Jake Paul left MrBeast feeling weird in this silly prank
The 24-year-old YouTuber used to post various types of videos on his channel that included challenges, musical skits, pranks, and more. In the above video, he flew out to visit and knock on the door of American YouTuber, Jimmy Donaldson, AKA MrBeast, without being invited.

In the aforementioned clip, fans can clearly see how MrBeast reacted to the awkward prank. The young YouTuber didn’t really know how to react at the moment, as he really wasn’t expecting Jake. Being the good guy and genuine PewDiePie supporter he is, he immediately used the opportunity to call out Jake’s viewers and asked them to subscribe to Pewd’s channel.
The video was shot in 2019, during the infamous war between Indian music corporation, T-Series, and Swedish YouTuber PewDiePie over crossing the 100 million mark first.
Sadly, the war did not end in the favor of the Swedish YouTuber, but MrBeast and Jake have definitely turned their careers around. Jake has found his new passion, boxing, and has had back-to-back victories over former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.

However, the boxing and the MMA community still continue to critique him for not taking on a professional boxer. MMA fighters train in various disciplines instead of focusing on just one aspect. This is why it is quite important for Jake to face a fellow boxer who is also rising up through the ranks and is of the same age group. This would be a true test that would put his skills on display and silence the naysayers once and for all.
