Accused snowball slinger insists he was ‘enjoying the moment’ — as he shamelessly promoted his YouTube account

The man accused of throwing icy snowballs at New York’s Finest during a park melee told The Post on Friday that he was just part of a crowd  “enjoying the moment’’ that day  — as he shamelessly promoted his YouTube account.

“It was meant to be fun, that’s all,’’ said suspect Gusmane Coulibaly, a Bronx 27-year-old who goes by “Diaperman’’ while supposedly pulling pranks, recording them and posting them on the platform.

“People of all ages were there just enjoying the moment,’’ said Coulibaly of the incident — which sent two cops to the hospital during the social-media-touted snowball fight Monday that drew hundreds of people to  Washington Square Park.

“Fun doesn’t have an age limit. I’m 27, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy life,’’ he wrote during the exchange with The Post on Instagram.

His no “age limit’’ comment was apparently a nod to Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s now-infamous defense of the snowball-fight participants as just “kids’’ having fun.

“There were people older than me there too. It wasn’t about age — it was about being outside and having a good time,’’ Coulibaly said.

“I came with the mindset that we’d have fun and go home. That’s it,” Coulibaly wrote. “And film for my channel on YouTube: lifeofdiaper,” he added — getting in the plug for himself.
