MrBeast had some advice for a man named "Deez-Nuts," who was recently arrested on charges of battery in Wisconsin. The YouTuber suggested that the man change his name before he "gets sued," a reference to his own legal tussle after using a similar phrase on one of his Feastable bars.
Jimmy was sued and refrained from using the phrase since it sounded too similar to Florida-based company "Dee's Nuts." The court documents reportedly state that the lawsuit is the result of MrBeast's product sounding "confusingly similar and phonetically equivalent" to the Florida-based brand.
MrBeast's humorous reply to the "Deez-Nuts" man's arrest was as follows:

Hence, in a permanent injunction handed to Feastables Inc. on December 6, 2023, it was barred from using the phrase on any of its products.

MrBeast was recently touted as "Willy Wonka" by fans after he stated that he spent a whopping 15 hours restocking shelves at various big chains such as Target and Walmart to make his Feastables chocolates
