Lil Pump voluntarily signed up to be put to sleep by UFC fighter Colby Covington, and he got just that when he was put into a choke hold.
In a livestream on his Kick channel on Saturday (September 21), Pump signed a waiver that allowed Covington to do what he does best, and thousands of fans watched live as the rapper gasped for air before briefly going out cold.

In a statement to X after just the clip of him being put to sleep went viral, Pump made sure to clarify that the whole thing was planned.
“just to be clear… I signed a waiver and told @ColbyCovMMA to try his best to choke me out even if I was tapping out (watch the start of the stream),” he said. “Colby my fucking brother. I honestly wanted to feel what it was like to be put to sleep lol… mind u I was tapping myself.”

Last month, Joe Budden unloaded on Lil Pump over the rapper’s support of former president Donald Trump.
In a clip from the Joe Budden Podcast, Budden took direct aim at the “Gucci Gang” hitmaker and his continued adoration of Trump, questioning how he still manages to find his way into the news.

Budden said: “I still don’t know why he’s a thing. Why is he a thing? Like, the internet be making people things, and then it be 10, 15 years and I still don’t know why people … I don’t know the song, the movie. I just think of a shit stain. A white shit stain. I’ve never seen him not look shit stain-ish.”
The rant arrived just days after Lil Pump revealed that he’d be releasing a new song in support of Donald Trump.
Posting on X, the controversial rapper announced his decision to scrap a planned diss song aimed at Kamala Harris and instead focus his efforts on supporting Trump.
“[N]ot dropping a diss song[.] I know some ppl wanted it but it would hurt what we are fighting for which is to get President Trump in office. Can’t stoop down to the liberals level,” he wrote.
