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."
In the case of this 17-year-old rapper, I'm sure he would have said that is was "a AXIDEN."

I’m sure his eagerness to learn anything useful is why he’s acting all gangsta. Teaching? Learning? Why, dat be actin’ white!
I hope his mother doesn’t see this thread with all these terrible comments. When I was young, I witnessed young men and boys hold guns to their heads and pull the triggers as a joke. Luckily, those guns were empty, but all it takes is one mistake. Whether this young man made a mistake or committed suicide on purpose, I am sorry for him and his family.
“Damn, I just ruined my TikTok video,” Rylo said, absentmindedly.
It’s simple. She’s taking advantage of this to make money.
You know, I apologize my comment immediately above. I shouldn’t joke about this sort of thing. If a moderator is reading, please delete above.
He put the gun right to his temple and fired. No accident.
I just don’t understand what was the green light on the gun?
Darwin Award winner if ever there was one.
Fortunately, those defective genes were removed from the gene pool.

He won’t be procreating, so there’s that.
A new tik tok challenge? /s
I wonder if the famous last words were spoken...
“It ain’t loaded”
Translation?
Can I buy a vowel?
Rylo Huncho must not have watched this video.
