Social media star Hasbulla has defended his recent actions in a video in which he pulled on his cat's ear after backlash from his fans.
The Russian influencer, whose full name is Hasbulla Magomedov, was under fire from social media users in the past few days after video emerged of him becoming aggressive with his cat Barsik. The 20-year-old, who looks considerably younger due to his dwarfism, took on mass criticism online for the footage, and has clarified he was simply disciplining his animal.
Magomedov is a known animal lover, with his cats featuring prominently on his social media where he has tens of millions of followers. But fans believed that he went too far in his video, with many taking to Twitter to mock the Russian star before he posted a response video captioned "For everyone asking me without the full picture".
