YouTuber turned professional boxer, Jake Paul, recently took a stand to defend his brother, Logan Paul, and MrBeast’s latest business venture, Lunchly, amidst a storm of criticism. In a recent episode of his podcast ‘BS w/ Jake Paul,’ Jake addressed the negative feedback surrounding Lunchly, a snack kit collaboration between Logan Paul, MrBeast, and KSI, which offers three different varieties: Turkey Stack ‘Ems, The Pizza, and Fiesta Nachos.
Jake Paul expressed his frustration at what he deemed as “completely outrageous” hate directed towards Lunchly. Comparing it to Kai Cenat’s collaboration with McDonald’s, Jake argued that unfair favoritism was at play in the industry. He highlighted the disparity in reactions, noting that while KSI, MrBeast, and Logan faced backlash for their innovative product, Kai Cenat’s McDonald’s meal launch went relatively unscathed.
Pointing out the double standards, Jake emphasized that the criticism aimed at young entrepreneurs like his brother was unwarranted. He commended Logan and his Lunchly partners for pushing boundaries in the food industry and challenged the notion of attacking emerging talents while overlooking established corporate giants.
“It doesn’t make any sense… it is better,” Jake asserted, drawing attention to the health benefits of Lunchly compared to its competitor, Lunchables. He criticized the tendency of some creators, press, and media to target successful individuals out of jealousy, waiting for any misstep to tear them down.
Moreover, Jake Paul highlighted the societal trend of building people up only to revel in their downfall, emphasizing the need to support young entrepreneurs rather than tear them apart. He underscored the responsibility of established corporations in promoting healthier options, rather than scrutinizing emerging talents for their efforts.

Not standing alone in his defense of Lunchly, Jake Paul found support from fellow YouTuber DanTDM, who criticized the lunch kit upon its release. In response to the backlash, MrBeast clarified that Lunchly aimed to provide consumers with a higher quality alternative at a comparable price to Lunchables, dispelling any doubts about the product’s value.
The controversy surrounding Lunchly serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by young entrepreneurs in the competitive market. Despite the innovative nature of their creations, they often encounter disproportionate scrutiny and criticism compared to established brands. Jake Paul’s vocal defense sheds light on the need for a fairer assessment of emerging talents and a shift towards supporting innovation in the industry.
