Despite winning MrBeast’s $1 million content creator challenge, JaidenAnimations has since distanced herself from him. However, she still intends to use the money she won.
The purpose of MrBeast’s $1 million challenge was to provide the winning YouTuber with a million dollars to use at their discretion, as long as they used it in a manner that benefited their subscribers.
Despite Jaiden’s plans to use her winnings to assist her subscribers, she addressed her frustration with her connection to MrBeast in a statement she shared on her social media account.
i love being an animation channel having to take 2 months to work on a video for the topic to become vastly soured within those 2 months 😀 so awesome!

“She expressed her love for being an animation channel and the process of taking 2 months to work on a video, despite the topic becoming outdated within that time. She found it to be an awesome experience.”
In addition, the YouTube video contains a disclaimer. While the video itself does not mention the controversy, it is addressed in the video’s description and comments. The message from the creator is stated as follows:
“This video was initially written and began production on June 6th, 2024. I would like to clarify that I am not involved in the production or ethical aspects of any Mr. Beast videos. My intention is solely to share my cube story, but please keep in mind that animation is a time-consuming process. Thank you for your understanding!”
The controversy surrounding MrBeast did not reach its peak until July 21, which was a month and a half after Jaiden began working on her video about the subject.
Jaiden disclosed that she and the remaining five participants came to a mutual decision to divide the prize money, with the ultimate winner receiving the majority of the million and the remaining four receiving $100k each.
Despite initially considering taking back Jaiden’s share, Amixem ultimately allowed him to keep it. This meant that Jaiden received $700k, while Nick DiGiovanni, Ludwig, and Alexandra Botez each received $100k to give to their subscribers. It remains to be seen how they will use their portion of the winnings.
Jaiden intends to use her $700k to support individuals in attending art school, allowing them to pursue their dream careers in animation or other areas of the industry.
At the time of writing, MrBeast has not addressed the allegations, but sources close to him state that he intends to release a response once all accusations have been made public.
