Hasbulla isn't a good person. There's a video he made of himself pulling hard on his cat's ears and striking/hitting it on the head repeatedly. The cat tries to escape from him and hides in a box, and Hasbulla follows it and punches it on the head. He's a d-bag.

He looks just like a toddler, so I understand where thar came from. And it must be really hard for a 22 year old to look and sound like a 2 year old
