MrBeast Beats T-Series as Most Subscribed YouTube Channel

Jimmy Donaldson, better known by his YouTube moniker "MrBeast," has officially been hailed as the most subscribed channel on the platform, topping India's largest music label, T-Series. 

The YouTuber, known for his grand-scale challenge videos, announced the big feat in a post on X, surpassing T-Series by over a thousand subscribers as of that moment.

To make light of the matter, Mr.Beast posted a meme on X, indicating that T-Series would not hand the title without picking a fight.

Beyond his YouTube career, the 26-year-old star has also ventured into the food and beverage business with a partnership with Zaxby's to launch the new formula of his chocolate bar brand Feastables.

Avenging PewDiePie

Back in 2019, the title of most subscribed YouTube channel belonged to Felix Kjellberg, more popularly known as "Pewdiepie."

He held the title for six years since August 2013.

However, it was also in that same year when he was dethroned by the Indian music giant, which prompted him to wage a months-long war against the T-Series channel.

Pewdiepie eventually conceded with a "Congratulations" video. 

MrBeast was a staunch supporter of Kjellberg's channel, going as far as campaigning for him to keep his top spot, even sporting "SUB 2 PEW DIE PIE" shirts with his friends in the 2019 Super Bowl.
