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.”

That lyric was about gay sex and AIDS... IMHO.

The misnamed “Great Society” program destroyed black family life in America generationally.

That’s what happened with Terry Kath of Chicago.

AIDS didn’t begin to become a “thing” until the early ‘80’s.

And secondly, since when does the New York Post get away with referring to this rapper as boy? I thought that was not good form.

Well, if we would have just learned to pick our own damn cotton...

Who posted the video? If he was already dead, he couldn’t do it himself. Does Tik Tok have a self-uploading feature or something?

We’ll know if it was ‘accidental’ when his record sales come in. If they went way up, then it may just be marketing. After all, Tupak surged into the BIG TIME right after he became One-Pack upon being shot in a ‘sensitive’ location.

I remember not long after the George Floyd riots there was a video of Candace Owens having a debate with a couple of other Black folks in a forum mediated by some Blackguy who seemed to have the respect of the people. The whole thing was just Blacks talking to other Blacks. The moderator made sure she got a chance to say her piece. When she talked about the need of the Black community to acknowledge that many of their problems come not from “whitey” but from fatherlessness within Black homes, everybody in the place was nodding their head in agreement that fatherlessness is a huge, huge problem.

I think a lot of Blacks have been used and exploited. I can’t help but grieve for the mess they find themselves in and how impossible the way out seems to be for them to see. I wish there was a way to cut through the great divide and let them know how much we hate seeing what is happening and grieve for the innocence lost.

I can’t help but think of how God is FOR us, even when we were hopelessly lost. He is not against us; He wants only good for us. He gave His own life; how would He not also give anything He could that would give us abundant life? The hard part, I think, is to convince people that God -and we His followers - are FOR them, that we genuinely want their good and genuinely grieve their hurts.
