MrBeast officially overtakes T-Series to become the most subscribed YouTuber, fans celebrate

After an intense battle, internet star Jimmy "MrBeast" has officially overtaken Indian music record label T-Series to become the most subscribed YouTuber. For those out of the loop, Jimmy and T-series have been competing for the title of the top personality on the Google-owned platform for years.

Last year, on August 5, 2023, the Kansas native became the number one most-subscribed YouTuber and disclosed that he was looking to dethrone T-Series for Swedish YouTube veteran Felix "PewDiePie."

As Jimmy got closer to T-Series' subscriber count, he took to X on May 17, 2024, and challenged the corporation's CEO to a boxing match. He wrote:

"I challenge the CEO of T-Series to a boxing match."

Earlier today (June 2, 2024), MrBeast once again posted on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform, announcing that he had "avenged" PewDiePie by surpassing T-Series to become YouTube's number one channel.

He tweeted:

"After six years, we have finally avenged Pewdiepie (Face holding back tears emoji)."
