THE STORY BEHIND THE SLAP!!! HITMAKA SPEAKS ON MAINO & WHAT REALLY HAPPENED THAT NIGHT

In this past clip from My Expert Opinion Episode #125, Hitmaka (a.k.a. Yung Berg) sits down with Math Hoffa to break down what really happened in his viral altercation with Maino — “the slap heard around the world.”

Hitmaka explains how the situation got twisted, how media and early WorldStar culture spun the story, and how a night in Atlanta fueled one of the most talked-about moments in hip-hop. He opens up about being young, wild, and on edge, and admits what really sparked the chaos that night — including throwing a drink that changed everything.

The clip also dives deep into how Maino and Hitmaka eventually squashed it, how fame, perception, and ego played into it, and how both men have matured since that era. Hitmaka gets honest about accountability, growth, and using his mistakes as lessons for others coming up in the game.
