Controversial comedian Matt Rife finds himself in hot water again after the mother of the 6-year-old boy he beefed with online revealed the comedian hasn't apologized till now.
Rife was embroiled in the incident after the child corrected him on his Netflix special, where he joked about women using astrology and made a punch line referencing rings and planets.
The young boy's mom, TikTok influencer Bunny Hedaya, went on to note that she'll be ready to forgive the comic if he not only apologizes but also changes his ways.
Bunny Hedaya Gives Condition For Forgiving Matt Rife
In response to Rife's unapologetic stance after beefing her son, TikToker Bunny Hedaya has made it clear that she will only accept an apology from Rife if it is accompanied by meaningful changes in his behavior.
Hedaya noted that the comedian would have to change his tune when referring to or about women, but she isn't expecting much from him because of his behavior so far.
According to TMZ, she also stated that Rife does not appear to be someone who will look back on his own actions, citing the way he handled criticism over a domestic abuse joke he made during his Netflix special.
Hedaya believes he needs to check himself, observe why he feels so aggressive toward women and children, and then attempt to heal himself once he determines the root cause.
She also told the news outlet that she had to shield her son from Rife's insult, emphasizing her cautious approach to exposing him to excessive social media at his tender age.
Matt Rife's Beef With 6-Year-Old Child
The feud came to light when Rife was getting roasted for his Netflix special that fans thought promoted domestic violence and for generally berating women. At the time, Hedaya posted a stitch to one of Rife's jokes from his "Natural Selection" show, where he made jokes about women for relying on astrology.
As reported by The Blast, Hedaya's young son jokingly corrected him on which planet has rings around it and also told the comedian that he was mean to girls.
In a since-deleted comment, Rife wrote, "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." Although he seemingly showed remorse by taking the post down, he still hasn't apologized, according to Hedaya.

The latest Rife drama comes after fans roasted the 28-year-old comedian for responding to a social media post where a Chicago-based plastic surgeon mentioned gifting an undisclosed celebrity the "greatest jawline ever." The video, which was first posted on TikTok, went viral with over 16 million views before Caughlin shared it on Instagram.
"Me after creating the greatest jawline ever seen just for my patient to get canceled right after," Caughlin wrote over the video, as he was seen jumping down the hall of a doctor's office.
He added in the video description: "He shall not be named... # canceled #jawlinecheck #comedian #standup #celeb."
In response to the video, Rife commented, "Lying about medical history is illegal, just FYI." Fans took to the comment section in their numbers, noting that they believed the video was referring to Rife, with some trolling him for responding when his name wasn't mentioned.
The Comedian Doesn't Care About Offending People
In an interview with Variety after the release of his Netflix special, Rife weighed in on several topics and went on to share his take on people getting offended by him.
He was asked if there was anything he held back on the show because of his fears of offending people, but the "Wild 'N Out" alum seemingly put up an unbothered stance.
Rife shared that he doesn't believe in the "sensitivity" idea going around in the comedy world and stated that he thinks he can say anything, but one must be prepared for "repercussions." He added that everything he shares onstage is only geared toward making people "laugh," although he loves "dark humor."
"You have to be yourself and not worry about offending a certain amount of people," Rife said. "You might miss out on a joke that you're worried might offend somebody, but might make you a million new fans. You don't know what people are into, and that's why you have to go out there and do your comedy and just lay it all out there vulnerably to find your audience."
He noted that one has to be "willing to be vulnerable and do the jokes you want to tell in your voice, in your comedy, to figure out who likes your comedy."
