Video shows the teen displaying his handgun to the camera before pointing it at his head and pulling the trigger.

On Thursday, 17-year-old Virginia-based rapper Rylo Huncho fatally shot himself while filming a TitTok video.

In the video posted to his Instagram stories, Huncho was seen flipping the barrel of a handgun and holding it by the grip to show off the flashlight with a built-in laser sight. He then grabbed the grip, turned the gun towards his head, and said, "F**k Y'all N*****s" while pulling the trigger.

In a GoFundMe set up by Hucho's cousin, she explained that "Suicide/accidental was the cause of his death," but they were "still trying to figure out why."

"My aunt recently lost her 17 year old son from a self inflicted gun wound to the head," the post read. "He was her only son ! She was a single parent but took care of her son the best she could."

"Please keep my family in your prayers," she concluded.

According to Times Now, Huncho's friend, Twin Porter, broke the news to fans on his Facebook account. In a post he said, "to get a text saying he passed away is heartbreaking and to hear the mean things y’all are saying about Railey is so wrong on every level please god give his mother the strength to deal with the devastating pain she’s in."

In response to the video on X, many pointed out the need for training on the safe handling of firearms. Youtuber Amiri King said, "This is why I don’t advocate for cornballing out with firearms to look hard."

"I wish they force taught gun safety/firearm curriculum in ‘the hood’ and/or high crime areas," he added. "I think teaching 2A and weapon respect would put a dent in dumb s**t like this."

That does NOT sound “accidental”. That was direct suicide.

It’s sad this happened, but why the GoFundMe?
If a funeral cannot be afforded, won’t The State bury that person in an unmarked grave? Or was that ever true?

I know his Mom could use the money, but somehow I doubt if this late Rapper was ever providing much money for the household. He seemed a bit deficient in the brain department, to play with a loaded gun like that. If it was intentional suicide, there is usually some very personal speech the shooter gives first, to explain what he is about to do.

“His handgun”

Pretty sure seventeen year olds can’t legally own handguns . . .

While he personally may not have dodged a bullet, I can’t help but think the country just might have.

Even by hiphop standards this is really really stupid.

I've been saying the same thing for years only in English. I guess that's where I went wrong.
