Personal life

Hasbulla grew up in Makhachkala, Republic of Dagestan, Russia, and is the son of a plumber.[3][4] He is a Muslim[5] and of Dargin ethnicity.[6][7] He said in an interview on Full Send podcast that he disliked the four years he spent in an Islamic school, labeling it as a "prison."[8] His informal interpreter, Surkhay Sungurov, said that Hasbulla convinced a friend to drive the 200 kilometers to help him escape the school. Once he left, he began creating videos for the internet.[9]

He has a form of dwarfism caused by a growth hormone deficiency and stands at 101 cm (3 ft 4 in) tall, weighing 18 kg (40 lbs).[10][11] His sister also has the same condition. However, he stated that doctors have never given him a definitive diagnosis.[9] The New York Times wrote that he is passionate about "shooting guns, driving fast cars, practicing fighting moves, and playing pranks."[9]

He owns a Scottish Fold named Barsik (Барсик, 'little leopard').[12] Hasbulla also owns a white Lada Riva which he has named "Semerka".

Career

One of Hasbulla's first viral videos show him driving a motorized scooter and lecturing a young person on a bicycle about pandemic restrictions, telling him to go home. In another video, Hasbulla was eating strawberries.[9]

During 2021 and 2022, he had a satirical publicized dispute with Abdu Rozik[13] and Uzbek Erali,[14] both having similar forms of dwarfism.

In September 2022, Hasbulla signed a five-year promotion contract with the UFC.[15][16][17][18] His fans include Jair Bolsonaro, Donald Trump Jr., Shaquille O'Neal, Noor Serhan, Drake and Scott Gideon.[9]

Since 2021, Hasbulla has participated in many ventures. Notably, he licensed his image to be used in stickers, cardboard cutouts, and even air fresheners.[19]

In January 2023, Hasbulla released an NFT collection.[20]

Controversies

In March 2023, after touring the United States with Nelk, he came under backlash for harshly scolding his pet cat and pulling her ears.[21][22]
