Several individuals on TikTok believe MrBeast has lying cancer and that is why he pays money to strangers. None of this, however, is correct.
MrBeast is well-known for giving out millions of dollars to complete strangers. While the YouTuber has gained enormous success as a result of his videos, many people have questioned why he does so.
With this in mind, it’s no surprise that this inquiry has sparked a slew of theories, one of which is that the YouTuber is suffering from lung cancer.
MrBeast is not suffering from Lung Cancer
After multiple videos alleging he had lung cancer aired on TikTok, allegations about him having lung cancer began to circulate online. The majority of the films were made up of bits and photos of MrBeast with the text “He has lung cancer.”
This isn’t the first time similar rumors have surfaced on the internet. Fans believed that the YouTuber provided money since he had kidney difficulties a few months ago. This claim gained traction after a TikTok member known as hesmyoverd0se posted a video on the app confirming it.

What disease is MrBeast suffering from?
MrBeast suffers from Crohn’s disease and has been open about his health issues since the beginning. That, however, is not the reason he gives money away.
In 2011, the YouTuber revealed his diagnosis for the first time. He said that he had struggled with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a condition that affects the small intestine’s end and leads to the colon.
The YouTuber also disclosed that he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease when he was in ninth school. He went on to say that there were days when he was just in pain and couldn’t do anything.
MrBeast has talked about his illness a lot since then, with the goal of teaching people about it.
Why does MrBeast like to give away his money?
MrBeast gives away his money for a simple reason: to promote his videos. When MrBeast initially started creating content, a creator’s popularity was based on how they did things differently than other people on social media.
With that in mind, it felt like a smart place to start would be to spend a lot of money on individuals and then give it away. Since then, MrBeast has worked hard to secure a number of partnerships that allow him to be creative while also promoting his material on social media.
