Over the last few years, JiDion has become quite popular on YouTube thanks to his viral prank videos that garner millions of views across social media. His most recent prank involved him going to a women\u2019s basketball event and acting like he was sleeping in courtside seats. JiDion was promptly banned from \u201call NBA-related events,\u201d and now he\u2019s revealed that the prank almost didn\u2019t happen in the first place. JiDion almost backed out of viral WNBA sleeping prank During an interview with Andrew Schulz on the Flagrant podcast, JiDion shared more information about his viral WNBA prank. \u201cI was at their game\u2026 I genuinely had a great time. I told my filmer, \u2018Yeah, i\u2019m not doing it,\u2019 and I p**sied out. I was thinking about not doing it,\u201d he said. That is, until he talked to some of his friends and was convinced to grab his sleeping bag, pillow, and head out to his court side seats to do the video. (Topic starts at 10:32) \u201cWe did it. I did feel bad, [though],\u201d he continued. \u201cIt was an asshole thing to do.\u201d The YouTuber also hit out at people who called him out after the prank went viral for being \u201cmisogynistic\u201d since the prank happened at a WNBA event. \u201cJust cause you\u2019re trolling a little bit doesn\u2019t mean you hate women,\u201d JiDion said. It doesn\u2019t appear that he\u2019s going to be slowing down with his videos anytime soon, as JiDion\u2019s YouTube channel is more popular than ever. He\u2019s even created his own YouTube series alongside star Niko Omilana called \u201cThe Biggest Menace,\u201d although the finale took place earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JiDion says he almost backed out of viral WNBA sleeping prank YouTube: FlagrantYouTube star JiDion revealed on the Flagrant podcast with Andrew Schulz that he almost backed out of doing the viral WNBA sleeping prank that got him banned from future games.
