Buba did not seem to get the message, however, as he continued trying to provoke the rapper.
“On a scale of 1-10, how badly do you think I can beat your ass?” he asked. But before he could finish, Maino grabbed the YouTuber by the throat.
In another video posted by a bystander, he was seen pinning Buba down by his neck. “I just told you, it’s not just a stupid video don’t play with me,” Maino told the prankster.
