Mr Beast is willing to seek Lionel Messi's support to remain the highest subscribed channel amidst Ronaldo's sudden rise

YouTube sensation Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has made it crystal clear that he will not allow Cristiano Ronaldo to surpass his subscriber count without a challenge. With Ronaldo's swift ascent on the platform, MrBeast is gearing up for a potential showdown as the football icon gains momentum as a top contender for the leading position on YouTube.

MrBeast, the current highest-subscribed YouTube content creator, has held the title since June 1, 2024, when he surpassed the Indian music channel T-Series. However, Ronaldo’s recent foray into YouTube has sparked a new rivalry.

Ronaldo's foray into YouTube has sparked a new rivalry. The soccer icon joined the platform on August 21, 2024, and has already amassed an incredible 63 million subscribers, breaking the record for the fastest-growing channel in a single month — a former record of Mr Beast.

On October 2, 2024, MrBeast appeared on Logan Paul's podcast with YouTube personality KSI, where the trio discussed various topics, including the swift success of Ronaldo's YouTube channel. The discussion revolved around Ronaldo's potential to surpass MrBeast, with Jimmy acknowledging the soccer superstar as a genuine threat.

Mr. Beast mentioned that he broke the world record for the most subs in a month, and two months later, Ronaldo surpassed his records. He acknowledged Ronaldo’s remarkable rise and described him as "crushing" the platform, comparing him to a real-life Mr. Rizz due to his charm and appeal to millions of fans. Mr. Beast even admitted that if anyone were to surpass him on YouTube, it would likely be Ronaldo.

Mr Beast seeks Messi's assist 

Despite recognizing Ronaldo’s success, Mr. Beast emphasized that he is not willing to give up his top spot without a battle. In a lighthearted yet determined manner, Jimmy expressed his readiness to do whatever it takes to maintain his lead, even joking that he would consider collaborating with Ronaldo’s football rival, Lionel Messi, if necessary.

"If I’ve got to do a Messi collab to fight Ronaldo, I’ll do it," he said.

With over 318 million subscribers, MrBeast continues to hold the title of the most-subscribed person on the platform, despite experiencing a slight decline in numbers due to ongoing controversies.

While Ronaldo's remarkable growth on YouTube is undeniable, it remains to be seen whether he can sustain this momentum and become a significant competitor to MrBeast. With his immense popularity and dedicated fanbase, Ronaldo has rapidly emerged as a formidable force, but Jimmy is prepared for the challenge.

The competition between these two global superstars is bound to be thrilling.
