Controversy
The PewDiePie
On October 24, 2018, Jimmy made a video called, I Bought Every Billboard in my City to do this.
In the video, Jimmy used multiple billboards around his city to advertise PewDiePie and to prevent a music company, T-Series, from surpassing PewDiePie in subscribers.
![Mr Beast Height Mr beast Height](https://bigbiography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/mr-beast-and-pew-die-pie-controversy-google-search-1-64941e9aa56aa.webp)
Additionally, Jimmy created online ads to advertise PewDiePie that, when clicked, redirect to PewDiePie’s channel.
Jimmy also advertised PewDiePie on public posts, in newspapers, and on the radio, the PewDiePie advertisements have garnered significant attention locally and globally, causing PewDiePie’s channel to grow at a faster rate than T-Series.
T-Series was approximately less than 100,000 subscribers away from becoming the most subscribed channel up until the release of Jimmy’s video, which temporarily halted the channel’s growth.
Likewise, Jimmy’s channel had also gained exponential growth off of the video and the advertisement, which he had mentioned himself on multiple occasions.
Even after Jimmy helped out PewDiePie, PewDiePie made a tweet, It looks like this is it boys. with a picture of a text saying Dawn of The Final Day 24 Hours Remain, in which PewDiePie now surrenders his #1 most subscribed title, as T-Series growth had not stopped.
Jimmy also made a tweet responding to PewDiePie saying It was an honor fighting by your side, which Jimmy gives up and can no longer help PewDiePie further, possibly to prevent lack of PewDiePie videos from Jimmy, as it can get weaker along the way.
On February 3, Jimmy and his affiliates made plans to try and advertise fellow YouTuber PewDiePie’s channel while attending Super Bowl LIII .
To do so, Jimmy bought seats next to one of the end zones, with him and his affiliates wearing shirts ultimately spelling out “SUB 2 PEWDIEPIE” to be seen during one of the field goals.
![Mr Beast Height Mr beast Height](https://bigbiography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/mr-beast-and-pew-die-pie-controversy-google-search-64941e9ab0cc2.webp)
The attempt was broadcasted on live television, with approximately 110 million viewers watching the game. ESPN later tweeted a picture of one of the field goals, subsequently featuring Jimmy’s ad.
Afterward, PewDiePie’s growth grew from 50,000 subscribers to 277,000 subscribers in a single day.
The Failed Crypto Investment
In April 20121 Donaldson received backlash after fans lost large amounts of money in a cryptocurrency scheme that Donaldson had invested in and promoted.
Curing 1,000 people’s blindness
In a tweet posted January 15, Donaldson said he was planning to release something that would be “nothing like” his older posts. The result was a video in which he said he would be “curing 1,000 people’s blindness.”
While Donaldson’s cataract surgery video was highly popular among some viewers, who praised the YouTuber for his generosity.
It also sparked a wave of backlash, as some people wrote that they thought we should not be turning to wealthy influencers to fix widespread societal problems like the cost of healthcare.
Others accused Donaldson of paying for the surgeries as a way of gaining online clout and producing popular content.
They went as far as to term Jimmy the “Anti-Christ” for trying to profit from people who suffer from serious disabilities.
The homophobic slurs
In 2018, The Atlantic, an American magazine and multi-platform publisher, explored allegations against Jimmy for using homophobic slurs on stream and in his videos.
The North Carolina native had a knack for using such terms in his content and often used the word “fag**t” while interacting with fans and haters alike on Twitter.
Apart from the casual usage of the f-slur, Jimmy often joked about homosexuality during his teenage years, with the word “gay” being used as a punchline or a gag.
On occasion, he even used the n-word while off-screen, as reported by Elijah Daniel on Twitter via a now-deleted tweet.

Squid Game Recreation
November 25, 2021, was an iconic day for Jimmy and his MrBeast channel. After actively dropping hints across his social media platforms, the YouTube mogul uploaded a recreation of Netflix’s cult classic, Squid Game.
However, after nearly dropping around $3.5 million for the video, Jimmy found himself in the crosshairs of a number of organizations and fellow content creators.
Fans of the South Korean drama came forward in droves to explain how MrBeast had completely missed the point of the show and his re-creation glorified wealth disparity instead of addressing it.
The Clubhouse Controversy
MrBeast was yet again at the centre of controversy in February 2021 after a voice recording of him went viral for removing a person from his Clubhouse room. The session in question featured the YouTuber and several other influencers.
![Mr Beast Height Mr beast Height](https://bigbiography.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/MrBeast-s-5-most-controversial-moments-of-all-time-1.png)
However, things took a turn for the worse when Jimmy allegedly kicked out a user after being unable to pronounce his name. The user was Faroukh Sarmad.
