MrBeast's fans once accused Jake Paul of 'copying' YouTube king's video ideas to get views: 'Will watch it when you credit'
GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA: James Stephen Donaldson is popularly known as MrBeast, a well-known content creator on YouTube who has 179 million subscribers on his channel.
MrBeast's fans once claimed that Jake Paul, a YouTuber-turned boxer had stolen video ideas from MrBeast.
MrBeast, a vlogger who enjoys challenges, uploaded his video titled "Last To Leave Slime Pit Wins $20,000" in 2018. Everything was OK (and slimy), that is until Jake Paul posted a video with the title "LAST To Leave ICY HOT Pool Wins $10,000 - Challenge!"
Did Jake Paul copy MrBeast's content?
As soon as MrBeast's fans noticed Paul's video they could not digest the fact that someone had stolen a video idea of their favorite YouTuber.
After Paul shared his video on his official channel many of MrBeast's fans started criticizing him.
A fan wrote, "‘You really gonna do Mr. Beast like that?’" Another user bluntly accused Paul of copying the video theme, "Copying Mr.beast much?!"

The third commentator wrote, "I’ll watch it when you actually credit mr beast somehow :) you were inspired so it’s the right thing to do."
Fans of MrBeast are furious with the situation, but neither vlogger has commented on it.
Jake got flirty with Taylor Selfridge
Another video, which depicts Paul flirting with Taylor Selfridge, a former star of Ex On the Beach, was released following his November divorce from Erika Costell.
Paul referred to the relationship as "super-toxic" and a "downward spiral" in a documentary that examined the couple's breakup.

Costell, meanwhile, handled the breakup in a slightly different way, taking a birthday trip to Miami and releasing her single, 'Girls Night'.
From Jerika, the song she and Paul released about their romance, it was simply a small shift in tone.

Paul has been hinting on Twitter that he wants Erika back despite the girls in the new video and the allegedly "toxic" relationship.
"Everyone was gassed up by Ariana," he continued, going, "HAHAHAHAHA. Thank You, Nexttttt" & I'm just like bawling in the corner like, "Thank you, thank you so much, I love you, please let's get back together."'
