“Kaya please just f*cking go back…just stop…Jesus Christ…what are you doing? You’re being such a baby.”

He added, referring to his dog, and adds:

“She’s incredibly spoiled by my mom.”

HasanAbi addressed the situation during the livestream on October 7, 2025. He claimed that his dog yelped as she clipped herself to something on the floor.

Drama Alert shared a clip from his livestream in post on X, which read –

“Hasan DENIES using a shock collar on his dog.”

In the video, the streamer said:

“Classic…it started on H3 then lsf (r/Livestream Fail subreddit), it’s the classic pipeline. I’m gonna f**king die dude. Yes, I am incredibly abusive, to the not only best-trained but also the best-behaving and most spoiled dog on the planet. ‘It’s from when Kaya yelped.’ Yes, she yelped because she f**king clipper herself on something when she was getting off the bed.”

Multiple videos erupted as the news went viral on X, with users accusing HasanAbi of animal cruelty. Ethan Klein, the H3 Podcast host took his social media platform and wrote:

“Horrifying animal cruelty caught on camera by Hasan as he activates her shock collar for one tiny step off of her bed. She cries in pain, poor baby. I always thought it was extremely bizarre that his young, energetic puppy never stepped off her bed. That has to be the result of some brutally strict training.”

He further described HasanAbi’s actions as “deeply psychopathic behavior.” He added:

“exerting this level of control over a meek animal and then turning his anger on HER for crying out in pain. Very disturbing.”

This is not the first time Hasan has been involved in a controversy. He has been involved in multiple controversies due to his outspoken views.
