Among the tactics employed by these creators, the use of fake tweets and false information in MrBeast’s name stands out. Some of them stoop to the lowest levels, claiming that Jimmy is afflicted by a severe illness that is gradually consuming him, with limited time left to live.
Despite repeated dismissals of these baseless claims, Jimmy has urged his fans not to pay much attention to such creators. However, a recent incident pushed him to take matters into his own hands. It all started when a YouTuber propagated a fake tweet stating that Jimmy had only three years to live.
In response, Jimmy employed his signature sarcasm on Twitter, stating, “Thank god for this YouTube video or I wouldn’t have known I’m dying in three years” Nevertheless, he made it abundantly clear that he will no longer tolerate such behavior. He expressed his frustration, pleading, “Can we end the trend of photoshopping fake tweets of mine as thumbnails? Thx”
