In an interview with Philip DeFranco, Logan Paul accused Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny of committing tax fraud in his home country.
"Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican living in Puerto Rico who is privately taking advantage of the same tax program that he is publicly condemning," the controversial YouTuber declared.
However, according to reports, Paul himself is committing the same crime in the country. In 2021, he left the United States for Puerto Rico.
He referred to his new residence, Dorado, as "heaven on earth." It is an area frequented by wealthy mainlanders, reports added.
"I know this and I see things like this and it hurts. There are local Puerto Ricans who know about this" said the popular YouTuber. "I see this music video that has stuck me in the middle of it surround by context that makes me look like a vulture in Puerto Rico."
He is referring to Bad Bunny's recently released music video for his song entitled "El Apagón," which caused quite a stir as it tackled themes of gentrification.
"While I love Bad Bunny, I cannot personally support the hypocritical nature of his exploitation," Paul continued.
Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is a rapper and singer who is well known for making Latin trap and reggaeton music. He rose to prominence in 2016 with "Diles."
His recently released album "Un Verano Sin Ti," was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Urban Music Album at the 2022 Latin Grammy Awards.

Take Advantage
Paul is one of the many foreigners who moved to Puerto Rico in an effort to evade taxes. On his show "Impaulsive," he tackled this topic saying "It's crazy here in California, paying taxes, and for what? the streets are not fixed, homeless people everywhere, a dearth of employment, Covid not handled."
Act 20 and 22 or The Act to Promote the Relocation of Investors to Puerto Rico provide an outlet for individuals who want to evade tax laws. According to reports, the act "should result in new local investments in real estate, services, and other consumer products, and in capital injections to the Puerto Rico banking sector, all of which will stimulate the economy of Puerto Rico."
Paul along with his brother Jake Paul rose to prominence through a video-sharing application, Vine.
