Logan Paul's a man on the run, and not only from controversy.

The shamed YouTube star was out jogging Friday in L.A. -- the first time he's been seen in public since posting the controversial video of a dead body in Japan's Suicide Forest.

Logan was decked out in his Maverick clothing line, but even THAT'S gotten him in trouble. As we reported, another company, Maverick Apparel is threatening to sue him, claiming he's damaging its good name with his tasteless video stunts.

You can run, but ... y'know.

Disney Channel star Jake Paul, Logan's little brother, is pretty comfortable using the n-word -- he dropped it at least twice during a freestyle rap.

TMZ obtained this video of the "Bizaardvark" star hanging with friends late at night near Palm Springs during Coachella weekend 2015. Jake was freestyling over Rae Sremmurd's "Throw Sum Mo" beat, and early in the video, around 7 seconds, he raps something about ... "little ass n***as."

Later he says, "I whip it like my n***a Richie Vetter, he make the pu**y so wet it gets wetter."

A source connected to Jake tells us the 20-year-old isn't racist. It's interesting he was rapping over a Rae Sremmurd track ... since the source pointed out Jake just did a collab with Slim Jxmmi for Jake's Christmas album.

Jake's big brother Logan is, of course, dealing with a huge backlash after posting video of a dead body, and has issued two apologies.

Our Jake source says the actor and YouTube sensation has matured a lot since this video was shot.

We reached out to Jake's reps for comment, but so far no word back.

Logan Paul's suicide video doesn't seem to have affected his side hustle as the lead in an upcoming horror movie ... at least not yet.

Logan's the centerpiece of writer Jeffrey Reddick's new fright flick, "Superstition: The Rule of 3's." Production sources tell us he hasn't been axed in the wake of controversy ... you'll recall Logan broke into momentary laughter in the video after he spotted a man hanging from a tree.

Doug Falconer -- CEO of Falconer Productions, which is producing 'Superstition' -- confirms with TMZ ... there have been no talks to recast Logan.

But here's the rub. Falconer hadn't even heard about the uproar and said he wanted to talk to the other producers. We're guessing word must have gotten around to at least some of the producers by now, which makes it all the more curious no one gave Falconer a heads-up.

Short story ... it's not case closed, yet.

Danielle Bregoli thinks Logan Paul should be ashamed of himself for posting a video of a dead man in which Logan appears to laugh at the situation ... and she doesn't accept his apology one bit.

We got the freshly-minted rapper Tuesday night at LAX and she took aim at Logan, calling him "disgusting" for first talking about depression as a fatal illness as a body hung from a tree in the background ... then letting out a laugh.

The 14-year-old thinks Logan might've been able to escape the fiasco unscathed had he not laughed ... but he did, and she's sickened.

And even though he apologized twice, it sounds like she's still not forgiving him ... how 'bout dat?!

Logan Paul is taking a second swing at apologizing for posting video of a dead body in Japan's Suicide Forest.

The YouTuber and actor posted a video Tuesday, apologizing to just about everyone for the video ... including the suicide victim and his family.

Logan says he doesn't expect to be forgiven, but still did a mea culpa anyway for what he calls a lapse in judgment.

As we reported ... Logan posted video of the suicide victim's body hanging in the forest ... and immediately caught a ton of heat from his fans and several celebrities. He removed the clip and posted a written "I'm sorry" statement.

The celebrity backlash against Logan Paul has begun ... with "Breaking Bad" star Aaron Paul unloading on the YouTuber as "pure trash" over his dead body video.

FYI, Aaron is not related to Logan -- but if they were, you can bet he would have disowned him by now.

"Dear Logan Paul, How dare you! You disgust me."

"I can't believe that so many young people look up to you. So sad. Hopefully this latest video woke them up. You are pure trash. Plain and simple. Suicide is not a joke. Go rot in hell."

Piers Morgan is also slamming Logan ... saying, "You’re a sick, twisted, heartless little prick."

Logan tried to smooth things over after shooting and posting a dead body he found in Japan by writing an open letter ... but so far, it seems it's being rejected harshly.

Logan Paul is making a full mea culpa for posting a vlog showing a dead body he discovered in Japan ... saying he only intended to raise awareness about suicide.

The famous YouTuber posted the original 15 minute video Sunday showing him and some friends venturing through a forest at the base of Japan's Mount Fuji -- otherwise known as "Suicide Forest" for the high number of self-inflicted deaths that happen there.

In the video -- which is incredibly graphic -- Logan and his crew stumble upon a dead body hanging from a tree. He comes up close to the body and zooms in while police are called.

As you might imagine, Logan caught a huge amount of backlash online -- and he took down the video soon after. He also issued a lengthy apology Monday.

"I can ride your girl with no handlebars ... no handlebars, no handlebars."

Misogynistic lyrics?! Hell no ... so says Logan Paul, who's firing back at the Flobots after the band blasted his "Handlebars" remix as dumb and sexist.

BACKSTORY: Paul released "No Handlebars" back in November and it blew up -- more than 28 million views on YouTube. The whole song contains nonsensical lyrics about riding a chick like a bike.

