YouTube star MrBeast has urged a random man to change his name before he gets sued.
Known for his wacky and over-the-top challenges, and willingness to go to extreme lengths for the best content, MrBeast is the most-subscribed independent creator on YouTube, with the 25-year-old amassing a staggering 244 million subscribers to date.
Over the years, MrBeast has branched outside of just making YouTube videos after his unprecedented rise to stardom, venturing into the confectionary business with his chocolate bar company Feastables — which he struggles to keep on store shelves due to overwhelming demand.
Nevertheless, the YouTube star is now urging a random man to change his name before he faces legal troubles.
MrBeast urges man to change his name before being sued
On March 5, a man named “Deez-Nuts Kroll” was arrested by authorities in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and charged with battery.
MrBeast took the opportunity to poke some fun at his legal disputes with Flordia-based flavored peanut company ‘Dee’s Nuts’ — who sued the YouTube star for copyright infringement over his cleverly named ‘Deez Nuts’ peanut butter flavored chocolate bar.
The 25-year-old urged the apprehended man to change his name before the same company goes after him for copyright infringement too. “He should change his name before he gets sued,” the YouTube star wrote.
MrBeast lost the lawsuit with the Florida-based peanut company, as a federal judge ruled a permanent injunction between Dee’s Nuts and Feastables.
But, despite forcing the YouTuber to remove all ‘Deez Nutz’ branding from his chocolate bars, it’s fair to say his confectionary business is doing better than ever following a massive rebrand.
Feastables currently struggles with an overwhelming demand, constantly selling their entire stock in Walmart and Target stores across the US.
