MrBeast and Lee had been going back and forth on social media for a while now. However, it was all in good spirits. MrBeast wanted Lee to taste and review his own line of chocolates. Lee, agreed to do so but put forward three of his own conditions, one of which included featuring his sister and his wife, both of whom are fans of the YouTuber, in one of his videos.

After a lot of exchanges between the two, Keith Lee and Mr Beast were finally seen together, earlier this year, in one of Lee’s TikTok videos. The two were seen helping out a family-owned restaurant in Las Vegas. The twist in the story came when MrBeast and Logan Paul were seen training together. Apparently, Paul was training MrBeast and Keith Lee saw this as a perfect opportunity and said he would gladly fight MrBeast in a boxing match.
