Fans on social media have accused Russian social media star Hasbulla Magomedov of punching and pulling his cat's ear in a disturbing social media video.
Magomedov, a 20-year-old Dagestani influencer with dwarfism that makes him look childlike, shot to fame during the pandemic with videos of his antics across social media. But he has outraged fans in a video which recently resurfaced showing him getting a bit too aggressive while playing with his cat Barsik.
The Russian, who is signed as an ambassador with the UFC and is regularly pictured with Dana White, regularly shows off his cat on social media in videos. He is a known animal lover, and has been shown with a number of pets throughout his time as an influencer, but some feel that his recent video was a step too far.
