On Friday Mr Beast took to Twitter to tease his up-and-coming video of the project.

“We’ve spent over 8 months working on tomorrow’s video and it’s the greatest thing I’ve ever done!” he teased.

After teasing his video, the Youtuber dropped his video on Saturday,4 November. The video in questions sees Mr Beast together with his team traveling across Africa in an effort to provide less fortunate communities, schools and clinics with fresh water, computers and bicycles.

They travelled to countries like Zimbabwe, Kenya, Uganda, Somalia and Cameroon.

TWEEPS ACCUSE MR BEAST OF BEING DISINGENUOUS

After posting his video many social media users have trolled the YouTuber and accused him of using the struggles of underprivileged people for personal gain.

Questioning the legitimacy of this initiative one user commented: “I wonder how true this is?”.

In response to the negativity the YouTuber tweeted: “I already know I’m going to get cancelled because I uploaded a video helping people, and to be 100% clear, I don’t care. I’m always going to use my channel to help people and try to inspire my audience to do the same”.

 “Here’s the thing about Mr Beast. I don’t necessarily think he’s a bad person. I think he means well and actually thinks he’s doing a good thing. But here’s the issue. It just feels exploitative”, another user shared.

Despite being criticized any other fans have applauded Mr Beast for his efforts to make the lives of those who are underprivileged easier.

One user commented on the incompetence of many African governments and mentioned how these government would rather “steal’ state funds as opposed to providing civilians with proper resources and infrastructure.

“That a YouTuber can wake up one day and build 100 wells in 8 months just goes to show how embarrassing African governments are. They’ll give every possible excuse in the book why it can’t be done just so they can steal the money and stuff it abroad”.
