This led to a flood of trolls and memes poking fun at MrBeast’s hatred towards award shows. Nonetheless, on August 29, he took to Twitter to provide an explanation for his absence. He was too busy filming content for his channel. His tweet read: “I’m filming videos.”

Aside from the Creator of the Year award, he also secured the Collaboration Award through a brief video collaboration with the Rock (Dwayne Johnson). The duo engaged in a rock, paper, and scissors game, with MrBeast emerging as the victor.
While he also garnered a nomination for the Best Creator Product award, this particular victory was claimed by UK-based YouTuber JJ “KSI” and WWE star and YouTuber Logan Paul for their Prime Hydration Drink.
In order to upload weekly videos later this year I’ve been filming every single day (and only have a couple days off filming between now and end of year) and I’m dying mentally. I hope you guys love these videos when they go up, I’m pushing myself to the max to get them done ?
