Exploring MrBeast's response to the allegations

Response to the use of CGI

Firstly, MrBeast addressed the allegations of the usage of CGI in his videos. Jimmy explained that while he does use CGI, his videos are real. According to him, the technology is only used to "touch up" the footage:

"For example, here’s a claim that DogPack404 made of an explosion claiming it wasn't real. It was real. We just touched it up in post."

Response to insider trading

Earlier this month, Stephen "Coffeezilla" released a video alleging that MrBeast had engaged in insider trading. During his interview today (November 23, 2024), Jimmy denied the accusations, stating:

"It was (his Crypto Wallet) managed by the fund. So I wasn't the one managing the wallet. I've never had access to the wallet, I've never done the buying and selling in that wallet."

Response to unethical business practices

Another allegation MrBeast addressed was the possibility of unethical practices in relation to his Feastables business. The accusations included him potentially using child labor to source cocoa. Jimmy stated that he has all the necessary certifications to refute these claims:

"Not only 100% of Feastables' beans Fair Trade Certified but 100% of them, we also pay a Living Income Reference Price. This is why it's hilarious that people are claiming we unethically sourced our cocoa. Everyone who said I used slave labor, I hope you delete your videos because you were spreading severe disinformation."

Jimmy also shared a couple of pictures from his visit to a Ghanaian cocoa farm as evidence:
