Internet sensation Hasbulla Magomedov's fondness to stay in the headlines is known to everyone as the 20-year-old Russian earlier signed a five-year contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and recently demanded $500,000 to meet popular rapper and singer Drake.
Last month, UFC president Dana White confirmed Hasbulla Magomedov has signed a contract with the fighting promotion. Dana White told Robbie Fox, "Yes, we did sign Hasbulla. What he's going to end up doing remains to be seen."
On the Full Send Podcast with the Nelk Boys, Hasbulla, who has close ties with UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov and lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, was asked about his interest in music and rappers by host Kyle. The Dagestan native responded that he isn't interested in music, however, he claimed to receive messages from popular musicians including Drake, Tyga and 50 Cent.

The four-time Grammy award winner, Drake is a popular global star and the ambassador for the Canada-based NBA franchise, Toronto Raptors. The Nelk boys asked the young Russian about Drake's message to him on Instagram and Hasbulla replied, "I forgot, I didn't read it."
The Nelk boys couldn't believe Hasbulla at once and asked him to show the DMs from Drake. Mini Khabib showed his Instagram DM, where Drake messaged him first and said he is inspired and want to meet him. However, Hasbulla stated that he would charge $500,000 to meet Drake.
Hasbulla attended his compatriot Islam Makhachev's UFC Lightweight championship-winning fight against former champion Charles Oliveira at the UFC 280 on October 22.
