Maker Studios, the digital entertainment network PewDiePie is a part of, stated Wednesday that PewDiePie Markiplier, JackSepticEye, KickthePJ, Cryaotic and more will live stream Friday and Saturday to raise money for RED, an AIDS charity. It's supposed to kick off on Friday on PewDiePie's channel.

Some speculate PewDiePie may be building buzz around deleting his channel to draw people to the channel for the charity stream.

PewDiePie, after all, has been known to prank viewers before.

But in his tweet, PewDiePie said he plans on deleting the channel at 5 p.m. GMT (12 p.m. ET and 9 a.m. PT).

Maker Studios did not respond to Mashable'srequest for comment. YouTube also did not immediately respond for request for comment.
