After 4 years of not receiving the prize, the winner goes online to share how they were scammed by the “World’s Richest YouTuber”

MrBeast is facing new allegations that he scammed a contest winner by failing to pay her winnings after four years.

Content creator and musical artist Lauren Vi Pham claimed the YouTube star, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, still owes her her award for winning MrBeast and Clay’s – known online as Dream – collaborative video Minecraft’s Got Talent in 2020.

She sang her single entitled ‘I’m a Simp’ on the online platform, and wowed MrBeast, Dream and YouTuber Alex ‘Quackcity’ Maldonado.

For her efforts, she said she was supposed to win $2,000 – but so far has only received a portion of her earnings.

‘Of the three judges, only Quackcity gave me his half of the prize,’ Vi Pham wrote in a recent Reddit thread, according to the Mirror. ‘Mr. Beast and Dream did not.’

After a few months, Vi Pham created an online petition to get her well-deserved earnings.

She wrote at the time that the contest came just two weeks after her father passed away, and her family was struggling financially as she was in school.

‘My dad always wanted me to be something big – and being able to help my family and accomplish that would mean the world to me,’ Vi Pham wrote in the petition at the time.

‘The prize would give me the money to fuel this dream,’ she added.

‘And lastly, I feel as if I deserve it! Not in a cocky way – I just really worked hard for everything.’

Vi Pham said she has since reached out to the hosts of the online talent competition, but ‘nothing’ came of any of it.

She said she ‘just accepted it and appreciated the kindness and opportunity’ in her recent Reddit thread, convincing herself that MrBeast was too ‘busy helping people truly in need’ to give her the money she is owed.

She wrote on Reddit that MrBeast - whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson - owes her $1,000

But Vi Pham said she felt empowered to speak out about the case again, as the YouTube star faces accusations of racism and sexism.

In one of the videos, which X users allege were recorded in 2017, MrBeast – who has more than 300million subscribers on YouTube and a net worth of $700million – responds to fan comments that appear to be about selling Black people.

The other includes an excerpt from his appearance on the raunchy Hot Wet Soup podcast during which he seemingly asks the show’s hosts if they would have sex with the ‘Cash Me Ousside girl’, better known today as Bhad Bhabie.

The rapper was roughly 14 years old at the time the interview was conducting, meaning Donaldson was around the age of 19.

‘After seeing all the allegations, I feel a strong urge to try and be heard as well, since I feel like this is my only chance,’ Vi Pham wrote – noting that MrBeast allegedly only ‘owes’ her $1,000 while Dream owes her $1.

The YouTuber has already been facing accusations of racism and sexism

Some Reddit users expressed their support for Vi Pham on the thread, according to the Mirror.

‘Oh my, the first claim against MrBeast I actually support!’ one person commented. ‘Hope you get that thousand dollars.’

Another said he hopes more people ‘come out and speak up against that Mr. fraud and fake.’

The allegations come as the YouTuber acknowledged on Wednesday that he used ‘inappropriate language’ in his early days online.

‘When Jimmy was a teenager he acted like many kids and used inappropriate language while trying to be funny,’ a spokesperson told the Associated Press.

‘Over the years, he has repeatedly apologized and has learned that increasing influence comes with increased responsibility to be more aware and more sensitive to the power of language.

‘After making some bad jokes and other mistakes when he was younger, as an adult he has focused on engaging with the MrBeast community to work together on making a positive impact around the world,’ the spokesperson added.

DailyMail.com has also reached out to MrBeast for comment on Vi Pham’s allegations.
