Internet sensation MrBeast just dropped a bombshell on his Indian fans, by saying that he is gearing up for a ‘sub race’ against none other than T-Series, the Indian music giant that’s been ruling YouTube for years now.
In a recent message on X, MrBeast, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, made it clear that this challenge is all about the pursuit of being the #1 most subscribed channel on YouTube. No nationalities, just a good old-fashioned race to the top. He took a moment to express his love for his fans from India, emphasizing that this friendly competition has nothing to do with countries; it’s simply a quest for YouTube glory. Who wouldn’t want to be the ultimate ruler of the YouTube kingdom, right?

But let’s break down the numbers, shall we? According to Forbes, T-Series is currently sitting at a whopping 253 million subscribers, securing its place at the top of the most-subscribed YouTube channels in the world. MrBeast, the reigning champion of creative content, is hot on their heels with 210 million subscribers. It’s a clash of the titans, no less.
T-Series, with its rich history dating back to 1983, joined YouTube in 2006 and has since dominated the platform with over 19,000 music videos, movie trailers, and interviews. MrBeast, the North Carolina-based creator, entered the scene in 2012 and has posted over 700 videos that have captivated his dedicated fan base.
While other channels may occasionally outperform T-Series on a weekly basis, the Indian giant consistently holds its ground, rarely falling below the #2 spot on the Global Top 50. With a staggering 237 million lifetime views, T-Series is the most-watched channel on YouTube, and its 252 million subscribers make it the undisputed champion in the subscriber count game.
X users from India were quick to comment on MrBeast’s post with ‘Anyway when you cross them, we will continue to watch your videos and listen to T-Series music. Win win for both. 😅’
