Mr Beast eyes Messi collaboration amid Ronaldo’s rising YouTube popularity

YouTube sensation Mr Beast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, has expressed concern that Cristiano Ronaldo's popularity on the platform might threaten his title as the most-subscribed personality.

During an appearance on Logan Paul's IMPAULSIVE podcast, MrBeast confessed that he will not let Ronaldo surpass his record without a fight.

Ronaldo, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, launched his YouTube channel in August and has since shattered records, becoming the fastest to reach 10 million subscribers. 

His channel, UR Cristiano, has amassed an impressive 63.9 million subscribers in a short period.

In contrast, MrBeast has built a massive following of 318 million subscribers over 11 years. Despite his major lead, MrBeast recognised Ronaldo's potential to surpass him, stating, "If there were someone who would pass me, it would be Ronaldo."

Determined not to relinquish his top spot without a fight, MrBeast proposed an unlikely collaboration with Lionel Messi, Ronaldo's longtime rival. 

"I'm not going down without a fight... If Messi's the only thing standing between Ronaldo passing me, I mean, if I got to do a Messi collab," he declared.
