Nina Agdal and Logan Paul did not have the greatest initial interactions. Agdal, a famous Danish model, put Paul through a lot of trouble because he was “cheap”.
In Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE episode #389, Agdal opened up about the time when Paul approached her with work. The YouTube megastar knew Agdal from the time he was a 19-year-old and the model appeared in a Super Bowl commercial. He had a crush on her for years before he could finally contact her.
Paul went through rounds of paperwork to get Agdal on board to work with him on his project called 99 Originals. However, Agdal bailed on him.
An angry Paul explained, “We got through rounds of contracts and the day before we were supposed to shoot for 99 Originals she fu**ing canceled on me. I was pissed.”
When Mike Majlak asked what was the reason behind the cancellation, Agdal brought up payment issues. She explained, “Well you [Paul] were first of all way too cheap. Like your day rate was s**t. Like absolute nonsense.”
Agdal also explained that she was not comfortable getting a percentage of the sales. She wanted the money up-front instead.
Nina Agdal feared being associated with Logan Paul due to his past
Agdal further opened up about how she felt it was unsafe to work with Paul due to his controversial past. While continuing her explanation for bailing on Logan, she said, “Obviously, you have a couple of things in your past that I did not know you personally and, it definitely, you know, I was, I wasn’t sure I wanted to be associated with that.”
Paul had faced multiple controversies during his days as a YouTube star. Most notably, he posted footage of the body of a suicide victim on YouTube in 2017 when he visited the Aokigahara forest, aka ‘suicide forest’, in Japan. He received massive backlash and publicly apologized for his wrongdoings. Later, he was also involved in the CryptoZoo ‘scam’ in which he failed to compensate more than $1 million to investors.

Agdal, however, looked past these in due time. She said that she started talking to Paul and got to know him on a personal level. This made her change her mind. Further, she slammed the media and netizens because “they love to pick on people that are doing well.”
The WWE superstar explained that Agdal stopped existing for him after she canceled on him. However, fortunes took a turn for the pair and presently, they are engaged.
