YouTuber Mr Beast has hinted at a potential collaboration with Lionel Messi to maintain his lead as Cristiano Ronaldo’s rapidly growing presence on YouTube has sparked concern for internet sensation MrBeast.
“I broke the world record for most subs in a month, and two months later, Ronaldo comes on… If anyone could pass me, it would be Ronaldo,” he admitted.
