MrBeast, the world’s most popular YouTuber, has disclosed that he has pre-planned content ready for his channel in the event of his unexpected death.
In September, YouTuber Nicholas Perry, also known as Nikocado Avocado, went viral for revealing that he had tricked the internet over two years by sharing pre-recorded videos while secretly undergoing a significant weight loss.
Now, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, shared on the Impaulsive podcast with KSI and Logan Paul that he has a similar plan in place in case of his death.
KSI asked Donaldson about Nikocado Avocado’s prank, saying, “I feel like that’s something you would do.” MrBeast quickly replied: “I did do that for when I die,” and added, “I have a bunch of videos pre-filmed so my channel can keep uploading.”
He further explained that he has about 15 pre-recorded videos, which his team knows how to access and can release after his death. The 26-year-old revealed, “Certain people in my company know where to find these videos on my old computer.”
However, he admitted that the videos might not meet the quality of his current productions. “They’re like, pretty garbage videos. One of them is me sitting at a table opening old fan mail.”
In these videos, Donaldson tells viewers, “I’m probably in a coffin right now just chilling, don’t feel bad for me, I’m dead.”
His plan involves releasing one video titled ‘My Last Video,’ followed by a new video each month to create the illusion that he is still alive.
Beyond his YouTube content, MrBeast is currently dealing with controversies linked to his upcoming Amazon Prime game show, Beast Games, which has yet to announce its premiere date.
In September, five individuals filed a lawsuit against the internet star, claiming that contestants on the show, which reportedly has a $100 million ($76 million) budget, faced chronic mistreatment and neglect during filming.
