In 2018, Hanna did a promotion of makeup brushes, with other influencers, from the brand Kenza Cosmetics. The brand only charged shipped costs from the buyers.
Hanna’s fans claimed that they never received the brushes after placing the orders or they were poorly made. The original price of the brushes was $80 excluding shipping. But the promotion made by Hanna and Tana Mongeau, who is another YouTuber, asked their fans to pay just $10 in total for the whole set, including shipping.
Although Gabbie Hanna has been involved in several feuds, one of the serious ones involved Trisha Paytas, another Internet personality who has almost five million subscribers.

After her breakup with Jason Nash, another Vlog Squad member, Paytas left the Vlog Squad in 2019.
