YouTuber Ludwig Anders Ahgren has spoken out regarding the controversy surrounding MrBeast, urging the well-known content creator to address the serious allegations against him. 

Having worked together on multiple occasions, including the recent $1 million YouTuber challenge, Ludwig expressed his unease with the situation, stating that he can no longer support MrBeast unless these issues are properly addressed.

In a video posted to his second channel, Ahgren shared that while he typically avoids covering drama, he felt it was important to speak out due to his past collaborations with MrBeast. “I think Jimmy needs to make a reply,” Ludwig said, using MrBeast’s real name. “He could probably continue to upload videos without ever replying and continue to get hundreds of millions of views. But I won’t support him in any way, shape, or form if that’s what he does.”

Ludwig highlighted several allegations that MrBeast must confront, including the employment of a registered sex offender and reports of poor working conditions on his video sets. He also referred to a potential third video from Dogpack, which is expected to bring even more serious accusations to light.

Ludwig also disclosed that he had pulled out of a sponsorship deal with MrBeast’s Feastables company for his Ludwig Streamer Games, citing the unresolved controversy as the reason. “I called him and said two things: ‘When are you going to reply?’ and ‘Let me pull out [of the deal].’” Although this decision reportedly cost him around $100,000, Ludwig believed it was the right move to align with his values.

At the time of writing, MrBeast has yet to respond to the allegations, and the third video from Dogpack has not been released. Ludwig did not clarify what kind of response he would require from MrBeast before considering future collaborations.
