MrBeast has long been known as one of the most popular and influential content creators in the world. From his elaborate sets and challenges to superstar collaborations, the man does it all. However, the social media star has always reiterated that he would not be able to accomplish any of it without his team.
For those unaware, MrBeast’s team includes him, Chris Tyson, Karl Jacobs, Chandler Hallow, Nolan Hanson, and cameraman Tareq Salameh. Notably, Nolan and Tareq, being the newer additions, put in more work behind the camera, rather than in front of it. Thus, the crew is very tight-knit and is pretty close to each other off-camera as well.
The Karl effect while it lasted was funny to me bc (even tho Karl is a great friend) y’all think he’s my type 😭🤣
I’m into way taller than me, ripped, and quiet.
Every time I had to see someone talk about me and Karl dating I was like, ohhh they just don’t have any clue lmaoo

Moreover, two members in particular, Chris Tyson and Karl Jacobs have been getting too close, according to some fans. Previously, there was a lot of hate toward Karl, presumably for him being a bad influence on other members, and for his effeminate and LQBTQ+-orientated behaviors. However, Chris, who is going through gender-affirming HRT, has slammed the claims. Previously a married man, Chris has split from his wife and undergone a massive transformation in recent months.
Thus, the credibility of the entire squad has been questioned from time to time. Previously, many assumed that MrBeast himself was pansexual, due to fan rumors. Although it has never been proven, it still remains widely discussed along with Chris’ transformation and the Karl Effect. Moreover, the effect itself remains a much-debated thing, with different parts of the fanbase highlighting its positive and negative effects.
What does MrBeast think about the Karl Effect?
As for Jimmy, he has largely been unbothered by all the rumors online. As mentioned previously, the popular social media star refused to comment on any of the rumors about him. However, he has come out in defense of his friend Chris’ recent transformation, condemning those who think that he is a bad apple.
Similarly, Jimmy is likely aware of the long-running Karl Effect and why people think that he is a bad influence on the rest of the members. Although he has never openly commented on it, he did make a little quip, indicating that he is aware of the happenings of MrBeast’s Wiki Fandom. Previously the Beast gang, KSI, and the Sidemen collaborated on a YouTube video.
During the “SIDEMEN VS MR BEAST $1,000,000 CHALLENGE” there was a challenge involving tricycles. Whilst Tobu and Josh were representing the Sidemen, Tareq, and Karl represented MrBeast’s team. During the challenge Karl was able to get the lead on Josh, effectively sealing the challenge in his team’s favor. Here, Jimmy could be heard saying, “Maybe Karl didn’t ruin Mr.Beast after all.”
At the time, many didn’t pay a lot of attention to the comment, but in the grand scheme of things, it truly makes sense. Currently, it remains MrBeast’s only comment on the matter, which was 5 months ago. For now, the team is likely focusing on creating more enjoyable content rather than focusing on outside noise.
