Popular YouTuber MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, recently joined streamers Adin Ross and xQc on a Kick livestream to raise funds for TeamWater. The trio pledged to stay on air until they reached a $5 million goal, and as of the latest update, the total had surpassed $3 million.

While the charity effort progressed, an unexpected moment between MrBeast and Ross caught viewers’ attention. During the August 14 broadcast, shortly after the group encountered fellow creator Matthew Beem, Ross placed his hand on MrBeast’s shoulder. MrBeast reacted immediately, asking, “What is with you, and touching me?” — making it clear in a playful tone that he preferred some personal space.

Ross tried to defuse the situation with humor, jokingly asking others nearby if they had “just farted.” MrBeast, however, returned to the topic moments later to set his boundary. “You take your hands, and keep ’em away from me,” he said, prompting Ross to agree.

Keeping the mood light, Ross then asked if he could still touch xQc, who responded by shaking his hand. The friendly banter continued throughout the stream, including a moment when Ross requested MrBeast to touch his hair — a request that was politely declined.

MrBeast had announced the event on August 12 via X (formerly Twitter), noting it would be his first Kick stream and emphasizing their ambitious $5 million target. “Hopefully it doesn’t take days,” he wrote, sharing the link to his Kick channel.

The lighthearted exchange added entertainment value to the ongoing broadcast while keeping focus on the shared goal — raising millions for TeamWater. The stream remained live as donations continued toward the final target.
