Attila vocalist Chris Fronzak made some headlines earlier this week after questioning the continued functionality of various wells YouTuber/philanthropist/entrepreneur MrBeast had overseen the construction of in Africa back in 2023. Fronzak raised his concerns with MrBeast on social media, citing reports he had heard that 100 wells originally installed under an initiative spearheaded by MrBeast for clean water had fallen into a state of disrepair and were all currently unusable.
In that exchange, MrBeast directly responded to Fronzak, stating that an audit recently conducted proved that rumor was “a flat out lie.” Fronzak went on to ask for proof that the wells were indeed still functional, offering to donate $5,000 to MrBeast‘s newly launched Teamwater initiative if he was proven wrong.
That aforementioned initiative aims to raise raise $40 million USD to install further clean water wells to those in need. Overnight, MrBeast came back with the receipts, sharing the below proof of the disputed wells remaining fully operational:
“People desperate for ad revenue have falsely claimed that the 100 wells I built for people in need don’t work anymore WITH ZERO PROOF! So I sent someone to EVERY SINGLE WELL to get video proof of them all still working over a year later. Checkmate liars. Proof – https://beastphilanthropy.org/i_built_100_wells_in_africa/all-well-projects“

Fronzak for his part remained a man of his word, donating the cash to TeamWater fund, while stating:
This is amazing, thank you for providing clarity. I am a man of my word, so as I promised, here is proof of my $5,000 donation! I genuinely hope you hit your goal and everything succeeds smoothly. #TeamWater https://t.co/OrVORPSgvt pic.twitter.com/iKEIohTAlX
