MrBeast’s friend Majd gains 100k YouTube subscribers and 1.4M views after viral weight loss challenge video

Content creator Majd has experienced a rapid rise in popularity after appearing in MrBeast’s latest viral video, earning over 1.4 million views on his debut YouTube upload and surpassing 100,000 subscribers within just a few days. As reported by Dexerto, the surge in visibility followed the June 21 release of MrBeast’s video, which challenged Majd to remain within a designated area until he lost 100 pounds. While the original reward was set at $250,000, Majd ultimately received more than $400,000 after reaching his goal.

His first upload, a reaction video dedicated to his late fitness coach Tyler Wall—who passed away during the challenge—quickly gained traction. Starting with only a few hundred subscribers, Majd’s channel grew to over 119,000 in less than three days.

Majd’s momentum wasn’t limited to YouTube. His Instagram account, launched in early June, has already grown to more than 260,000 followers. On TikTok, he has surpassed 170,000 followers and recently addressed the rise of fake accounts impersonating him due to his newfound fame.

Meanwhile, MrBeast’s original video is performing exceptionally well. According to Viewstats, the challenge video has already crossed 130 million views in just five days, making it one of MrBeast’s most successful uploads of 2025 so far. By comparison, his video exploring the pyramids in Egypt has reached just over 200 million views over the past four months.

Majd’s breakout moment highlights the immense influence of a MrBeast appearance—demonstrating how one feature can instantly launch a new creator into viral success across multiple platforms.
