Amidst Ben Shapiro‘s warning for his YouTube channel, it is being shown that MrBeast has unfollowed his friend Chris Tyson on Instagram. A Twitter account that goes by the username @ykkswb revealed that MrBeast has unfollowed Chris. He has searched the term “Chris” in MrBeast’s following and Chris Tyson’s name does not show up.

Has MrBeast taken this step due to the warning given to him by Shapiro? Shapiro said that dislikes for MrBeast’s videos are increasing due to the change in dynamics of his videos. The dynamics have changed due to Chris’s transition. He is going through HRT.
Here is how Shapiro warned MrBeast, also called Jimmy Donaldson: “You can see that in the number of dislikes that have been racking up on MrBeast’s YouTube page. So MrBeast had to make the choice until the choice that he chose is, of course, the woke choice. He tweeted out, ‘yeah this is getting absurd. Chris isn’t my nightmare he’s my friend and things are fine all this transphobia is starting to piss me off.'”
Shapiro was referring to the decision that MrBeast had to take. As Chris went through HRT, Shapiro inferred that if MrBeast did not make the woke choice of accepting Chris, MrBeast might get ‘canceled’. People might start to avoid watching his videos. On the other hand, he also explains how people still might stop watching his videos.
“Well, I do not feel as though my kids should be exposed to a man who believes that he is a woman on YouTube. Until they are of age to understand exactly what is going on. A lot of other parents are going to have that same exact question.”
However, it seems like MrBeast did not unfollow Chris after all. It was a false alarm.
MrBeast did not unfollow Chris Tyson on Instagram
On the tweet by @ykkswb, it was revealed that MrBeast in fact still follows Chris Tyson. The information shown in the tweet was false. Here is the warning message from Twitter that was shown with the tweet: “MrBeast is still following Chris Tyson on Instagram. Post contains misleading information about their partnership.”
In a tweet under the thread, the owner of the post themselves explained what could have been the issue. The owner wrote, “nah i found out he was shadowbanned after posting this so if u don’t follow him you can’t see him in the following.”

Apparently, if you do not follow Chris on Instagram, you cannot see if he is being followed by other people. This created the misinformation that MrBeast unfollowed Chris Tyson.
