MrBeast Offers to Acquire Nigerian Artist’s Sketch

American YouTuber and media sensation Jimmy Donaldson, widely known as MrBeast, has expressed interest in acquiring a pencil sketch of himself, created by a Nigerian artist, Ifure Usen. The offer came after Usen shared a hand-drawn version of an AI-generated image on X, prompting a playful response from the YouTuber.

The chain of events began when MrBeast posted an AI-generated picture of himself, his fiancée, and two children, hinting at a hidden request: “My fiancée sent me this AI generated image of us with two kids. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something tells me she wants something,” he wrote.

Seizing the moment, Usen transformed the digital image into a pencil sketch and tagged MrBeast, writing, “I did it guys!!! @MrBeast.”

His response was both genuine and enthusiastic: “Love it, I’ll shoot you a dm. Would love to put this on my wall!”

The exchange quickly garnered attention across social media, celebrated by fans and fellow artists as a rare spotlight for creative talent from Nigeria. Many praised MrBeast for acknowledging and encouraging regional artistry.
