Boogie2988 and Frank Hassle have reportedly been at loggerheads in recent times, mainly due to what Williams has said is \u201cplanned, continued harassment\u201d from Hassle and his fanbase. This included Hassle\u2019s alleged involvement with the now-closed \/r\/SamandTolki subreddit, which was a community based around harassing YouTube content creators. Boogie2988 was reportedly a top target for the banned Reddit forum. Hassle has also blamed Boogie for his YouTube channel being suspended. The two came together for an interview, hosted by Daniel \u201cKEEMSTAR\u201d Keem, during which Hassle threatened to turn up at Boogie\u2019s house in Arkansas. Hassle also shared a photo of himself in Fayetteville, where Boogie currently resides. i\u2019m in Fayetteville pussy @Boogie2988 pic.twitter.com\/KuAJbILRSe \u2014 Beaver Street Brawler (@FrankHassleYT) September 27, 2020 In the unreleased KEEMSTAR interview, Boogie allegedly told Hassle \u201cat least five times\u201d that he would kill Hassle if the YouTuber arrived at his house. The following day, Frank Hassle has reportedly done just that. The YouTuber seems to have arrived at Boogie\u2019s hometown, Fayetteville, which led to Boogie \u201cfiring a weapon at him,\u201d according to KEEMSTAR\u2019s Storyfire upload. Hassle is shown in the video knocking on Boogie\u2019s front door, demanding he \u201copen fire,\u201d and yelling multiple slurs. The YouTuber also demands to see Williams\u2019 firearm. Boogie can then be seen emerging from his house with a gun in his left hand. \u201cAre you going to shoot me\u2026 in your doorway?\u201d Hassle can be heard asking. Boogie replies: \u201cI\u2019m asking you to leave. This is my home. You are not welcome here, you have threatened my life. In about thirty seconds I am going to fire a warning shot.\u201d BREAKING we now have pic of @Boogie2988 pointing gun at @FrankHassleYT !!!! #DramaAlert pic.twitter.com\/mN6DxAnyfK \u2014 KEEM \ud83c\udf7f (@KEEMSTAR) September 28, 2020 The YouTuber cannot be seen firing the weapon, but Hassle suggested in a leaked Twitter message that at least one shot was fired. The Fayetteville police dispatch logs also recorded a reported \u201cshooting\u201d around the time of the incident. \u201cIt was, he\u2019s a p*ssy lol,\u201d Hassle said when asked if it was him Boogie had shot at.

The most recent update has come from Boogie himself. The YouTuber revealed he has been in contact with the Fayetteville police department, and confirmed the September 28 incident is now under investigation by the authorities. Williams claims he has handed footage over to the investigating police. \u201cI have to be careful what I say as this is now a criminal investigation,\u201d he wrote on Twitter while posting a YouTube video responding to the situation. \u201cBut I wanted to try and drive home the point that THIS IS NOT OK. Do NOT come to a YouTuber\u2019s house uninvited\u2026 someone could have died.\u201d As of publication, Hassle\u2019s Twitter profile is still hosting multiple images of him standing on Williams\u2019 property. There are also multiple photos of Boogie holding a firearm in the doorway of his Fayetteville property. Boogie also responded to some that have suggested the incident was \u201cstaged\u201d for attention: \u201cTo anyone thinking this is staged\u2026 you have been gaslit by trolls. I would never lie about this. But check the police blotter.
