Activists ‘shaming’ MrBeast for building wells in Africa

Sky News contributor Kosha Gada has slammed activists for “shaming” YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, known as ‘MrBeast’, after providing clean drinking water to Kenyans.

MrBeast is building 100 wells that will bring clean drinking water to 500,000 people.

Activists have condemned the YouTuber for his philanthropic efforts, claiming his actions shamed the Kenyan government.

“The other thing about the white male coming in and saving the oppressed, that whole thing, they need to just get out of the way because what he is, is a beneficiary of a unique time and an unprecedented time in history because of the internet,” Ms Gada told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“He is the second most subscribed platform, over 200 million people on YouTube, that is a resource and a power that he has to bring attention to the issue.”
