Chris Tyson is a man surrounded by controversy right now. Ever since his HRT transformation, Chris’ world has seemingly flipped upside down. As such, he could still be in for one more setback with his best friend MrBeast firing him from the channel.
Previously, a lot was made of the 26-year-old‘s changes and how he began to portray himself. As such, the YouTuber began receiving a lot of backlash with many threatening to unsubscribe from MrBeast as well. Whilst that hasn’t happened yet, many including Ben Shapiro have advised MrBeast to part ways with Chris, for his own good.
Well, as it turns out it might just have happened already. According to leaked DMs from MrBeast, Chris has reportedly been let go. “Yeah, unfortunately we had to kick him out.” Additionally, there is another clip doing the rounds where MrBeast’s official channel commented on a live stream stating, “I know I’m going to get hate, but the truth is we had to get rid of Chris.”
Although the leaked DM is yet to be verified, many believe that the live stream comment is legitimate. As such, MrBeast doing so would indicate a complete U-turn from him, especially after defending Chris from transphobic comments. Whilst there can be many reasons as to why Chris may have been let go from the crew, we are yet to receive any official message for it.
