MrBeast is the social media alias of the popular American YouTuber James Donaldson, who runs the most subscribed individual and the second-highest subscribed channel on YouTube with over 248 million subscribers and a team of over 250 people.

The American YouTuber took to X (Formerly Twitter) to tweet that he was going to quit YouTube.

"I’m quitting YouTube," MrBeast's tweet.

This tweet from the American initially sent his fans into a big shock who soon realized that it was nothing more than an April Fools' prank. Serena Williams' husband and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who is a big admirer of the YouTuber, was among several people who nearly fell for his prank.
