The Mob\u2019s Classify responds to backlash for smashing PS5 as a prank 100T Classify YouTube100 Thieves trickster Yan \u2018Classify\u2019 Shalomov came under fire after smashing a PlayStation 5 just to prank fellow The Mob member Erind \u2018Froste\u2019 Puka, as the next-gen console has been increasingly hard to obtain. Classy pulled a fast one on his friend by switching Froste\u2019s PS5 with another authentic console that was acquired through a reseller. Tempers flared once the prank actually went down, but it was all smiles once the curtain had been lifted. However, some people online still didn\u2019t like seeing the hammer come down on Sony\u2019s latest PlayStation and have been taking aim at the YouTuber for pulling off the prank in the first place. The replies to the video eventually prompted Classy to speak about the hate he was getting, addressing those who felt \u2018insulted\u2019 by the antics on display. (Mobile users: Timestamp at 5:18) \u201cThat PS5 prank was simply for a YT video. That\u2019s all,\u201d Classify said.\u201d I only bought one, and from a reseller, and I in no way meant to insult anyone who can\u2019t get one right now by smashing it in the video. I genuinely tried to get a reaction out of my roommate for the video and I did. \u201cThat being said, I understand if your opinion about me changed and if you don\u2019t like me because of that. I apologize.\u201d He also responded to people calling him \u201centitled and ungrateful for what (he has) in life,\u201d pointing to how he communicates to his friends and fans about his gratitude on a daily basis. Smashing it in the video. I genuinely tried to get a reaction out of my roommate for the video and i did. That being said, i understand if your opinion about me changed and if you don\u2019t like me because of that. I apologize.

While the timing of the prank might have hit a sore spot for many, the value of this particular joke came because of the hefty PS5 shortage in the world and how much Froste cherished his. President & CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Jim Ryan, told TASS about the state of PS5 sales, saying: \u201cEverything is sold. Absolutely everything is sold\u2026 I\u2019m spending a lot more time on trying to increase supply to meet that demand.\u201d As the holidays near, PS5s are only going to get harder to find. This realization could be why so many took issue, but Classy reassured that he meant no offense with the prank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
