MrBeast canceled a charity work in a grocery store

So, the 24-year-old was supposed to visit that grocery store and pay for the groceries of people who came there to buy. And it was supposed to be a video for his YouTube channel, possibly his philanthropic channel – Beast Philanthropy.
Undoubtedly, it paints MrBeast badly for ditching out of a philanthropic act at the last moment. But the internet personality Keem Star later presented the truth. He shared the text message from the YouTube star explaining the situation and his reason for canceling the plan.
What is the truth behind this drama?
MrBeast revealed wanting to go there discretely to do “small acts of kindness for people who could use help.” He would have paid for some people’s groceries when they checked out. Further, he was supposed to shoot it and took permission from the Piggly Wiggly manager for it. But the Piggly Wiggly employees advertised his coming for more sales.

The YouTube star said, “They decided to spread the word far and wide that I was coming to buy out the store. People were saying that the employees were telling them the day before to come the next day to get free stuff from MrBeast (which we were not aware of and asked them not to tell anyone). Basically, the employees lied to people.”
