MrBeast sent the internet into a frenzy on Wednesday, April 1, following his announcement to leave YouTube.
Speaking to X (formerly known as Twitter), he wrote: “I’m deleting my YouTube channel. »
The YouTube sensation, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, uploaded a video and posted several social media posts saying he was taking a break from the site that catapulted him to global stardom.
The announcement immediately went viral, with fans reacting in shock and disbelief on various social media platforms.
The news sparked widespread speculation among fans, who wondered whether the young designer, who is just 27 years old, currently has over 300 million subscribers and is famous for his lavish stunts and philanthropic gifts, would be willing to give up his empire.
However, the release coincides with April Fool’s Day. In recent years, MrBeast has pulled similar pranks on April Fool’s Day. Previously, he used April Fool’s Day to tease fake projects, merchandise drops and collaborations.
Although some fans were relieved that this wasn’t true, others criticized the prank for creating undue concern among his large number of fans. Nonetheless, this prank was effective in taking over social media conversations on April Fool’s Day.
