MrBeast has faced many controversies before, but none as serious as his current legal dispute. The YouTube star is being sued by his own burger company, Virtual Dining Concepts, for $100 million over breach of contract and defamation. The company claims that MrBeast sabotaged the quality and reputation of MrBeast Burger, which operates through a network of ghost kitchens across the US.

However, MrBeast seems to be unbothered by the legal dispute and is already planning his next big project that could be even bigger than his Squid Game recreation, which broke YouTube records and garnered over 176 million views. In an interview with fellow YouTuber Marques Brownlee, MrBeast revealed that he has a passion project that he wants to make, but he can’t disclose any details because he would have to “kill” anyone who knows.
The conversation was completely censored, leaving fans in suspense and curiosity about what MrBeast has in store for the future. He hinted that it would be an “instant viral hit” and “bigger than Squid Game”, although the production timeline could be a long one, as he stated he would have to film the project over the course of six months or more.
MrBeast’s Next Ambitious Project With Sidemen
MrBeast also teased a collaboration with British YouTube group Sidemen, inviting them to America to film something that could easily break the internet. The group has three primary YouTube channels, as well as individual YouTube channels for each of its members, all of which have millions of subscribers. The Sidemen YouTube account, where all seven make popular content, posts its best videos every Sunday.
While it’s unclear if the two projects are related, there’s no doubt that MrBeast has a lot of surprises for his loyal fans. He is known for his extravagant videos that often cost millions of dollars to produce, such as recreating Squid Game in real life. He also has several other channels and businesses, including a snack brand called Feastables.
That’s right, he’s back 🎉 MrBeast will once again join us for the charity match ⚽️

MrBeast has not responded to VDC’s counter-lawsuit yet, but he seems to be focused on his philanthropic and creative endeavors instead of legal issues. He recently announced that he will be giving away $10 million to 10 random people who follow him on Twitter before December 25.
He has always been unpredictable with his actions so it’s quite hard to imagine what MrBeast will do next to top himself. Whatever it is, it’s sure to be epic and entertaining. As he said in his interview with Brownlee: “I just want to make cool stuff.”
