MrBeast breaks own TikTok record as viral ‘MrLean' video gets 26 million likes
MrBeast has smashed his own social media record with a TikTok clip that has officially become his most-liked video to date. According to Newsweek, the YouTuber posted a playful clip responding to a fan's request for a 'hood edit,' resulting in the viral sensation now known as 'MrLean.' The short video was shared last month. It now boasts 26.4 million likes and 287.3 million views. The clip features MrBeast donning a hoodie, holding stacks of cash aboard a private jet while nodding to a trend where AI and Photoshop edits imagine him as a stylized hood version of himself.

The meme is part of a wider trend that surfaced last month, where fans used AI to depict the YouTuber-real name Jimmy Donaldson-with designer fashion, a goatee, and a low taper haircut. This new persona, dubbed 'MrLean,' references internet aesthetics and even slang associated with the recreational drug 'Lean.'
Originally inspired by a fan comment asking for a 'MrBeast hood edit,' the clip has since exploded across platforms. 'You can call me MrLean now,' reads the video caption, embracing the parody and turning it into a record-breaking moment.
In a follow-up post on X (formerly Twitter), MrBeast wrote, 'People on TikTok asked me to be more hood, so I did and it became my most liked TikTok ever, so here I am again. Idk what's going on.' That post has also gone viral, with over 24.1 million views.

Rupali Ganguly says Diljit Dosanjh 'fails to recognise responsibilities towards country', miffed at his Border 2 casting
Jun 28, 2025 10:41 AM IST Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has been facing criticism since he announced that Pakistani artist Hania Aamir will star in his upcoming movie Sardaar Ji 3. Diljit made the announcement against the backdrop of continuing tensions between India and Pakistan. Now, actor Rupali Ganguly has also criticised Diljit, though she didn't name him, and talked about his upcoming film Border 2. Rupali Ganguly talked about Diljit Dosanjh and Border 2. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Rupali said that it's "truly disheartening and frustrating" for her to "see an actor in Border2 who fails to recognise his responsibilities towards the country". She wrote, "Border was a film that evoked deep patriotism among the people of our nation. It's truly disheartening and frustrating to see an actor in #Border2 who fails to recognise his responsibilities towards the country." Though Rupali hailed the Border 2 team for dropping Diljit from the film, there are no confirmed reports about it. "Kudos to the makers for showing clarity and conviction by dropping that actor from film. A film that celebrates our soldiers and national pride must reflect that spirit in every aspect. No room for confused loyalties in a film about national pride," she tweeted. Is Diljit Dosanjh being dropped from Border 2? Several reports emerged saying that the makers of Border 2 are likely to drop Diljit from the film and that he would be replaced by actor-singer Ammy Virk. However, a highly-placed source close to the production told Hindustan Times, 'There is no plan to replace or remove Diljit from Border 2. His casting was confirmed nearly nine months ago, long before the recent unfortunate incidents. Nearly half the film has already been shot, and any replacement at this stage would be logistically unfeasible." About Border 2 Border 2 is the upcoming sequel to the 1997 blockbuster Border and has a powerhouse production team, including Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta. The film is directed by Anurag Singh. Diljit had joined the project in September last year and will feature alongside Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty.

Awkward moment: Zohran Mamdani caught off guard as interviewer plays his 2019 rap in apron on live TV
Zohran Mamdani, while appearing on Erin Burnett OutFront, was caught off guard after the interviewer decided to play his old rap video from 2019 during the live interview on CNN. Zohran Mamdani tried to keep a straight face as an interviewer played his 2019 rap video, 'Nani.'. (Screengrab) Burnett, during her conversation with Mamdani, suddenly played a portion of the assemblyman's rap music video, 'Nani.' He had shared the video in 2019 on YouTube under the name Mr. Cardamom. In the throwback clip, Mamdani is featured alongside his friends and Indian-born British-American actress Madhur Jaffrey. Throughout the video, they dance at various places, including a food truck. At one point, Mamdani is seen rapping while wearing an apron without anything underneath. What does the interview show? During the interview, Burnett starts playing videos from Mamdani's recent campaigns, including one in which he talks about his place of birth and how he got his middle name. As the interview continues, a snippet from his appearance on The Breakfast Club podcast appears on the screen. What follows is Burnett introducing the politician's creative side and playing a portion of the rap video. As the rap continues, Mamdani, clearly caught off guard, tries to maintain his composure. However, eventually, he gives in and starts laughing. 'I didn't think it was going to be on CNN,' he says. The video is posted on the official X profile of the talk show with a caption that reads, 'Watch as #NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani watches his past performance as a rapper and responds to critics who say he's not ready to run New York. He speaks one-on-one with @ErinBurnett.' In 2017, Mamdani released a song titled Salam. In his music video, he praised five men, 'Holy Land Five'.
