Did MrBeast fire Chris Tyson? YouTuber finally gives big update on current Crew situation

Chris Tyson, a popular YouTuber and content creator, was reported missing from Jimmy "MrBeast's" travel group during their visit to Japan. However, subsequent video clips and Instagram photos proved these rumors false. It was later revealed that Chris had indeed traveled with the group but opted not to participate in filming at one location as they preferred to spend quality time with their son.

After the initial rumors about Chris missing from MrBeast's Japan trip, some reports emerged speculating that the content creator might have fired them. However, Chris recently shared a Snapchat video dismissing these speculations. They explained that they had the freedom to come and go as they pleased during the trip to spend quality time with their son and that they were not fired from the group.