Flobots founder Jonny 5 HATED the remix and blasted him in a response diss track -- claiming he disrespected the original version ... and clowned Logan by saying, "Looks like Donald Trump's kid has arrived."

He also called Logan young, dumb and attention-starved -- pretty aggressive stuff.

So, when we saw Logan at LAX, we had to ask what he thought of the Flobots diss -- and he had some shade of his own to throw ... playing the "Who are they?" card.

He also argued that he's not a misogynist -- he's just an artist trying to do creative things ... and doesn't really know what "riding your girl with no handlebars" really means.

LaVar Ball's decision to pull his son, LiAngelo, out of UCLA is a colossal mistake that could seriously HURT the 19-year-old in the long run -- so says UFC champ Tyron Woodley.

T-Wood rips into the Big Baller on the newest episode of "The Hollywood Beatdown" -- saying LaVar's parenting moves are selfish and out of whack ... and sends a damaging message to his kids.

"You're teaching [LiAngelo] a very bad lesson in life ... that if I don't like things, I run from it."

YouTube celeb Jake Paul ain't trying to get on the A-list ... he's more about the B-list, as in BILLIONAIRE.

We got Jake at LAX Monday where we congratulated him on plunking down $7 mil for a sick new Calabasas crib. Turns out Jake's early goal was to buy a pad in that area. So, he's checked that box.

What's next for the 20-year-old? He unloaded a list of goals for us, and pay attention to the biggest one -- 10 years from now Jake plans to be pretty high on the Forbes list.

Nate Diaz ain't gonna like this ...

Tyron Woodley says he's so confident he'll beat Nate's ass if they clash at UFC 219 next month ... he's willing to fight him with a busted shoulder!!!

"If there's any fighter that I think that I can fight with my shoulder not 100% ... it's that dude," Tyron said on "The Hollywood Beatdown" on the TMZ Sports YouTube channel.

Tyron is rehabbing a labrum tear -- but says he's not worried about it one bit.

There's A LOT more -- Tyron talks about the money he thinks he and Nate can rake in from the fight ... and why he's not even a little bit scared of Nate's famous Stockton Slap.

Woodley also tells us if snorting workout powder is a real problem in the bodybuilding community after the death of Rich Piana.

Kim Kardashian will NEVER be able to outrun the stench of her sex tape -- despite her family signing a $150 MILLION reality deal ... so says UFC champ Tyron Woodley.

With Conor McGregor expected to make $100 mil this year -- we had to ask who's had the more impressive career ... and Woodley explained why it's CONOR all the way.

It's all part of Tyron's new show, "The Hollywood Beatdown" -- where Woodley also reveals what happened when some DUMBASS tried to fight him a house party.

It ain't Holly Holm. It ain't Cyborg. There's only one fighter who could possibly entice Ronda Rousey to get back into the octagon ... at least, that's what Tyron Woodley thinks.

The UFC welterweight champ says he's all about Ronda making the transition to the WWE -- but if she's still got some fight left ... there's one legend who could be Ronda's perfect MMA dance partner.

Tyron got into it during his brand new show, "The Hollywood Beatdown" -- which drops every Friday on the TMZ Sports YouTube channel.

YouTube celeb Jake Paul is known for comedic pranks, but there's nothing funny about destroying people's hearing ... according to a new lawsuit.

A California man is going after the YouTuber and his team of pranksters for driving around L.A. with a super loud car horn and blaring it near unsuspecting pedestrians. The point of the prank? Capturing the looks on their scared faces ... far as we can tell.

According to the suit, Paul and crew rolled up on the guy as he was leaving a store in WeHo and the obnoxiously loud horn ended up damaging his hearing. He says his encounter with Jake's crew is included in a video posted on Paul's YouTube channel.

The man's suing Jake Paul and his company for damages for the injury and emotional distress.

GameOva Reedy loves seeing huge hip-hop celebs doing their own versions of her d**k-inspired freestyle, but thinks she's getting stiffed when it comes to getting credit for the viral craze.

Cardi B, Erykah Badu and Tiffany Haddish have all hopped on the #ForTheD challenge this week -- listing off things they'd do to get some D. Think Ice Bucket Challenge, but funnier with more penis references.

The hashtag was inspired by Reedy's track "FreeStyle" ... which has more than a million views online. While she's flattered by all the famous D riders, she admitted the anonymity's eating away at her.

Not to worry, she got a lot off her chest. Just like Cardi, Erykah and Tiff ...

Apple's head honchos gave the biggest plug possible to an unsigned, independent artist during their iPhone X launch, and she could land a record deal because of it.

We spoke with British singer/songwriter Emma Blackery -- whose EP, "Magnetised," and the artwork to her single got shown to millions of people tuning in Wednesday to Apple's presentation -- and she says it was a godsend.

Emma tells us she and her team knew her album and artwork were going to be on Apple's site, but got taken by surprise with the unexpected cameo on the jumbo screen. As of now, she's mostly known as a vlogger on YouTube.

As you might imagine, her fan base has soared since -- not to mention her business opportunities. She says multiple record labels have come calling ... and she's picking up.
