Rapper shoots himself in face in Indianapolis for video

NEW HAVEN, Ind. (WANE) – A northeastern Indiana rapper took a disturbing and dangerous chance with his own life recently in Indianapolis. He shot himself in the face intentionally. He said he did it all to get attention. As questionable and shocking as it might seem, it has apparently worked, because millions of people around the world have watched the video online.

“I’m usually pretty serious about what I’m saying when I make music,” the rapper Kasper Knight said.

One of Knight’s lyrics says “a bullet to the face will take me to another place.” Knight couldn’t get any photographer to capture what he wanted to do for a music video– shoot himself in the face. So, he did it himself with an iPhone camera.

Since he posted it on Facebook this week the views are in the millions.

“I like dark-themed music and I want to do horror rock I wanted something actually horrific,” Knight said.

It’s up to the viewer to decide if what they watched is horrific, but a lot of people did call it dumb. “I find [my critics] weird that they wouldn’t endure minor trauma to potentially gain a massive profit,” Knight said.

That’s exactly what Knight is looking for. He’s hoping the attention around his video will end in a record deal.

“I just don’t want to go back to work,” Knight said.

In the video you can see Knight’s immediate reaction after shooting himself. He headed straight to the hospital where he got stitches, and found through an x-ray he had swallowed the bullet. He said the gun shot wasn’t the most painful part.

“My ears were hurt, but they hurt bad the whole time,” Knight said. “Especially the one on the side of the gun shot. So, that was painful.”

This happened in Indianapolis, and police there have opened an investigation. An officer there said an act like this can result in felony charges of criminal recklessness especially if it’s found that the person did it for their own amusement. He called it one of the ‘most reckless and inconsiderate’ things he’s come across as a police officer.

Everyone who pulls dangerous stunts does it to get attention - from Evel Knievel to the morons in the Johnny Knoxville show "Jackass". There was a post to FR this morning about some guy who planned to jump from an airplane without a parachute. I said it there and I'll say it here - it doesn't pay to encourage these types. They'll just learn that they can get the attention they crave acting like idiots, and watching idiots in action crosses from entertaining to pathetically sad very quickly.

Rules say that if you survive, you have to be removed from the gene pool, i.e. no longer be able to reproduce.

From an ER I spent time at 8 years ago, a kid came in with a gunshot to the cheek.

He also did it himself. He said it was a 22 and he thought it would hurt as much as a piercing.

The point-blank muzzle pressures from the revolver blew out a 1 inch slice of skin.

The bullet knocked the top off of 2 teeth.

The bullet then shredded his tongue.

Instead of travelling through the other cheek, it went out of his mouth and lodged into his girlfriend who was sitting next to him.

To the contrary, his new found street cred will have wimmens lined up around the block as willing receptacles for his dna.

As we speak, my 8 y/0 grandson is at the ER with a BB gun wound to the wrist. BB fired at close range by a friend. ER says orthopedic surgeon will have to remove it Monday due to tendons, veins and other things in the way.

Grandson thinks it’s cool, but is glad it wasn’t a real firearm.

‘Rappers’ and their noise are repugnant to the extreme. It’s really disgusting to see so many honkeys buying it, playing it in their radios with the volume turned up.

It is yet another assault on polite society.

Don’t feel bad, he’s young. I saw a college kid do the same thing.

Yes, but I’m going to wait a while before I take him shooting.
