Mr Beast apologises for his ‘inappropriate language’ and ‘bad jokes’ in resurfaced clip

Mr Beast has made a statement and apologised for his “inappropriate language” earlier in his career. This comes after an old clip resurfaced of the YouTuber using multiple homophobic slurs, joking about slavery and making sexual comments about a 14-year-old.

Speaking in a statement a spokesperson for Jimmy Donaldson said: “When Jimmy was a teenager he acted like many kids and used inappropriate language while trying to be funny. Over the years he has repeatedly apologised and has learned that increasing influence comes with increased responsibility to be more aware and more sensitive to the power of language.

“After making some bad jokes and other mistakes when he was younger, as an adult he has focused on engaging with the MrBeast community to work together on making a positive impact around the world.”

In the video, which was filmed on a livestream in 2017 when Mr Beast was 19, he is asked if he would “buy a n-word for $400”. He replied saying: “The most I would pay is $300. Sorry, $400 is just out of my price range for that type of stuff.”

Later in the video, he said: “n-word, n-word, n-word” before being offered 10 “n*****” for $69 each”. Mr Beast called it a “steep” price as he laughed.

In the same clip, he used a homophobic slur multiple times. He said: “You shut the f–k up, you stupid f*****. If the video was looped, how would I be able to call you a stupid f*****? Exactly, it’s not looped, fucking dumbass.”

Another clip also emerged of the YouTuber speaking on the Hot Wet Soup podcast where they are talking about rapper Bhad Barbie, who was only 14 at the time. “He did say he liked the ‘Cash Me Outside’ girl [Bhad Barbie], thinks she’s funny, so…” one of the hosts says before Mr Beast allegedly responds, “Let’s be real you wouldn’t put your dick in her?”

Another host then points out that she was only 14 at the time before they go on to discuss her boobs.

Separately, allegations have been made that long-time MrBeast collaborator Ava Kris Tyson interacted inappropriately with minors online. Ava Kris Tyson worked with Mr Beast on his channel for a number of years as one of his most popular co-hosts, but decided to step away from the company earlier this week following the accusations. She announced on Tuesday she had “mutually decided it’s best I permanently step away from all things MrBeast and social media to focus on my family and mental health.”

In a statement addressing the allegations against his former co-host, Mr Beast wrote that he was “disgusted and opposed to such unacceptable acts.”
