The post Top 5 Hip-Hop Pranks That Went Too Far appeared first on SOHH.com.
Yesterday, a video of Maino choking a YouTuber after being asked if he could wear his chain went viral. In the video, YouTuber Buba100x asks Maino if he can wear his chain, before turning hostile and asking Maino if he could beat him up. And already frustrated Maino proceeds to choke Buba before the clip stops.
In a new interview on Way Up With Angela Yee, Maino revealed that the video was staged.
“It was all part of the prank. It was fake,” Maino explained. “I wanted to make it look real.” Yee then complimented Maino for being a “good actor,” to which he replied, “Yes. I’m great at it.”
However, not everybody believed that the video was staged. One person commented that he probably paid the YouTuber not to sue, while another person brought up a situation years ago where Maino choked a reporter.
Another video shows Maino still with his hands on Buba100x while the YouTuber is pinned on a table. Maino is telling Buba to stop playing with him. Either Maino was right and he is that great of an actor or it wasn’t staged at all.

Buzzing YouTuber Buba100x is apparently willing to do whatever it takes to become the next big figure on the platform. The YouTuber’s gained significant steam over the past few months, thanks to the success of his prank videos. What began with innocuous practical jokes, like ding dong ditch, and videos of blind dates, he eventually began getting acquainted with rappers in the local drill scene. From there, his views began to grow astronomically, though some of his pranks have undoubtedly led to some trouble.
Last month, Buba100x shared a controversial prank video alongside budding drill rapper Nas EBK. In the video, Buba and Nas head into a ShopRite where they disturb many customers. While the video shared on Buba’s page gained 430K+ views, it resulted in charges against Nas EBK. At one point, Buba and EBK get into an argument with an employee before EBK pulls what appears to be a knife out of his pocket. “Walk toward me again and I’ll violate you,” EBK said before allegedly kicking the employee and running out of the store. Though Buba didn’t face charges, police arrested Nas EBK for terroristic threats and assault.
Despite the recent brush with the law, Buba100x continues to keep a consistent stream of content on deck. Most recently, he interviewed Maino for his YouTube channel but things got intense after Buba asked to wear the rapper’s chain. “See, now you just chatting. I gave you a time, now you just chatting,” Maino said, unimpressed with Buba’s request. However, things took a turn for the worse when Buba tried to up the ante.
“On a scale of 1-10, how badly do you think I can beat your ass?” Buba asked Maino, who was not willing to entertain the question. The Lobby Boyz rapper took Buba by the neck and pinned him to a table before warning him. “I just told you, it’s not just a stupid video. Don’t play with me,” Maino said. Though it could’ve been part of a prank, people in the background appeared to be shocked by Maino’s reaction. “Damn, he’s really choking him,” one person’s heard saying in the background. Check the prank above.
Maino just dropped a new freestyle over Pusha T and Jay-Z’s 2022 hit “Neck & Wrist” and it’s one for the books. Featured on Fire in the Booth for the first time, the New York emcee got back to his lyrical roots over the Pharrell Williams-produced beat.
Shortly after the beat dropped, Maino goes straight into his bars, quoting memorable one-liners on the track.
Featured on Pusha’s fourth studio album It’s Almost Dry in April 2022, “Neck & Wrist” entered Billboard’s Hot 100 chart shortly after its debut. It marked the 45-year-old’s first collaboration with Jay-Z since Pusha T’s 2016 song “Drug Dealers Anonymous.”
Earlier this month, Jay-Z released his year-end playlist for 2022, listing “Neck & Wrist” along with Gunna’s “Pushin P” and Beyoncé’s “PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA.”
Maino, whose career has spanned decades, recently teamed up with his longtime friend Jim Jones to form Lobby Boyz. The pair released their self-titled project earlier this year, featuring Styles P, Benny the Butcher, and more.

Quotable Lyrics:
Bandanas, all black leather like Black Panthers
These d***k riding internet n****s, they can’t stand us
Pain addict, can’t find space I’m that tatted
Just met her, gave her my face, I’m that savage
FOX SOUL, the Black community’s top free streaming platform serving Black content 365 days a year, has announced that platinum-selling recording artist Maino’s Kitchen Talk series would be available for streaming.
Kitchen Talk is not a culinary show or a love show; it’s a show that delivers a vibe with in-depth chats about life, co-hosted by Platinum-selling recording artist Maino, Georgie, and Hala. The stories are sometimes funny, sometimes encouraging, but they are stories for the culture at the end of the day.
“FOX SOUL partnering with Kitchen Talk gives us the ability to reach a broader audience,” says Greg J. Gavin, executive producer. “When the show first started, the vision was to be able to create an impact on the culture and reflect growth. FOX SOUL is the platform that will assist in us becoming a staple in the media business. The most important thing about this partnership is we now have a partner to help spread the VIBE.”
From a tough past to a male influence, Maino’s tale demonstrates that it’s not how you start that matters but the work you put in to change the story. Georgie, a single mother of two boys, exemplifies strength and can relate to and inspire many women of color not to let anyone or anything stand in the way of being powerful and influential. Hala is also a young woman whose faith and determination will inspire and motivate others in the future. Kitchen Talk is unscripted culture.
Kitchen Talk is a video podcast that aims to bridge the gap between cultural and transformational discussions. Kitchen Talk seeks to motivate the future generation to work hard and never quit, no matter what is thrown their way, through motivational anecdotes and celebrations of our rhythms and blues.
Kitchen Talk will feature Angie Martinez, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, and DJ Envy. Kitchen Talk is executive produced by Maino and Greg J. Gavin. You can see the official trailer below.

Newly-elected NYC Mayor Eric Adams has reason to be concerned about the growing number of violent and often deadly incidents surrounding the city’s drill rap scene. In a late night meeting, Adams met with Brooklyn rapper Maino, Fivio Foreign and other NYC artists who are familiar with the genre and the culture.
Maino vowed that those in attendance would “roll out something together” with the mayor to quell the violence. Maino also said, “There’s been a lot of talk about drill rap, drill music in New York City, connecting violence with the culture, and I just wanted to create a conversation with the mayor.”
