A RAPPER and podcaster reportedly lost two fingers in a horror July 4 fireworks accident.
The influencer 4xtra, who co-hosts the No Jumper podcast, asked his fanbase who wants to get blown up in a video that went viral on social media.
He was seen carrying some unlit fireworks in the clip.
“Who wants to get blown up today,” he said in the video.
“I’m going to blow your a– up! I’m blowing somebody up today.”
4Xtra was left injured following the fireworks accident, his sister Emily said in a GoFundMe page that has since been created.
Emily paid tribute to her brother, whose real name is Resan.
“Resan is someone who lights up every room with his humor and energy,” she said.
A picture of 4Xtra kneeling on the ground with his injury blurred has been shared on the No Jumper official X account.
He reportedly lost his vision for a few hours, Adam22, the owner of the No Jumper podcast, said.
