"Kinda creepy" - Netizens divided as MrBeast has 100 identical twins battling for $250,000 in upcoming video

YouTube star Jimmy "MrBeast" has recently faced a series of allegations, including a class-action lawsuit by some participants from his Beast Games project. Despite the controversy, the YouTuber has remained active and has continued to release videos. His latest video will be released later today (September 28, 2024), involving 100 identical twins who would compete for $250K.

Despite the unique video idea, the announcement has garnered some mixed reactions from fans. One user took to his X account to label the video as "creepy":

"Kinda creepy," said @BIGx2000

Another user commented about the recent Lunchly controversy (in which MrBeast collaborated with KSI and Logan Paul):

"I ain’t forget about Lunchly Mr Beast, I’m a d1 hater," said @KentLucik

Another commenter called out the video idea, labeling it as "lame". According to the user, they would simply skip forward to check who won:

"Another lame show that people will only watch for 15-20 minutes then get bored and fast forward to the end to see who wins," said @johnny5_man

Not all comments have been hostile, of course:

"MrBeast is the best YouTuber for real. He got a lot of imagination," said @yorboitom

Another said:

"This man might start some mind-blowing sh*t," said @boyyisepq

What are the controversies involving MrBeast?

MrBeast has been entangled in a series of controversies in the recent past. It all began when individuals like Rosanna Pansino and DogPack404 leveled allegations about the YouTuber. DogPack404 accused MrBeast of hiring a sexual offender and fabricating his videos, among other claims.

Another former employee, Jake Weddle, also came forward with allegations against MrBeast. Weddle claimed that he was promised a role as one of the core hosts on MrBeast's channel, but due to creative differences, he was essentially ostracized from the group. Weddle also alleged that he wasn't paid for a video he participated in.

MrBeast has also faced complaints regarding mismanagement in his upcoming Beast Games project, with many participants voicing concerns over health and safety issues. Some participants have filed a lawsuit against Jimmy, citing various issues including sexual misconduct and failure to pay wages.

MrBeast was also subject to criticism for his latest business venture, Lunchly (a pre-cooked meal box) which was a collaboration with Logan Paul and JJ "KSI." YouTubers like DanTDM have scrutinized the project, accusing them of selling "crap" to kids.
