In light of a viral video implicating comedian Matt Rife, Nima Yamini has offered a clarification regarding their alleged shared experience. Rife, contemplating legal measures, disputes the claims made in the video.

Allegations and Legal Response

Yamini’s video depicted claims of him and Rife being promised fame by “Hollywood executives” in exchange for sexual “oral” favours.

This is a common theory in the entertainment world and the recent feud between Donnell Rawlings, Corey Halcomb, and Dave Chappelle actually mentioned this.

Nonetheless, Matt Rife saw the video and is now consulting with his legal team on what he considers as defamatory. According to TMZ Matt Rife is,

Sick of people using his name for clout.

Context of The Video

The video was posted under the page Alpha King Nima, which Yamini says is a parody account and was satire,

My content is exclusively for entertainment, no hidden agendas. So please, everyone, stop hating based on rumors, lies, gossip, jokes. Matt Rife didn’t have me do this, but I wanna give an explanation. That was wrong. The Matt Rife conspiracy is just not true.

He then explains that he does not Matt Rife personally and has never in fact met him but wishes him well in his career. Though as of writing there is still no news whether or not Matt Rife is still pursuing legal action.

Vs. A Plastic Surgeon

This isn’t the first time that Rife was considering legal action over something posted on the internet about him. A few months back a plastic surgeon named Dr. Benjamin Caughlin on Tiktok posted this,

Though Rife’s name was not explicitly mentioned, he did comment on Instagram and on Tiktok, he came into the Instagram repost and commented,

Lying about medical history is illegal, just FYI

Rife has been adamant that he has never had any plastic surgery done and has only had his teeth modified with veneers. He has swatted the many plastic surgeons that theorized what surgery he has done, to which Rife said,

I’ve had people who claim to be plastic surgeons that’ll be like: ‘He’s had this…’ and I’m like, cool, you’re not only lying but you’re wrong at your job

The video also came just a few days after he came under fire online for a a domestic abuse joke made on his Netflix Special, ‘Natural Selection’, which of course led to many online users, come at him again to defend the doctor, with comments such as

Comedian who thinks people are sensitive for being upset at him joking about domestic violence draws the line at plastic surgery jokes apparently
and
Imagine mocking domestic abuse survivors and mentally disabled people just to get mad about a vague post under a random surgeon’s Instagram post who never mentioned your name. But not just mad, mad enough to comment about it.

Vs. A 6 Year-Old

Just a month after his run-in with Dr. Caughlin, he later fired back on another post but this time to a 6 year old. Bunny Hedaya a Tiktok user stitched a clip of Rife’s Netflix special where he discussed how women use astrology.

In the video, Bunny’s son, in a joking manner corrected Rife on which planet has rings around it and then added that Rife was being mean to girls.

Rife didn’t let this one slide either, he commented under the video with,

Jupiter also has (a) ring. OH!… and Santa isn’t real. Your mom buys you presents with the money she makes on OnlyFans. Good luck.

Rife did delete his comment but the influencer said that Rife has not reached out to apologize to her son yet.
