Hasbulla responds after reportedly being arrested in Russia

Hasbulla has responded after reportedly being arrested for a traffic-related incident in Russia.

Footage emerged online of the 20-year-old social media celebrity sitting in the passenger seat of a white car.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs, MVD Dagestan also posted a clip that revealed two other vehicles doing burnouts on the street.

Fast forward to the next clip and the vehicle that Hasbulla was sitting in is seen with a huge crash mark along the side of the car.

The white car is then seen speeding off on a highway before we see a lineup of Hasbulla and his pals looking a little sorry for themselves.

Hasbulla has posted a statement about the incident on his Instagram page.

He wrote: "We decided a little bit hype, black hype is also hype. This won't happen again folks. sorry Played a little had to answer."

A friend of the influencer reported the story claiming that they hadn’t been driving.

Hasbulla replied: “I wasn’t driving either, it’s just Bratskaya supported me."

Hasbulla has been approached for comment for this story.

The MMA sensation again landed in hot water earlier this year, after footage emerged of him appearing strike his pet cat.

The Dagestan native could also be seen appearing to strike the creature, believed to be his pet cat Barsik, before it scrambled away to its bed.

Hasbulla was ruthlessly slammed after the video caused outrage, with fans calling it “painful to watch” while ‘Mini Khabib’ was branded as “f**king annoying and stupid.”

The TikTok and Instagram star has now taken to social media and claimed the cat was “misbehaving” and he only “pulled the ear gently.”

Speaking in the Twitter clip (watch it in the video player above), Hasbulla said: “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 [that] if I write something wrong to just attack me like this. Like, ‘You do this, you do that.’

“She [the cat called ‘Barsik’] was misbehaving and I just pulled the ear and that’s it. I love my cat more than you.

“If I didn’t love the cat, I wouldn’t have it at home. My… the most lovely animal is a cat and when she disobeyed I scolded her a little and you are attacking me for nothing.”
