For one who first gained fame through his unconventional YouTube clips, MrBeast didn’t take long to be ranked among the most influential people of all time. Since then, he has launched quite a few ventures about numerous different things, and while some of them garnered him controversy and backlash, some others garnered him acclaim too.

That said, he recently brainstormed to come up with a whole new idea to gain a spot under the limelight once again: Per reports, he is currently working on one million dollars worth novel with James Patterson, the author famous for his mystery pieces of realistic fiction.

The alleged “grooming” target of MrBeast’s former co-host, Ava Kris Tyson, is no longer defending her.

Tyson, who is transgender, dropped out of MrBeast’s organization earlier this week for comments made to a then 13-year-old, known only as Lava, when she was 20.
