A teenage rapper accidentally killed himself while filming a video on social media after he pointed a gun at his head and pulled the trigger.

The rapper, 17, was found dead in Suffolk, Virginia, on May 15, police confirmed to The Post. Cops said they believe he died by an “accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound” to the head.

Police would not confirm the name of the deceased teen, but separate footage circulating on social media showed Suffolk-based rapper Rylo Huncho singing into a camera while dancing with a pistol with a green laser sight.

The boy appeared to switch off the weapon’s safety and point it at his head, when a gunshot rang out and and he was thrown from view as the camera dropped.

“He was her only son!” A cousin of the rapper wrote in the post. “She was a single parent but took care of her son the best she could.”

The aspiring rapper became the expiring rapper. How is he going to follow up the performance of a lifetime?

SUICIDE not an accident.

This qualifies him for a Darwin Award.

He violated several of the basic rules of gun safety.

A gun is ALWAYS loaded.

ALWAYS check and clear the chamber.

Don’t point it at anything you don’t intend to shoot.

Keep your finger off the trigger until you plan on firing the gun.

>> he pointed a gun at his head and pulled the trigger.

He died from a flesh wound?

I can’t imagine what his mother is going through. It’s easy to say she probably contributed to the problem, but whether she did or didn’t she still lost him. Losing a child is one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through. I pray that God will hold her in His loving arms.

Possibly he had never fired a live round before The One.

I noted at the moment the pic was taken, the green laser light had yet to appear on the other side of his head.
