The video begins with the title 'Malala claps back' and features Hasan in the video as he says: "On October 4th, I made a joke about Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala. I said she follows me on Instagram and I don't follow her back. Then on October 5th, she retaliated (asking who is this man?). Instead of doing a runoff, she unfollowed me on Instagram. I am sorry Malala, follow me back. I don't know if I'll follow you though. I am that petty."
