Mexico is seeking compensation from the producers of a MrBeast video and has accused the US YouTuber of exploiting its ancient pyramids for commercial gain.

The Mexican government is suing popular YouTuber MrBeast, who they claim violated the terms of his archeological permit for the Mayan pyramids by pushing his own snack brand — and profiting from the “heritage that belongs to all Mexicans.
