MrBeast has been hit with allegations of racism and sexist behavior after old videos “before fame” resurfaced online.

The popular YouTuber, who earlier this year became the most subscribed channel with over 300 million followers, is facing his own allegations after parting ways with co-host.

Ava Kris Tyson was a regular on the MrBeast channel but announced she was taking a step back to focus on “family and mental health” after grooming allegations were made against her.

Tyson denied these claims in a statement where she said: “I would like to apologize for any of my past behaviour or comments if it hurt or offended anyone. It was not my intent.

“I never groomed anyone. The person who gets brought up in these accusations has vocally supported that they are false.

“Having said that, I humbly apologise to anyone I have hurt with my unacceptable social media posts, past actions, and to those who may feel betrayed by how I used to act online.”

At the time, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, took to X, to state that: “Over the last few days, I've become aware of the serious allegations of Ava Tyson's behavior online and I am disgusted and opposed to such unacceptable acts.”

The YouTuber went on to add that he has been “focused on hiring an independent third party to conduct a thorough investigation to ensure I have all the facts”.

Now, Donaldson is facing allegations of sexism and racism after old videos of him resurfaced online.

In a now-unlisted video, Jimmy Donaldson is quoted as reading out messages from fans, saying: “Selling n-word for $400 money”, before he added: “The most I would pay is like 300. Sorry 400 is just out of my price range for that type of stuff.”

He then goes on to read out: “Selling 10 n***** for $69 each,” before adding: “That’s a steep price. I don’t think you’re going to get any sales. I’m kidding.”

Another clip that has sparked controversy is from an appearance he made on the Hot Wet Soup podcast in 2017.

Talking about then 14-year-old Bhad Bhabie, Donaldson asked the host, Keemstar: “Let’s be real, you wouldn’t put your d**k in her?”

When Keemstar replied that he would not, Donaldson said: “I was hoping you’d say yes. Yeah, I wouldn’t either. She’s way too young.”

LADbible Group has reached out to MrBeast for a comment.
