Mr. Beast's Beast Games aired episode 5 this week on Thursday, January 8, 2025. The segment saw nine contestants compete to own the Beast Island and saw seven players get eliminated from the competition.

In one of the games, five players had to randomly pick boxes that decided their fate in the show. As the players stood in front of their respective boxes, Mr. Beast announced that a special guest was set to join them. Soon after, American rapper, Lil Yachty appeared on the screen and helped pull the levers that opened the boxes.

Fans of the Prime Video show commented on Lil Yachty's special appearance online. One person wrote on X:

"Lil Yachty is the most random & hilarious special guest. I'm crying its so funny."

"Dead** in what world does Lil Yachty need to be at Beast Games," a person wrote.

"Yachty got on #BeastGames and laughed at a contestant who lost the opportunity to win money. There’s quite literally nothing I like about him. Every time I see him, he does something. I cannot believe he’s a Virgo- that’s the most mind blowing thing, I love Virgos," a fan commented.

Lil Yachty's Beast Games appearance explored

Beast Games season 1 episode 5 aired on January 9, 2025, and featured nine contestants competing for the ownership of Beast Island. In the third game of the episode, the top five had to pick a captain without any knowledge of what was going to happen next.

Four contestants nominated themselves and they collectively decided to make the remaining player, 457, pick the captain. He picked player 441.

"Here's what we're going to do, in a moment all four of you are going to leave. When you leave, your team captain that you picked is either gonna put a check or an X inside of those boxes. He will then call you back one at a time, in whatever order he wants," Mr. Beast explained.

The host added that whoever chose a check would move on while one person, who chose an X, would be eliminated. The captain called Player 457 out first and helped him pick a box containing a check.

The captain also revealed his targets and said he wanted to target 413 and 711. He said he would be happy if either of them were eliminated from the Prime Video game show.

Before calling out the next player, the host revealed that to make the game "even more nerve-wracking and fun" he had invited a special guest to join them.

"A master of deception and mind games, known for his unpredictability. And today, he's here to up the stakes. You know him, you fear him. Bring him out! Lil Yachty," Mr. Beast announced.

As the rapper joined the team, Mr. Beast said he had no idea which box had the X. Lil Yachty added he didn't know what was going on either. As player 952 entered, she asked how the rapper was and he said he was "alive." When player 711 entered, he recognized the rapper and asked why Lil Yachty was on Beast Games.

"Oh, by the way, I brought Lil Yachty," Mr. Beast said.

Fans of the reality show commented on the rapper's guest appearance only and felt it was "funny."
