  • Taiwanese influencer Ai Sha-sha is in a profit-sharing dispute with Nepali yoga master Raj Karmayogi over online courses.
  • Netizen Chen Yi commented that any additional profits beyond the agreed-upon terms do not belong to the yoga master.
  • Chen Yi suggested that disputes during filming might be more noteworthy if evidence is provided.

A dispute over profit sharing continues between Taiwanese influencer Ai Sha-sha and Nepali yoga master Raj Karmayogi concerning their online courses. The two have recently exchanged words regarding the "1% profit sharing" claim, with each side presenting a different account.

Internet personality Chen Yi weighed in on the controversy, stating on social media that if Ai Sha-sha and Karmayogi had agreed on terms and signed a contract beforehand, the yoga master has no grounds to feel cheated. Chen Yi argued that any profits exceeding the agreed-upon amount "originally did not belong to the master."

According to Ai Sha-sha's account, both parties had established a guaranteed minimum payment and a subsequent profit-sharing mechanism before the course launch. The platform ultimately paid the yoga master over NT$5 million, significantly more than the widely rumored 1% profit share. Chen Yi believes that if the contract stipulated this arrangement and the master received his due compensation, then the extra profits were not his entitlement.

However, Chen Yi also suggested that Karmayogi's claims of unpleasant experiences and disputes during filming might warrant more attention than the profit-sharing issue, provided he presents relevant evidence. Chen Yi concluded with a reflection on human nature when money is involved, humorously noting her own status as a "freebie" who only uses free online yoga tutorials.
