Content creator Jimmy Donaldson, or MrBeast as he is better known on the internet, is currently the biggest YouTuber on the planet and in terms of subscribers is second only to India's music company T-Series. On Saturday, MrBeast launched a war against T-Series to become the Youtuber with the maximum number of subscribers in the world.

Sharing the top two rankings on Twitter, MrBreast announced that he was starting the war over numbers for Swedish YouTuber Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie.

As of Sunday, the music company had more than 247 million subscribers while the American content creator had over 173 million subscribers.

Although there is a quite large difference in the number of subscribers between the channels, reacting to the feat MrBeast said, PewDiePie was once the most subscribed YouTube Channel and that too ended with the famous tussle between it and T-Series from August 29 2018 to April 29, 2019.

PewDiePie was once the world's most-subscribed YouTube channel, but that ended with the infamous feud that took place between it and T-Series between August 29, 2018, and April 29, 2019. Various YouTubers supported PewDiePie back then, with famous creators and influencers but T-Series won eventually after PewDiePie released a video called "Ending the Subscribe to Pewdiepie Meme" on April 28, 2019.

After MrBeast's recent announcement, fans have taken to crunching numbers to calculate when the 25-year-old can overtake T-Series.
