Oh, apart from Stefanovic, who was grazed by an egg.
