It is no secret that MrBeast has earned his respect in the industry. After all, he holds multiple YouTube records, placing himself in the category of elites. But there was a time when Jimmy wanted to join a gaming organization as a support for his ongoing struggles. However, the clan owner did not give him the green signal, despite Jimmy showing sheer interest. 

Years passed by, and MrBeast soon became an internet sensation, catering to millions of fans daily. This is when it hit the clan owner, who quickly understood his massive blunder. Ironically, he also spoke about it in a 2021 podcast, claiming how big of a fan MrBeast was.

However, the clan owner, FaZe Banks, believed little in the YouTuber as he failed to sign him, twice. Here’s what Banks said in a 2021 podcast, “My biggest f**k up, the biggest misstep of all time. I still just know that it wouldn’t have ever worked long-term when me and Rice originally started this clout gang I missed on him twice. MrBeast was the biggest FaZe fan, but dude, what can you do like, yeah, that five years ago type video he was a huge FaZe fan would have joined faze in a second and wanted to be a part of FaZe.”

Apart from this, Banks also revealed that Jimmy was a part of the clout house for a few days. Interestingly, the organization had also considered him an option for the next recruitment as he uploaded Call Of Duty content at the time. However, because of unknown reasons, they never picked up the card from their table.
