Popular YouTubers Jimmy "MrBeast" and Sean "Jacksepticeye" have apparently solved their differences following a recent controversy. The feud started when a clip of a lie detector test that Sean was taking went viral on social media, and the Irish YouTuber confessed that he did not really like what Jimmy had done to YouTube.
Considering the criticism was coming from such a popular YouTuber, Jacksepticeye's comments naturally sparked controversy online, with fans of either creator going off at each other on social media.
However, in a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), MrBeast quashed all rumors of an apparent rift between the two, saying they have talked privately and that everything was "Gucci":
"We messaged, we're Gucci now."

Jack's reply with a cowboy thumbs up also indicates that whatever their differences, the two are now on good terms.
What happened between MrBeast and Jacksepticeye?
For those unaware, the feud started during a lie detector test where popular British Minecraft streamer TommyInnit asked Jacksepticeye whether MrBeast had ruined YouTube. In his response to the already controversial question, the YouTuber had said:
"Yes. Because it became more about views, money, and popularity than it did about having fun. If he had fun doing those videos, they'd be longer. We'd see the fun."
In response, Creator of the Year award winner MrBeast hit back at his fellow creator and, in a now-deleted post on X under the above clip, wrote:
"So, I 'ruined YouTube' because I didn’t buy a mansion and sports cars and instead reinvested my $ into making content/focused on doing good and inspiring kids to help people?"
MrBeast also described the whole clip of Jacksepticeye as highly disrespectful to what he had achieved but refrained from making counter-comments and took the high road, saying:
"This clip is insanely disrespectful IMO and obviously there is so much I could say about his content but I’ll just take the punches and be the bigger man."
