In a recent interview with YouTuber oompaville, Jimmy Donaldson (better known as MrBeast) has denied allegations of crypto trading and child slave labour, while also suggesting he’ll sue DogPack404 for defamation.
As pretty much everyone knows by now considering he’s one of the biggest and most well-known YouTubers and influencers out there, the last few months have been incredibly controversial for MrBeast. It all started with accusations that longtime employee and partner Ava Tyson had groomed a young fan, but things have steadily gotten worse from there.

Since then, Jimmy Donaldson has been accused of insider crypto trading, child slave labour in the production of Feastables, involvement in an illegal lottery and a whole lot more. A lot of these claims were started by YouTuber DogPack404 and, while MrBeast has remained silent throughout most of the controversies, he’s recently started responding.
MrBeast Has Responded To Many Of The Allegations Made Against Him
Last week, we reported that MrBeast thanked YouTuber Soggy Cereal for making a video tackling the accusations, but Donaldson has gone one step further and taken part in an interview with oompaville to directly address them. In the interview, Donaldson responds to many of the claims that have been made against him, such as the mould found in Lunchly, using charity for content, and a whole lot more.
The nearly three-hour-long video has oompaville and Donaldson tackling a lot of the controversies, with MrBeast denying and explaining all of them. On the topic of child slave labour, MrBeast responds by saying his products are all Fair Trade Certified, and when it comes to the recent crypto trading rumours, Donaldson says he’s “too stupid” to run that himself and that a professional is the only one with access to the wallet.
One of the biggest questions that oompaville has for MrBeast is whether or not he’s planning on suing DogPack404 for the lengthy video that raised many of the claims against him. In response, Donaldson reveals that he’s had partners pull out of deals and tell him that it’s because of the video, which he’s kept proof of in case he wants to make a case for damages.
Well, you know, there’s tons of examples of him intentionally manipulating things to not be true and posting it online, tons and tons and tons of that. I’ve literally had people pull out millions of dollars and then directly tell me it’s because of his videos. Don’t worry, I answered and was like ‘can you send that in writing’?. – Jimmy Donaldson
Donaldson finishes his thought on DogPack404 by saying that he doesn’t want to be put in the position to sue him, but that’s he’s probably going to “have to” after all the damage that has been done. MrBeast says he doesn’t take joy in the idea of doing it, but it seems like that’s the only outcome for the situation.
Some viewers of oompaville’s video have expressed annoyance in the interview and claimed that some topics, such as Donaldson working with Logan Paul, aren’t addressed. Others say that oompaville should have pushed him more on some of the more serious allegations, such as the crypto trading.
