MrBeast is reportedly contacting YouTube commentary channels and asking them to react to Soggy Cereal

Pyrocynical says MrBeast asked him to check out Soggy Cereal's video about DogPack404 controversy

Commentary YouTuber Pyrocynical has claimed on his recent livestream that Jimmy "MrBeast" messaged him on X, asking him to check out Soggy Cereal's video about the controversy surrounding DogPack404. Other content creators have also alleged that Jimmy contacted them about the same thing.

For context, Jimmy praised Soggy Cereal's YouTube video The Truth About MrBeast & Dogpack404 in a comment that was criticized by many online. In his comment, MrBeast appeared to claim that most other videos covering the allegations made against him by his ex-employee DogPack404 were "baseless slander."

It has now been alleged that MrBeast has contacted other YouTubers, such as Pyrocynical, who discussed the allegations in their videos. Jimmy has allegedly asked them to check Soggy Cereal's video, seemingly attempting to undermine the accusations that DogPack404 made against him.

In his latest livestream, Pyrocynical claimed that MrBeast had sent him a couple of DMs on X and proceeded to read them aloud before showing them to the camera as proof. During his livestream dated November 18, Pyrocynical states at the 18:52 mark:

"He [Jimmy] basically linked me this Soggy video. He basically said, 'There has been a lot of disinformation about me these past few months and I feel Soggy did a good job hitting a lot of it with facts. Would love it if you covered it.' That's him basically saying that."

When Pyrocynical asked MrBeast if he could show the DMs asking him to cover Soggy Cereal's video, the latter replied that he would rather the messages stayed private but noted that Pyrocynical was free to show them:

"I basically said to him, 'I will probably stream my reaction to it tomorrow. Do I have your permission to show this DM conversation of you asking me to check it out on stream?' He said, 'I'd rather not, but if you feel it necessary it's up to you. Appreciate you covering it.'"

Viewers say Soggy Cereal's video about DogPack404 is "biased" towards MrBeast after Pyrocynical and YouTubers claim Jimmy contacted them

For those unaware, DogPack404 is a former employee of MrBeast's and went viral earlier this year after accusing the popular YouTuber of fabricating videos and engaging in illegal lotteries, among other things. He has also collaborated with other relevant individuals, such as Jack Weddle, who claimed Jimmy's team had to let go of an employee for sexually harassing "young people."

Additionally, DogPack404 teamed up with YouTuber Rosanna Pansino and has appeared on her channel criticizing MrBeast and his brand of various things. The two made a splash in October when they released chat logs from an alleged work group associated with Jimmy, claiming Ava Kris Tyson had sent pedophilic messages.

Meanwhile, Soggy Cereal's video has been widely regarded by many as being defensive of MrBeast since it appears to criticize DogPack404. Thus, the news of YouTubers like Pyrocynical being asked by Jimmy to react to it has garnered criticism. A post from another YouTuber, Dylan Zitkus, indicating that they'd been contacted by MrBeast has also gone viral on the r/youtubedrama subreddit.

In an Instagram reel, Dylan showed the DMs Jimmy had allegedly sent him, which were similar to those seen in Pyrocynical's livestream. The post has ruffled some feathers, with Redditors calling out MrBeast. Some have even accused Soggy Cereal's video of being "biased," claiming that MrBeast had something to do with it.

"Assuming it’s true, although I’m skeptical, this just confirms that soggy's video is paid or/and incredibly biased. Jimmy would never do that if he didn’t see the vid as really beneficial to him. We already know that since Soggy was paid for his flight." wrote @MotivationSpeaker69 on r/youtubedrama.

Another Redditor claimed that the whole situation was "sketchy":

"Since this has been corroborated by pyrocynical, I'm inclined to believe that Mr. Beast (or at least someone running his social media) is actually doing this. And... I don't know why he thinks that's a good idea? I'm coming in from an outside perspective - I don't know much beyond "lol Lunchly has mold, Mr. Beast hangs out with losers, he was involved in cringe crypto (possible) scams". And this whole video seems super sketchy to me." said @Verona_Swift.

Readers should note that MrBeast has allegedly taken legal action against DogPack404, supposedly claiming the latter's accusations to be defamatory in nature.
