A 17-year-old rapper in Virginia has fatally shot himself while filming a TikTok video playing with a gun, according to reports.
The teenager uses the name “Rylo Huncho.”
According to a report from Hip Hob Vibe, “Rylo Huncho’s real name has not been disclosed. However, he was known for his energetic performances and promising music career…he was filming content for his TikTok account when the gun discharged. So, this resulted in a fatal injury.”
It remains unclear if the shooting was intentional or an accident.
Before he pulls the trigger, Huncho can be heard saying, “F*ck y’all, n****.”
