Once he left, he began creating videos for the internet.
He has a form of dwarfism caused by a growth hormone deficiency and stands at tall, weighing 20kg (40lb).[8] [9] His sister also has the same medical condition. However, his and his sister's form of dwarfism is unknown, as he stated that doctors have never given him a definitive diagnosis.[10] The New York Times wrote that he is passionate about "shooting guns, driving fast cars, practicing fighting moves, and playing pranks."
He owns a Scottish Fold cat named Barsik (Russian: Барсик|lit=little leopard|label=none).[11] Hasbulla also owns a white Lada Riva (also known as "Semyorka").

One of Hasbulla's first viral videos show him driving a motorized scooter and lecturing a young person on a bicycle about pandemic restrictions, telling him to go home. In another video, Hasbulla was eating strawberries.
During 2021 and 2022, he had a satirical publicized dispute with Abdu Rozik[12] and Uzbek Erali.[13]
In September 2022, Hasbulla signed a five-year promotion contract with the UFC.[14] [15] [16] [17]
Since 2021, Hasbulla has participated in commercial ventures, including licensing his image to be used in products[18] and releasing an NFT collection.[19]
In March 2023, after touring the United States with Nelk, he came under criticism for scolding his pet cat, by pulling her ear.[20] [21]
