A viral social media moment involving popular streamers and YouTube megastar MrBeast has been revealed as a cleverly staged act, turning an apparent controversy into a calculated bid for attention. The incident, which unfolded on January 6, 2025, initially showed streamers Stable Ronaldo and Nick Lacy appearing frustrated and allegedly removed from the Beast Games Season 2 premiere event by security.
The Viral Clip That Fooled Fans
A short video that spread rapidly on platform X (formerly Twitter) captured the apparent drama. In the clip, Ronaldo and Lacy seemed visibly upset outside the venue, with the strong implication that MrBeast's security team had ejected them. This narrative immediately captured the interest of fans across the internet, sparking widespread speculation and discussion about what might have transpired at the exclusive event.
Full Livestream Exposes the Scripted Plan
However, the full context from Stable Ronaldo's livestream tells a completely different story. The footage confirms the entire scenario was pre-planned and performative, designed specifically to generate online buzz and, hopefully, catch MrBeast's eye. Earlier in the stream, Nick Lacy openly devised the plan, suggesting they frame the situation to create engaging content.
Lacy can be heard saying, "Wait, wait, wait, I'm not going to lie, we can have an elite-level farm right now. We can be like, 'Oh, they didn't let us back in, we got kicked out!' And then it'll get posted, and MrBeast will see it and be like, 'Damn! That's why they're not there.'" This revelation completely changes the interpretation of the viral clip.
A Convincing Performance for Engagement
Following the plan, Stable Ronaldo delivered a remarkably believable act for the stream. He narrated a detailed story to his audience about being removed, stating, "How do we go to the MrBeast event, right? Someone there took off our wristbands... because we're streaming. So, like, and then we get kicked out…" His convincing demeanor sold the story to countless viewers who only saw the truncated viral version.
Another moment from the stream that fueled online chatter was Ronaldo's humorous reaction to a security guard wearing an unusual mask. He commented, "Nah, he's got to move eventually. I'm not going to touch these. No way. Why has every person got, like, these dog on?" He even questioned MrBeast's choice of attire for the security team, calling them "freaky."
When pieced together, the evidence from the full livestream clearly shows the streamers were not officially ejected. Instead, they leaned into exaggeration and performance to drive engagement and creatively signal their presence to MrBeast himself. In related news, MrBeast's name was recently brought into a separate online controversy involving Danielle Marsh and ADOR, after the YouTuber inquired about ways to help, demonstrating his pervasive influence in the digital landscape.
