Kevin Gates is known for his no-nonsense demeanor, a fact that a young YouTuber learned the hard way during a prank gone wrong at a mall.
The prank, intended to provoke crude responses from unsuspecting targets, backfired when the Louisiana rapper was approached.
Gates, immediately sensing the nature of the interaction, warned the prankster, "stop playing with me."
Undeterred, the teen pressed on with his inappropriate request, prompting Gates to smack him upside the head—a clear message that not everyone appreciates being a part of such jokes.
The incident quickly became a topic of discussion online, with mixed reactions from fans.
While some argued the YouTuber got what he deserved for crossing a line, others found humor in the situation.
The prankster himself considered the reaction a victory of sorts, remarking to his cameraman, "That's lowkey a dub not gonna lie."
This event serves as a stark reminder to content creators that pranks can lead to unpredictable and sometimes harsh reactions.
