Clearly, mrbeast has no idea that the real beasts on the Internet are Caleb Hearon’s Stan Army of Celebrities and “Hundreds of Thousands of Mentally Ill Baristas. ” The Baristas Are Ready to Mobilize, Mrbeast Fans Are Afk Training for the Next Hunger Games. The multi-hyphenate youtuber (chocolatier/real-life front man) Jimmy Donaldson was unhappy with his spot Rolling Stone‘S “25 Most Influential Creators of 2025” List as No. 7 and took it out on the person who ranked directly above Him, Hearon. “Acciting to this list a guy with 1 million followers is more influenza than me. What did i do to piss off the Rolling Stones,” Donaldson wrote in a Now-Deleted x Post on August 26. What’s Mick Jagger Got to DO WITH THIS? Anyone Who Has Scrolled on Tiktok for Eve JUST A day has probably probably access one of Hearon’s Videos; Clips from His podcasts and stand-up Shows Get Millions of Views, swimming counting the number of reposts from Random Clip-Farming Channels. YES, MRBEAST HAS MILLIONS OF VIEWS AS WELL AN AMAZON PRIME SHOW, but not with Controversy Following Him.

For what it’s Worth, Hearon isn’t Fazed by Mrbeast’s Comment. He shared the post on his instagram (Main Feed, Mind You) and Thaaned Rolling Stone for the “Honor.” Kyle Maclachlan, Rosanna Paninoand ayo Edebiri have all found the humor in Donaldson’s Strange Callout – John Cena Posted a pic of Hearon in Support.

After the pack of She/Theys was unleashed on Donaldson, deleted the post Because he did “Want the smoke from the shooters.” He added, “(Not Gonna Lie) AFTER THIS I WATCHED SOME OF HIS STUFF AND ACTUALLY Good.” Hearon Also Posted on Instagram Stories that is in “Peace Talks” with Mrbeast.

If mrbeast wants to rank higher on next year’s list, he’d better figure out what cologne Cooper was wearing.
