Hasbulla, the famous Russian internet influencer was recently arrested for violating the traffic rules of Dagestan.
The 20-year-old was handcuffed with a few of his other friends for the cause. A video of them committing this crime also went viral on social media. Hasbulla, after him becoming the UFC ambassador, has been a part of many controversies which have landed him in trouble.
Recently, the Russian influencer was seen celebrating on the street of Dagestan, the home country of Khabib Nurmagomedov. He and his friends were seen racing on the roads in the name of celebrating a friend’s wedding. Hence he and his friends were arrested for disturbing the traffic rules.
After this, Hasbulla got into more trouble when he posted a video of him casually harassing his pet cat. The video went viral. As a result, he had to face a huge backlash from his fans, as well as UFC fighters like Sean Strickland, as well as lightweight fighter Dan Hoker from the UFC community. The situation got so heated up that the 20-year-old was almost canceled from the community.

Following the incident, Hasbulla released an apology/explanation on his social media saying “Those brothers who think that I was beating the cat, pulled the ear this and that, I pulled the ear gently and I know that people are waiting for the moment if I write something wrong, to just attack me like this.”
He also added “I love my cat more than you. If I didn’t love the cat, I wouldn’t have it at home,” revealing that he loves the animal.
Hasbulla has his fanbase at his rescue
The Russian social media sensation seems to have developed a loyal fanbase over time. Even after the humongous backlash Hasbulla faced for his cat incident, his fans are now coming to his rescue by posting on social media to free him.
Free my boy, Hasbulla. He did nothing wrong.

Hasbulla has this spell on his fans due to his childlike appearance. “Mini Khabib” suffers from disorders such as GHD-Growth Hormone Deficiency and achondroplasia. Due to it, he has a very short stature of 3’4 and also appears very childlike. While the condition is very rare, it is one of the main reasons behind his massive fan following. However, some have claimed it to be a disability. Hasbulla was accused of having a disability by Sean O’Malley.
