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.”

Agreed.
I dont want to see the video...but form what I read, it seemed like it was intentional.
This is the third teen suicide I read about this week, and because I have kids myself, its close to home. I can only imagine his mother’s pain.
Idiot.

You have a keen eye for detail….and an acerbic wit
It is the start of a great trend maybe.
Died a failure...never saw how many “likes” and “reposts”.
Kyrie eleison.
Those are easy to understand rules for those with IQ’s above 20. Seriously, a person has got to be dumb as a fence post to do something that stupid. The good news is he can no longer pass the stupid gene to any newborn.
The last thing that ever crossed his mind was his left ear.
Where was his baby daddy?
And be sure that the area behind the intended target is clear.
He didn’t think the gun would fire unless he was holding it sideways.
Stupid people die in stupid ways.
Darwin Award candidate.
Rylo Huncho = Rushin Rouletto
Jus’ keepin’ it real.
I wonder if he was singing that Queen song:
"Mama, I killed a man. Put a gun up to his head, pulled the trigger and now he's dead..."
Relatives said he had depression so suicide can’t be ruled out.
They’ll put a mercury switch in the newly mandated Ghetto Smart Gun™️ to protect future consumers.
He doesn’t get any mention by the cousin. Could be nobody knows who the daddy is. And that’s another very, very sad thing.
His rapper name was going to be Darwin tha god
