"I know you hear me! You following me around trying to do some bulls*** over here. I know you hear me. Keep it moving."

Ray Allen tells off YouTuber Lofe after being pranked

The NBA Legend crossed paths with popular YouTuber Lofe while shopping at Target. Lofe's content typically consists of prank videos, netting him nearly a million subscribers to date.

Ray Allen's trip to the store was interrupted by the YouTuber, who was recording his latest prank video. The prank involved him making fake fart sounds around customers and trying to elicit reactions from them. Allen happened to be one of those shoppers and was not happy about the joke.

The shooting guard told off Lofe as well as his cameraman, telling them that he wasn't okay with being pranked and recorded on camera. When his cameraman was asked to stop filming, the YouTuber tried to diffuse the situation with humor. He quipped:

"No, he's taking 30 pictures per second."

Later in the video, Lofe claimed to be unaware of the man being a famous basketball star. He said that his friends filled him in afterwards. Upon realizing his prominence, the YouTuber didn't blame Allen for feeling upset about being recorded. He stated:

"I feel bad, because he thinks the reason we were doing it was because he was Ray Allen."

Although they weren't targeting Allen over his celebrity status, he along with other shoppers at the store were visibly upset by the prank.
