Top YouTuber Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is suing the company behind his fast food chain, and says fans called the food “revolting”.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Donaldson, the biggest YouTuber in the world with 172 million subscribers, opened MrBeast Burger in 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He claims Virtual Dining Concepts – the company behind the burger – is hurting his brand and reputation by serving a subpar product.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He is asking a judge to give him the right to terminate the arrangement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Donaldson is known for his philanthropy, as well as videos featuring huge prizes and cash giveaways.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The legal action, filed in New York on Monday, accuses Virtual Dining Concepts of not ensuring the quality of the burgers, claiming they were at times “inedible”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“As a result, MrBeast Burger has been regarded as a misleading, poor reflection of the MrBeast brand,” the lawsuit claims, going on to say it “has caused material, irreparable harm to the MrBeast brand and MrBeast’s reputation”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It also claims Donaldson “has not received a dime” from the partnership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The BBC has approached Virtual Dining Concepts for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Donaldson has previously apologised to fans on Twitter who were disappointed by their food, and said he “can’t get out of” his deal with the company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
