Did IShowSpeed Try to Steal $100K in Front of MrBeast? Here’s What Happened

YouTuber Darren Jason Watkins Jr., famously known as IShowSpeed, has ignited the internet with his recent team-up with James Stephen “Jimmy” Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, in an exhilarating $100,000 Wipeout challenge. This remarkable event saw the digital superstars go head-to-head with none other than professional boxer Olajide, widely recognised as KSI.

Yet, amidst the high-octane competition, a dramatic moment from the livestream captivated viewers globally. At the 45-minute mark, MrBeast, renowned for his grand challenges and philanthropic acts, found himself in a heated exchange with IShowSpeed.

The tension flared when MrBeast critiqued one of IShowSpeed’s stunts and requested a redo. Taken aback, the 19-year-old streamer, famous for his bold antics, sought a gesture of goodwill—a handshake from MrBeast. However, his sly attempt to touch the $100,000 prize briefcase didn’t go unnoticed by MrBeast.

In a moment that quickly went viral, MrBeast sternly warned IShowSpeed, suggesting he wouldn’t hesitate to involve law enforcement if the young streamer attempted to run off with the money.

“You would call the cops on me, Beast? You’re going to call the cops on me?!” IShowSpeed asked. MrBeast’s firm response was, “For stealing, yes!”

Unfazed, IShowSpeed continued to taunt MrBeast, challenging him with remarks about his alleged fear and lack of preparedness. “Yo, MrBeast never got robbed,” IShowSpeed exclaimed, stoking the fiery exchange. “He’s not ready for it, man. You know, I could easily just do that and just run away and you wouldn’t catch [me].”

The interaction, a blend of jest and tension, left viewers engaged and ignited a flurry of reactions across social media. “LOCK THAT THUG UP,” wrote one viewer. Another observed, “You can lowkey tell mr. beast doesn’t like speed like that fr.”

Meanwhile, in another monumental achievement, MrBeast has surpassed T-Series to become the largest YouTube channel. This victory ended T-Series’ five-year reign, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing battle for YouTube supremacy.
