It would be smart not to mess with one of the most beloved gay men on the internet \u2014 especially if you’re a controversial figure yourself. MrBeast<\/a> learned that the hard way after he shared a since-deleted post on X, calling out Rolling Stone<\/em> (it’s unclear whether he was being serious or facetious) about his placement on their annual list of most influential creators<\/a>.<\/p>\n MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson<\/a> and is at number seven on the list, took a screenshot of comedian Caleb Hearon’s<\/a> number six spot on the list and wrote, “According to this list, a guy with 1 million followers is more influential than me. What did I do to piss off the Rolling Stones?”<\/p>\n Immediately after the post was uploaded, Donaldson\u2014the YouTuber with the most subscribers in the world\u2014was met with a barrage of responses that defending the comedian. One of Donaldson’s most vocal critics, YouTuber Rosanna Pansino<\/a> responded to his post and wrote, “MrBeast’s mask slipping this much in less than a year has been fascinating to watch. Sorry Jimmy, Caleb has something you’ll never have: A personalty.”<\/p>\n Donaldson’s post was very unpopular on X, so much so that he ended up deleting it and walking back his statement saying, “Ngl after this I watched some of his stuff and it\u2019s actually good. I deleted the tweet I don\u2019t want the smoke from the shooters, spare me plz.”<\/p>\n
