MrBeast has a name in the YouTube community that very few have been able to make for themselves. With each passing day, the million-dollar content creator is making more and more reputation for himself. But what occurs as a very family-friendly name, once was accused by his close colleague as a ‘Bully’.

Matt Turner, a name many might have heard of for several reasons, once accused the blue panther logo guy MrBeast of being a very bad boss. Although the accusations were very harsh, the result that transpired was not that satisfying either.

The conspiracy of Matt Turner’s beef with MrBeast

On October 9, 2019, Matt Turner, who used to be the editor for many of MrBeast’s pre-covid videos, shared a thread of tweets claiming that he was harassed by Jimmy Donaldson for not being able to edit videos as per his vision. He also claimed that MrBeast used to make him feel like an “absolute idiot, even if the content wasn’t real.”

This claim was so harsh that fans couldn’t believe the fact that their beloved YouTuber could do something like this. Thus, they started demanding a reply, an answer that would set this false alarm off. And so they did when MrBeast finally spoke about the matter with Keem Star over a phone call on October 9 itself. In the call, he can be heard saying that he’d given Turner a hefty $10,000 as severance as well as another job at SoaR Gaming.

Although this settled the roaring questions among fans about the beef, something was totally off. For starters, Matt’s Twitter account was hacked, when he left the group, and thus had to make his claims using a secondary account. What happened next was even odder, both parties got into a so-called “mutual understanding”, to end the beef. Later, all the official videos uploaded by the original sources about the matter got deleted, including all the source tweets as well. This might look like a coincidence at best, but unfortunately, it doesn’t sound like one.

MrBeast’s creative vision

After all this, the question then arises, is MrBeast evil? It can be the case, but unfortunately, the answer is a straight ‘No’. Well, you see, in the line of content creation, relationships like these can take some sore turns. This is mostly because of the fact that the ‘creative vision’ for two people can be totally different from each other.

The same applies to a duo like MrBeast and Matt Turner. As MrBeast went on to become the King of content, it surely clarifies the fact that Turner might have not been capable of MrBeast’s vision of his videos, and thus might have lacked the necessary creative vision that MrBeast had for his videos.
