Drama Alert host Daniel "Keemstar" called out former Beast Gang member Jake "Jake the Viking" for defending his alleged brother-in-law and MrBeast ex-employee "Delaware". The allegations, originally made by YouTubers DogPack404 and Jake Waddle, stated that MrBeast had hired Delaware (a pseudonym for the accused individual) knowing that the latter was a registered sex offender.
Calling him "the biggest clown on the internet," Keemstar strongly condemned Jake the Viking for coming out in defense of Delaware and accused him of "virtue signaling." He stated:
"I'm sorry, but Jake the Viking from the MrBeast videos might be the biggest clown on the internet. This dude has spent months, and months and months, getting clout, getting attention by speaking up against Kris Tyson, and speaking out against MrBeast by virtue signaling online in f**king tweets every single day that Kris Tyson was a danger to kids."
"The Viking knew too": Keemstar speaks out against Jake the Viking after the latter defends MrBeast ex-employee Delaware
MrBeast has been subjected to multiple allegations by YouTuber DogPack404, one of his former employees. The original allegations, made in a video titled "I Worked For MrBeast, He's A Fraud," include the creator allegedly holding illegal lotteries, selling "fake" signatures, as well as rigging or scripting his videos to favor a particular outcome.
In the video titled "I Worked For MrBeast, He's A Sociopath," uploaded to YouTube by DogPack404 on August 8, 2024, the YouTuber not only accused MrBeast of hiring Delaware, a supposed "known registered sex offender," but also of supposedly "covering stuff up" regarding the situation.
On the same date, Jake the Viking made a post claiming that when Delaware was 21 years old, he had been accused by a 16-year-old of sexually assaulting her, for which he took a "plea deal".
Criticizing him for his response regarding the situation, Keemstar accused Jake the Viking of trying to gather "clout" online by talking about the allegations made against MrBeast and stating that the latter "knew" about Ava Kris Tyson. He said:
"There's nothing wrong with him speaking out, there's nothing wrong with him taking this position 'cause clearly he's right. But he's just doing this for f**king clout and attention! Because now we find out, his brother-in-law, that he's defending, right? That worked for MrBeast, is a registered sex offender! Not 'allegedly,' no! He was actually convicted of f**king around with a minor!... Now, put it in context, that the Viking knew too."
Another set of allegations being faced by MrBeast comes from YouTuber Rosanna Pansino, who claimed that participants in the former's upcoming Prime Video show Beast Games had been treated poorly during their time filming on set. Allegedly, the contestants were provided restricted access to food, water, and medications, with some supposedly undergoing seizures due to such limitations.
