GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA: MrBeast, the renowned and iconic YouTuber celebrated for his extravagant and record-setting challenges, found himself in a unique competition recently.

A recent tweet on platform X (formerly Twitter) from @Dyllie sparked a rivalry between MrBeast's dedicated fanbase and enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the release of GTA 6, the sixth edition of the legendary game, Grand Theft Auto.

In the tweet, @Dyllie posed the question, "You guys think the #GTA6 trailer will break the new world record for most views in 24 hour period on YouTube? Currently MrBeast holds the record."

Accompanying the tweet was a screenshot of MrBeast's earlier post, where he celebrated the success of his '7 Days Stranded at Sea' video breaking the record for the most views in 24 hours for a non-music video.
