Popular YouTuber MrBeast has claimed he was invited to join other billionaires on the OceanGate Titan vessel, but declined. Taking to Twitter, the video creator - who boasts a whopping 163million subscribers on the platform - uploaded a screenshot of a text message indicating he was asked to join what he described as "the titanic submarine."
In the post, it shows a blue iMessage bubble which reads: "Also, I'm going on to the Titanic in a submarine late this month. The team would be stoked to have you along. I'm sure you're also welcome to join," before being cut off.
In the caption, the YouTuber, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, wrote: "I was invited earlier this month to ride the titanic submarine, I said no. Kind of scary that I could have been on it."
