On December 23, 2024, YouTuber Jack Doherty shared a clip on his official social media platforms, in which rapper Lil Pump and Doherty were distributing PS5s among their fans on the occasion of Christmas. The caption for the video read:
"Lil Pump goes off on greedy lady who wants a 2nd Ps5 from us😂."
In the video, a woman gained attention after she demanded a second PS5 for her daughter after she already received one and seemingly passed it to another family member.
To this, the YouTuber responded stating that they had allotted one for each fan. The woman kept insisting on another one claiming that she wanted it for her daughter and thus, needed another one. Meanwhile, Pump got involved in the conversation. He addressed her and said:
"Are you serious! That's very greedy. That's super greedy... When I was a kid and somebody handed me a basketball, I would've been so happy..."
The woman seemingly got angry and began walking off with her daughter, further calling Lil Pump "rude" for refusing to give another PS5 to her. The video soon went viral, receiving more than 3 million views and over 24.5k likes within less than a day since it was uploaded on the platform X.
Rapper Lil Pump recently performed Gucci Gang on his grandmother's 90th birthday
Recently, rapper Lil Pump also gained traction after performing his 2017 track Gucci Gang, on his Grandma's birthday.

The rapper rapped:
"My lean cost more than your rent, ooh (It do). Your momma still live in a tent, yuh (Brr). Still slangin' dope in the 'jects, huh? (Yeah). Me and my grandma take meds, ooh (Huh?)."
While the rapper was seen grooving while rapping and standing on a chair, his grandmother seemed to not react to the performance.
