Chris Tyson has finally opened up about rumors of him being fired from the team of MrBeast. Chris, who appears in MrBeast’s videos and is part of the core team, was rumored to have been fired from the team. These rumors gained pace after Chris revealed his transition.
Fans were speculating about what happened to Chris after his appearance had a drastic change. In April, Chris informed fans that he is going through HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy). He even advocated the use of HRT and said it saved his life. He received backlash as well as support from fans.
American political commentator Ben Shapiro gave his opinion on how this could affect MrBeast’s popularity. Shapiro controversially said that parents would not want their kids to watch someone like Tyson. This would in turn decrease MrBeast’s viewership. Rumors of a conflict between MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, and Chris started. It also led to fans speculating if Chris was actually fired. However, the two made no direct statements about it until a while ago.

Chris opened up about this rumor and squashed it completely. When asked about it on an AMA (Ask Me Anything), he said, “Nope! I pretty much told Jimmy, just because I want to spend time with Tucker and he’s traveling a lot, I’m just going to come and go as I please.
And I went to… I don’t know if I want to say if I went to Mexico. I went to Mexico, and then I came back.”
On the other hand, Shapiro’s warning was a failure. MrBeast’s YouTube channel continues to see an increase in subscribers every day.

MrBeast has supported Chris Tyson all the way through his HRT journey. Chris stated that he would come and go as he pleases for the YouTube videos, considering that Jimmy understood the situation and accepted the conditions put forward by Chris, it shows that Jimmy is very supportive of his friends.
On another occasion, he took Chris’ side on Twitter. A YouTube account named ‘SunnyV2’ made a video called ‘Why Chris will soon be a nightmare for MrBeast’. This was much like the warning given by Shapiro. However, Jimmy responded to this with the utmost support for his friend.
Yeah, this is getting absurd. Chris isn’t my “nightmare” he’s my fucken friend and things are fine. All this transphobia is starting to piss me off

Jimmy responded, “Yeah, this is getting absurd. Chris isn’t my ‘nightmare’ he’s my f**ken friend and things are fine. All this transphobia is starting to p**s me off.”
Jimmy was recently spotted in Japan finally meeting PewDiePie. Fans are hoping that the two would create a collaboration. On the other hand, Chris was also in Japan posting pictures with F1NN5TER, who fans think is Chris’ new love interest.
