As a seasoned internet dweller who’s seen more than my fair share of viral hoaxes and fake news, I can’t help but chuckle at the antics of TikToker Zachxposts, also known as ‘Zach news king.’ His latest stunt, claiming that Karl Jacobs, a popular YouTuber and MrBeast collaborator, was arrested, is just another example of his penchant for creating a buzz by spreading misinformation.
A popular TikTok post suggesting that Karl Jacobs, a partner of YouTuber MrBeast, was arrested stirred real worry, however, the TikToker later revealed it was untrue, describing it as a “joke among friends.
On November 1, TikTok user Zachxposts, or ‘Zach news king’, shared a video reporting that Karl, who is associated with MrBeast, was recently apprehended and transported to the county detention center.
It turns out that the arrest was caused by chat logs from MrBeast’s team being leaked, and these conversations were made public towards the end of October.
The video garnered more than 4 million views, leaving many viewers convinced by the TikToker’s serious demeanor that the content was genuine. One viewer expressed bewilderment, asking, “What exactly did he do?” Another viewer questioned, “How could Karl be arrested but Chris not?
Initially, a fabricated report about Karl Jacobs, MrBeast’s collaborator, being arrested was published by certain Indian news outlets with headlines like “MrBeast’s partner Karl Jacobs allegedly taken into custody.” However, there is no evidence to support this claim as it was merely a hoax created by the TikTok influencer.
Zachxposts continued to create additional TikToks, further asserting that another collaborator of MrBeast, Chandler, had been taken into custody. His content is brimming with such videos, also containing other unverified statements like “rapper Lil Durk died in prison” and “Asmongold sadly passed away.
On November 3, Zachxposts found the news about his claim quite amusing and expressed it as “really funny” in a recent video update.
“That inside joke escalated beyond repair! Incredible! This morning, when I searched for his name online, numerous news articles popped up about him. Can you believe it?
It’s not true that Karl Jacobs, Chandler, or any individuals linked to MrBeast have been detained by police or contacted by authorities about the disclosed group chat.
On November 1st, MrBeast shared the findings from an internal review of his organization and pledged significant improvements. Key adjustments he mentioned are: recruiting a new Chief Executive Officer, Chief Product Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, along with dismissing an unspecified number of staff members.
The investigation was launched after allegations of inappropriate behavior from another of MrBeast’s closest collaborators, Ava Kris Tyson. MrBeast has since cut ties with Tyson.
