YouTube Pranks Gone Wrong: Nas EBK and Gunna Impersonator
YouTube Pranks Gone Wrong: Nas EBK and Gunna Impersonator
Prank videos on YouTube have become a popular way for creators to gain views and subscribers, but they often cross the line into dangerous and illegal behavior. Two recent incidents involving Nas EBK and a Gunna impersonator demonstrate the potential consequences of these pranks.
Nas EBK, a Bronx drill rapper, was recently arrested and charged with terroristic threats and assault over a prank video filmed at a local grocery store. The video, which was posted on Buba100x’s YouTube channel, shows Nas EBK and Buba asking ShopRite shoppers odd questions and screaming loudly. The situation turned violent when Nas EBK snatched an employee's hat and brandished a knife, threatening the employee and assaulting him.
The video has been viewed over 430,000 times since it was posted in January, but the consequences for Nas EBK have been severe. He is currently in custody at Bergen County Jail facing charges of possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, simple assault, terroristic threats, and disorderly conduct. This incident highlights the dangerous and illegal nature of pranks that cross the line into violence and harassment.
Another incident involving a Gunna impersonator at a mall shows the potential for these pranks to turn ugly. In this video, the impersonator is heckled and insulted by angry mall-goers who accuse him of being a "rat." The video was posted on YouTube and Gunna responded by posting laughing emojis on his Instagram Story.
While this incident did not result in violence, it demonstrates the potential for pranks to cross the line into harassment and bullying. Impersonating celebrities can be a harmless and amusing way to gain views on YouTube, but when it becomes a source of anger and frustration for those who feel they have been wronged by the celebrity, it can lead to dangerous situations.
These incidents demonstrate the need for creators to be responsible and aware of the potential consequences of their actions. YouTube pranks can be entertaining and amusing, but when they cross the line into dangerous and illegal behavior, they can have serious consequences for everyone involved. It's important for creators to be aware of the potential harm their pranks can cause and to always prioritize safety and respect for others.
