Popular YouTube streamer Ludwig Ahgren, boasting 5.96 million followers, recently shared a provocative theory on his stream regarding a MrBeast challenge video. The video, which included 50 creators, featured prominent figures such as JJ “KSI” Olatunji and Logan Paul. Ludwig suggested that KSI and Logan Paul might have had prior knowledge about one of the challenges, influencing their strategic choices.
The challenge in question required participants to pair up and tie their hands together. While most creators chose to team up with close friends, Logan Paul teamed up with Ajey “CarryMinati,” an Indian YouTuber whom he had just met. Ludwig highlighted this as suspicious behavior, saying, “Do you see this, everybody is picking their closest friends after MrBeast said to pick someone to tie your hands together…except for one person (indicating Logan Paul).”
Ludwig also pointed out KSI’s quick decision to partner with AJ Shabeel without any discussion. He elaborated, “KSI immediately picked AJ (Shabeel). AJ didn’t even have a say in it. He just went up to him and said, ‘We’re teammates.’ Logan went up to Carry right away and picked him as a teammate. So this is where I started to form this conspiracy theory that they had some insider information of what the challenges were going to be.”
The crux of Ludwig’s theory lies in the nature of the challenge: a giant Jenga game. Ludwig argued that KSI and Logan Paul, knowing the challenge in advance, chose smaller, less physically imposing partners to gain an advantage. He stated, “The theory that KSI and Logan knew is exacerbated by the fact that it was meant to be giant Jenga and they both picked people who are much smaller in stature, who have a clear disadvantage in giant Jenga by being smaller.”
Logan Paul responded to Ludwig’s allegations in the video, explaining his strategy. During the Jenga challenge, he was paired with CarryMinati, one of India’s biggest YouTubers. Logan explained, “So my strategy from the beginning was to form alliances and I liked this kid, Carry, from India. In the very beginning, we had formed an alliance, as you can see, and when they said I was playing Jenga, I was stoked.”
Logan Paul’s involvement in the challenge ended in an unexpected manner. He left the competition after a moment of impulsivity, reminiscent of his past viral antics, where he threw plates on the ground, inadvertently crossing the elimination line.
While Ludwig’s conspiracy theory adds an intriguing layer of speculation to the MrBeast video, it remains unproven. The dynamics of online content creation often lead to unexpected alliances and strategies, and the nature of these challenge videos encourages spontaneous decisions. Whether KSI and Logan Paul had insider knowledge or simply made strategic choices on the fly, the controversy has certainly added to the video’s buzz, drawing more attention to the high-stakes, highly entertaining world of YouTube collaborations.
