Streamer Ludwig has given his take on the allegations surrounding fellow YouTuber Jimmy "MrBeast." For context, there have been many claims about MrBeast faking his videos, hosting illegal lotteries and giveaways, and even hiring and protecting an alleged sexual offender. These accusations were mostly made by former MrBeast employee and YouTuber DogPack404.
Ludwig, who has collaborated with MrBeast in the past and knows him personally, has finally spoken about the situation on his Mogul Mail channel. According to the streamer:
"I think Jimmy needs to make a reply. He technically doesn't need to because he uploaded a video that got 120 million views and he could continue to upload videos without ever replying and continue to get hundreds of millions of views but I won't be able to support him. I won't support him in any way, shape or form."
"Crazy thing to do" - Ludwig calls out MrBeast to respond to allegations of hiring an alleged "sex offender"
Ludwig took to his Mogul Mail channel (where he usually recaps online controversies) to react to the ongoing allegations against MrBeast. In particular, he was surprised that a channel as big as MrBeast's would hire an alleged sex offender. The person in question was referred to as "Delaware."
Ludwig said:
"He needs to reply specifically to why he hired a sex offender. How did that happen? That's a crazy thing to do for a guy who runs a channel that is primarily targeted towards children."

Another allegation against MrBeast was that he had hosted fake giveaways where at least one of his shirts was signed by another employee instead of the YouTube star. Ludwig said:
"Everyone who bought a forged MrBeast hoodie gotta get their money back. They got scammed. I love a good scam but that is probably too much."
DogPack404 has already released a couple of videos documenting the allegations against MrBeast. He has also said there will be a third part where he will discuss the content creator's alleged cover-up of a "sexual assault" incident.
Reacting to this, Ludwig said:
"By far, the most severe claim that has yet to come out, that will come out and he has to make a reply to that too."
MrBeast is yet to drop a response to these allegations. The YouTuber did, however, upload a challenge video on his main channel on August 3, 2024. It was alleged that his team has been removing comments criticizing him under the video.
