Career
[edit]Shortly after being announced as taking up a new regular weekly show on Friday nights on BBC Radio 1Xtra,[when?] the BBC released a statement that Logan would no longer be hosting the show. A statement from Logan referenced a number of publicly visible tweets made between 2011 and 2015 that perpetuated negative stereotypes offensive to women, specifically of mixed black heritage, that were brought to the attention of the BBC who made the decision he would be unsuitable to join the network. Subsequently, he also left the BBC Radio 1 Residency position.[2]
On June 29, 2018, he did commentary for New Japan Pro Wrestling during their CEOxNJPW: When Worlds Collide show[3] and for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) during the Fyter Fest pre-show on June 29, 2019.[4]

He has become a prominent member of the competitive community and regularly commentates competitive Street Fighter events across the world, often working with Femi “F-Word” Adeboye. He hosts a weekly show for Capcom UK on their Twitch and YouTube channel. He has been a commentator for some of the most prestigious events such as Capcom Cup Finals held in San Francisco, California, Red Bull Kumite and EVO.
