Mr Beast becomes the most subscribed Youtuber, surpassing T Series and Cocomelon

MrBeast's subscriber count has soared to 266 million, making his channel the most subscribed on the platform and surpassing the Indian music label T-Series.

On June 2, the 26-year-old YouTuber, James Stephen “Jimmy” Donaldson, known as MrBeast, shared the milestone on social media.

In celebration of the achievement, MrBeast wrote on X: “After 6 years we have finally avenged PewDiePie.”

His tweet recognized a milestone that Swedish creator PewDiePie couldn't reach: surpassing T-Series to become YouTube's most-subscribed channel.

Earlier this week, MrBeast discussed his endeavors to support PewDiePie during his subscriber rivalry with T-Series in 2018.

During an interview with Jon Youshaei, MrBeast remarked: “I got a little ‘this country versus that country’. I don't think Felix took it there, but it even got a little racist in the sub war before. So I’m very cognizant of it, which is why I’m not leaning into it too hard.”

He expanded on his worry that this accomplishment could incite a debate pitting India against America.

“I just want to be the most subscribed-to channel. Yes, I have a lot of people helping me, but at the end of the day, I started this channel. I live and breathe this. I am a creator,” he stated.

“I do think it’s nice, a bit of symbolism that a creator is the most subscribed-to channel. Not knocking [T-Series], but they are a corporation with probably a thousand times more employees than me.”
