It didn’t take long before MrBeast’s latest endeavor resulted in controversy, as social media trolls blasted the YouTuber for being disingenuous.
MrBeast addressed the backlash in a tweet, saying he thinks he’s “gonna get canceled” over the video.
“I already know I’m gonna get canceled because I uploaded a video helping people, and to be 100% clear, I don’t care,” he wrote. “I’m always going to use my channel to help people and try to inspire my audience to do the same.”
