Hasan Minhaj and his borderline life threatning Saudi encounters are no new news. Find out how Adam Levine got into the mixture.

“He’s just a pervert”- Comedian Hasan Minhaj Reveals an Enticing Story of How Adam Levine DM-ed Him for Advice

Adam Levine did not know when he sent a text to Hasan Minhaj that he would
become the butt of his joke on Late Night with Seth Meyers. But given the fact
that Hasan Minhaj does not think twice before joking about the Prime Minister of
India, the late Queen of England, and most importantly the King of Saudi Arabia,
Levine should have known what he was getting into.


HOW DID HASAN MINHAJ DEAL WITH ADAM LEVINE SLIDING INTO HIS DMS?

Well, in a true Hasan fashion and sticking true to the success mantra that he
has followed for years, the comedian made a joke about Levine’s DMs. In his
latest special on Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/title/81497808] The King’s
Jester, Minhaj opened up about a lot of life-changing moments. Sticking to his
previous intriguing style of storytelling and wild hand gestures, the comedian
starts from a childhood memory.

From how the first joke that he cracked ended up saving his life to how now,
most of his jokes end up getting his family in trouble, his special covered it
all. Speaking of jokes causing a threat to his family, Hasan goes back to the
Saudi episode of his Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/title/80239931] show
titled The Patriot Act. Furthermore, the episode that criticized the Saudi
government for the death of Jamal Khashoggi inside a Saudi consulate received
direct backlash from the Saudi government. It ended up making Hasan Minhaj a top
Twitter trend.

The Stand Up comic revealed one more encounter with the Saudi government that
his viewers weren’t aware of before. Before the Netflix episode kerfuffle,
Minhaj had visited the Saudi embassy in an appeal to interview the then Crown
Prince.The incident ended with a ”We will be watching you” from the
representatives of the Saudi Royal family. Soon after Haan’s visit to the Saudi
embassy, news of Khashoggi’s death broke out.

Later, Hasan Minhaj received a text from Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine regarding a
visit to Saudi Arabia for a performance. And a few weeks later when he heard his
wife squeal ”Did you hear about Adam Levine”? Given the last thing that they had
discussed was a Saudi visit, we can’t blame Hasan for the first thing that came
to his mind. ”He’s just a pervert,’‘ said the stand-up comic after realizing it
was just a cheating scandal.
