Popular content creator Chris Tyson has been making rounds lately, for both good and bad reasons. The 26-year-old, best known for his appearances in MrBeast’s videos, has been under scrutiny for a while now. Recently, Tyson revealed he has started Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and it’s been two months since he began the treatment.
The controversial announcement has generated mixed reactions from fans and critics alike. So much so, that even his close pal MrBeast has had to defend him against Transphobic reactions. However, Chris has found himself under the microscope yet again. A week ago, A Twitter user who goes by the username ‘yoxics’ posted a meme, poking fun at Tyson’s appearance change.
The caption said, “old Chris would make fun of new Chris.” The post went viral enough to garner 13.5k likes. However, the user has now found himself in a potential defamation lawsuit. It hasn’t been confirmed though whether the person allegedly suing him is really pushing for the case or just happens to be a troll.

‘yoxics’ DM’ed Tyson about the same, to which the 26-year-old said that he didn’t make much of the tweet and took it as good humor. However, things went south when the troll said he wasn’t joking around. The entire DM’s thread can still be found under the troll’s Twitter feed as of now. He even tried to ratio the famous YouTuber.
It was at this moment that Chris chose to answer the troll with an unexpected response. The North Carolina native had allegedly posted a picture of a wire transfer dated February 10 with a staggering amount of $1 million. He posted the tweet with the caption, “Ratio this and then we will talk.”

However, the tweet appears to have been deleted. In what appears to be an alleged brag, the controversial star has seemingly lost a lot of fans’ support. It is still unclear whether the tweet was ever made or just a fictional work by an online troll. However, thanks to a sceptical screenshot, the moment will forever remain a piece of internet history.
