MrBeast teases Messi collab after Ronaldo’s YouTube channel threatens top spot

The Portuguese footballer launched his YouTube channel in August after dominating other social media platforms.

MrBeast has hinted at a potential collaboration with Lionel Messi to maintain his lead as Cristiano Ronaldo's rapidly growing presence on YouTube has sparked concern for internet sensation MrBeast.

MrBeast, expressed his unease about Ronaldo surpassing his subscriber count during an appearance on Logan Paul's IMPAULSIVE podcast. MrBeast said he wouldn't let the five-time Ballon d'Or winner take his title without a fight.

"I broke the world record for most subs in a month, and two months later, Ronaldo comes on... If anyone could pass me, it would be Ronaldo," he admitted.

To counter Ronaldo's influence, the 26-year-old YouTuber joked about collaborating with Argentine football star Lionel Messi. "I’m not going down without a fight. I mean, Messi, let’s go! If Messi’s the only thing standing between Ronaldo passing me... I’ll do a Messi collab," MrBeast said.

Ronaldo launched his YouTube channel in August after dominating other social media platforms. His channel, UR Cristiano, has already amassed 63.9 million subscribers, including breaking the record for reaching 10 million subscribers the fastest.

Meanwhile, MrBeast, who has been on YouTube for 11 years, boasts 318 million subscribers.
