Logan Paul's monkey encounter has gone viral again, confusing fans who thought it was a new incident. The video shows a monkey snatching Paul's backpack and grabbing a bottle of Prime, his drink brand.
The original clip was recorded in January 2022, but it's made a comeback on social media recently. In the video, Paul tries to get his stuff back from the monkey but ends up laughing at the situation. A second monkey steps in, looking tough and blocking Paul's attempts.
Paul first shared the video with the caption "wtf just happened @drinkprime". He's now reposted it saying "Got robbed but at least he's hydrated @drinkprime". This change in caption has made some people think it's a new event.
The video on Instagram shows the monkey ignoring everything else in the bag and going straight for the Prime bottle. This has led to some funny comments from fans.
"The best unintentional advert ever," one user wrote. Another said, "These animals are way more dangerous than dogs or MMA fighters."
Some viewers think the incident happened in South Africa, based on the setting. Others joked about the effects of the drink on the monkeys: "Definitely don't mess with them after they drink that Prime," one comment read.
While some people wondered if this was a planned stunt to promote Prime, most see it as a lucky accident that's given Paul's brand some free advertising. It's not surprising that an unpredictable influencer like Paul would find himself in such a situation, and fans are always ready for his next viral moment.
The confusion over the video's age shows how quickly content can resurface and spread online, especially when it involves a well-known figure like Logan Paul. It's a reminder that on social media, old news can quickly become new again.
