Infamous last words.

A rapper and podcast host suffered a severe hand injury in a horrifying Fourth of July fireworks incident after he shared a video online, showing himself holding fireworks and joking about using them to blow someone up.

“Who wants to get blown up today,” rapper 4xtra asks in the Independence Day post. “I’m going to blow your a– up! I’m blowing somebody up today.”

That somebody, it turns out, was himself.

The rapper and co-host of No Jumper, a podcast and YouTube show, sustained a ghastly injury when one of the fireworks exploded in his hand. 

4xtra now has two fewer fingers, according to social media reports.

A post on the No Jumper podcast’s X account said the rapper had “reportedly blown off his hand with a firework.”

An image purporting to show the grisly injury was also circulating on social media.

No Jumper owner Adam22 clarified the extent of 4xtra’s injuries in a separate post from his personal account. 

 “I’m hearing that 4xtra only lost 2 fingers not the whole hand,” he wrote. “Also he was blind for a few hours but apparently his vision is back.”

In other parts of his video 4xtra makes more playful threats. 

“Dead homies, who wants to get blown up today,” he asks. 

“Stop messing around, take a look at these,” he says, as he rolls a pair of short fireworks in his hand, one is red and the other is tan. “I’m tossing these into your house. I’m aiming them at you.”

“Off the bat,” he screams, just as the video ends.

4xtra’s sister, Emily, started a GoFundMe page to help with medical expenses from her brother’s ghastly injury. 

“On the 4th of July, 4XTRA was involved in a fireworks accident,” states the page. “As many are aware, medical expenses can skyrocket and accumulate very quickly.”

“Resan is someone who lights up every room with his humor and energy,” Emily wrote, using the rapper’s real name. “If you’ve ever laughed with him, shared a moment, or simply care about his well-being.”

“Any support-from donations to prayers or even just sharing this-means the world to us,” she added. 

More than 45,000 people visit the ER on July 4 and 5 each year, according to the Pew Research Center — which means that out of all the holidays celebrated by Americans Independence Day is the one with the highest number of daily medical emergencies.

“This time of year, we see big increases in traumatic injuries and heat-related illness,” Dr. Ryan Marino, M.D., an ER doctor and associate professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.

“While fireworks accidents and injuries get most of the attention, there are far more falls, broken bones, head injuries and car accidents, just to name a few.”

Dr. Robert Biernbaum, an emergency medicine physician in Fairport, New York, who is also the chief medical officer at WellNow Urgent Care, said that July 4th is a busy holiday for emergency rooms and that fireworks are a big contributor.

“We see everything from minor hand and facial burns to severe trauma from fireworks exploding in close proximity,” he said. “Improvised or illegal fireworks tend to cause the worst damage.”
