Popular YouTuber Jimmy "MrBeast" has recently gone viral for his new video where he buried himself alive for a whole week. The video was a sequel to his previous challenge, where he did the same, but for a significantly less duration of 50 hours. The new YouTube video has garnered 72 million views in just four days and also received a lot of appreciation and love from Jimmy's fans.

However, many were not satisfied with Jimmy's feat, and one user on Reddit made a troll post claiming that the video was staged as a joke.

The popular X account Drama Alert posted the Reddit thread on their account. Per the news account, Redditors are seriously accusing MrBeast of staging his latest video. Many viewers and fans responded to the X post defending Jimmy.

One user who did not find the challenge convincing, said:

"It's not that deep."

When the Drama Alert post went viral on X for serious accusations of staging, users immediately swarmed the post to justify that the post was indeed a satire, referencing the popular meme - Saddam Hussein's Hiding Place. The post is an exact replica of the old meme.
