Clearly, MrBeast<\/a> has no idea that the real beasts on the internet are Caleb Hearon<\/a>\u2019s stan army of celebrities and \u201chundreds of thousands of mentally ill baristas<\/a>.\u201d The baristas are ready to mobilize, MrBeast fans are AFK training for the next Hunger Games. The multi-hyphenate YouTuber (chocolatier<\/a>\/real-life Frontman<\/a>) Jimmy Donaldson was unhappy with his spot on Rolling Stone<\/a>\u2019s \u201c25 Most Influential Creators of 2025\u201d list as #7 and took it out on the person who ranked directly above him, Hearon. \u201cAccording to this list a guy with 1 million followers is more influential than me. What did I do to piss off The Rolling Stones,\u201d Donaldson wrote<\/a> in a now-deleted X post on August 26. What\u2019s Mick Jagger got to do with this? Anyone who has scrolled on TikTok for even just a day has probably come across one of Hearon\u2019s videos; clips from his podcasts<\/a> and stand-up<\/a> shows get millions of views, not even counting the amount of reposts from random clip farming channels<\/a>. Yes, MrBeast has millions of views as well as an Amazon Prime show, but not without controversy<\/a> following<\/a> him<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For what it\u2019s worth, Hearon isn\u2019t fazed by MrBeast\u2019s comment. He shared the post on his Instagram (main feed, mind you) and thanked Rolling Stone for the \u201chonor.\u201d Kyle MacLachlan<\/a>, Rosanna Pansino<\/a>, and Ayo Edebiri have all found the humor in Donaldson\u2019s strange call out \u2014 even John Cena<\/a> posted a pic of Hearon in support.<\/p>\n

After the pack of she\/theys<\/a> were unleashed onto Donaldson, he deleted the post because he didn\u2019t \u201cwant the smoke from the shooters.\u201d He added, \u201c[Not gonna lie] after this I watched some of his stuff and it\u2019s actually good.\u201d Hearon also posted on Instagram Stories that he is in \u201cpeace talks\u201d with MrBeast.<\/p>\n

Ngl after this I watched some of his stuff and it\u2019s actually good. I deleted the tweet I don\u2019t want the smoke from the shooters, spare me plz<\/p>\n

If MrBeast wants to rank higher on next year\u2019s list, he\u2019d better figure out what cologne Cooper<\/a> was wearing.<\/p>\n
