GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA: YouTube king James Stephen Donaldson, widely known as MrBeast, participated in a popular TikTok trend based on the nursery rhyme '1, 2 Buckle My Shoe'.

MrBeast and Eddy collaborate for nursery rhyme trend

Eddy and MrBeast collaborated to create a video. In the opening of the video, Eddy remarked, introducing MrBeast and talking to the audience, "Yo, come over here. Come over here."

As the camera frame captured MrBeast, Eddy added, "I'm with MrBeast and we got the brand new." He went on to sing, "1 2 Buckle my shoe; 3 4, buckle some more; 5 6, MrBeast kicks. That is fire!"

Originally, the trend included shoes, but MrBeast did something different. Instead of wearing shoes, the YouTuber wore black crocs. Fans noticed this and changed the rhyme saying, "One two buckle my mrbeast crocs."

However, not everyone was impressed by the video. A user commented, "This ain't funny anymore." Someone else wrote, "MrBeast just doing side missions at this point."

In the video, MrBeast wore a full-sleeve, black T-shirt and white shorts, and to complete the trend, he also donned black crocks with a fake yellow buckle on top.
