Comedian Matt Rife is once again under fire. This time, he is being called out for starting a fight with a 6-year-old.
Bunny Hedaya, a famous TikToker, posted a video to the social media platform, slamming the comedian for his unnecessary and rude comment towards her 6-year-old son.
"This all started when his comedy special, which if that's what we're calling it," Bunny said in her TikTok video calling out the comedian for his behavior. Rife has received backlash for his recent Netflix comedy special, "Natural Selection," for his comments on domestic abuse victims that were deemed insensitive.
Bunny Hedaya Calls Out Matt Rife For Picking Fight With Her Son
Bunny has a 6-year-old son who is obsessed with space and Minecraft, so after Rife's comments on Jupiter and space were shared on TikTok, people began tagging Bunny in the videos to grab her attention.
"It has nothing to do with the stars, man. Just because Jupiter has a ring, and you don't, doesn't mean..." Rife said during his comedy special.
Her son then stitched a video with Rife's comments on Jupiter, calling him out for his inaccurate statements. "Actually, it's Saturn that has the rings," the 6-year-old said while calling the comedian out. "And you're mean to girls," he added.
The video was obviously light-hearted considering it was a 6-year-old calling Rife out, the comedian took it very seriously and then attempted to start a fight with Bunny's son.
"Jupiter also has a ring. OH!... and Santa Claus isn't real. Your mom buys you presents with the money she makes on O---F---s. Good luck," Rife commented on the video.

Bunny denied the claims that she is an O---F--s model as she pulled up her Instagram, proving that she never even showed her body in the photos.
"For you to assume that every single woman online makes money by showing their bodies, which like if that's what you do girl, do you, [but] I have never made a single dollar from a man," Bunny said in her video.

The backlash surrounding Matt Rife began after he released his Netflix comedy special, “Natural Selection,” where he opened by telling a story about being in a “ratchet” Baltimore restaurant with a friend. He soon noticed that their female server had a black eye.
He claimed that he and his friend then questioned why the restaurant wouldn’t have the server work in the kitchen so that customers wouldn’t see her black eye. Rife then joked, “Yeah, but I feel like if she could cook, she wouldn’t have that black eye.”

After delivering the punchline, Rife told the audience that the joke was him “Just testing the waters, seeing if y’all are gonna be fun or not.”
“I figure if we start the show with domestic violence the rest of the show should be smooth sailing," he added.
The comments were immediately shared on social media as many users bashed the comedian for his "insensitive" jokes.
