Hasbulla Magomedov, also known as Hasbulla, Hasbi or Hasbik, is a Russian social media personality and music producer who rose to fame in 2021 due to his viral TikTok videos and his collaborations with famous MMA fighters and celebrities. Hasbulla, who has a form of dwarfism caused by a growth hormone deficiency, is often compared to Khabib Nurmagomedov, a retired UFC champion and fellow Dagestani.
However, Hasbulla’s popularity did not prevent him from getting into trouble with the law. According to a report, Hasbulla was arrested on May 8, 2023, following a wedding celebration in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan. The report claims that Hasbulla and his friends were involved in a brawl with another group of guests at the wedding venue, and that Hasbulla allegedly assaulted a police officer who tried to intervene.
The report also states that Hasbulla was released on bail after spending a night in jail, and that he faces charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Hasbulla has not commented on the incident publicly, but his fans have expressed their support and outrage on social media, using hashtags like #FreeHasbulla and #JusticeForHasbik.
Hasbulla’s arrest comes as a surprise to many who admire his cheerful and playful personality, as well as his passion for shooting guns, driving fast cars, practicing fighting moves, and playing pranks. Some have speculated that Hasbulla was provoked by someone who insulted him or his family, or that he was defending himself from an attack. Others have suggested that Hasbulla was framed by his rivals, such as Abdu Rozik or Erali, two other social media influencers who have challenged him to a fight in the past.
Whatever the truth may be, Hasbulla’s arrest has certainly generated more attention and controversy for the 20-year-old internet sensation, who has already signed a five-year promotion contract with the UFC and has fans all over the world.
