The article humorously claims that Logan Paul’s drink, Prime, is perfectly healthy for a fictional 9-foot-tall, 400-pound child, arguing that such children can safely consume the drink’s high caffeine content. The piece mocks the absurdity of over-exaggerated health claims while highlighting concerns about the drink's effects on smaller children.

The Onion, which is the publisher of the article provided, is a digital media company that posts satirical news. This may be confusing to people who don't know The Onion is satire. Regardless of the satire, it looks convincing but does not provide any links to where Logan Paul said this. So if the claim was said, it would not be a helpful article as it is crucial for journalists to state where a celebrity has said something.
