Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has finally done the “hood MrBeast” trend on TikTok, and it quickly became his most liked upload on the platform.
Among the thousands of viral trends on TikTok throughout April and May has been one trend where people dress up like the YouTuber with gold chains, a flatbill hat, and stacks of money in their hands.
Fans of Donaldson began asking him to participate in the trend, and on May 18, he finally did.

“I’m not doing the hood MrBeast trend, stop asking,” he said at the beginning of the video before it transitioned to him sitting in a private jet and in various other rooms. “You can call me MrLean now,” he added in the caption.
The video quickly went viral, amassing over 233M views, 23.3M likes, and 289k comments from fans across the world.

To celebrate the success of his first video, Donaldson collaborated with Twitch star Kai Cenat to do a second set of hood photos.
Fans flocked to the comments of the second video to share their thoughts, with many excited to see the collaboration happen.
“Why is Mr. Lean actually tuff,” one user commented. Another said: “Mr.lean won this trend!!!”
Others, however, mentioned other creators that MrBeast should do the trend with, including IShowSpeed.
If he does collab with IShowSpeed for the hood MrBeast trend, it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve partnered together for content. Back in October, Jimmy invited him to a $1M haunted house where the YouTube streamer was scared “sh*tless.”
