MrBeast delighted a food reviewer's wife by following her on TikTok after her husband made a viral video saying she was a huge fan

• A TikTok food reviewer made a video asking MrBeast to put his wife in one of his videos.
• Keith Lee said his wife Ronni was a "huge fan" and would "have a ball" in a MrBeast video.

A TikToker filmed his wife's excited reaction to finding out that MrBeast, the world's biggest YouTuber, followed her on TikTok after he found out she was a big fan.

On January 6, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, reached out to Keith Lee, a TikToker with 8 million followers known for making videos reviewing food products, by commenting on one of his videos to ask if he could send him products from his chocolate brand Feastables.

Lee posted a response video on the same day, which received 17 million views, in which he said that he was open to reviewing Donaldson's chocolate line on TikTok, but only if the YouTuber agreed to one of three demands.

One was that Donaldson put his wife Ronni in a video on his YouTube channel. "She's a huge fan," he said, adding that his sister, Erma Lee, is also a big fan of the YouTuber.

"I would gladly sit on the sidelines and watch them have a ball," he said.

Lee's other two options were that Donaldson posts his review on social media, or that he comes to meet him at his home in Las Vegas so that the two of them could help a struggling family business find success, as many of Lee's videos involve reviewing products made my small businesses.

Many commenters tagged Donaldson under the video and urged him to meet all three of Lee's requests. Donaldson responded to the video by commenting with a "" emoji.

On January 9, Lee posted a follow-up video in which he said, "Something insane just happened. MrBeast not only followed me, but he followed my wife and my sister. My wife and my sister don't know yet, but I'm going to get my wife's raw reaction to finding out that her and MrBeast are mutual."

The video then cut to a shot of Lee's wife, Ronni, who was holding the couple's daughter, named Riley, in her arms. Lee then handed his wife a phone, and told her to go to her TikTok page and search for "MrBeast."

"Shut up," Ronni could be heard saying, before adding, "It says friend. He my friend, he my friend!"

MrBeast currently only follows 290 people on TikTok, one of whom is Ronni, whose handle is @ron.geezy.

The video received 6.8 million views, and commenters said they were delighted to see Ronni getting excited about the news.

"She's so happy!" and "I have the biggest smile on my face from her reaction," some top comments said.

Donaldson, who has 127 million subscribers, has developed a reputation for delighting viewers with elaborate giveaways in his YouTube videos. He rose to fame in 2018 by donating thousands of dollars to small Twitch streamers and YouTubers, and more recently has filmed elaborate competitions, where fans take part in videos for the chance to win large prizes. In 2021 he recreated the Netflix Show "Squid Game" for a competition involving 456 supporters, and in June gave away $500,000 to a fan in a competition inspired by Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

He became the most-followed YouTuber in November, overtaking gaming and vlogging creator PewDiePie, who held the title for nine years.

Keith Lee, who has 8.1 million TikTok followers, has been posting content on the app since October 2021 and rose to fame filming taste tests and reviews of snack products and restaurants. He also posts lifestyle content, sharing updates about raising his two children, Karter and Riley.
