Rapper 4Xtra BLOWS OFF Fingers in Fireworks Stunt Gone Wrong!

Send us a text

When 4Xtra posted "Who wants to get blown up today?" while flashing fireworks on his social platforms, he likely never imagined he'd end up missing two fingers and temporarily blinded. Yet that's exactly what happened when his Fourth of July stunt went catastrophically wrong, leaving his family scrambling to create a GoFundMe for mounting medical bills. The internet's response was predictably divided between mockery and concern, but the underlying lesson remains universal.

This is a space about truth,clarity and conversation that
truly matter.
I'm not here to tell you whatto think, folks.
I'm just here to lay it out foryou, right?
So let's get into this.
One man.
When keeping it real goes wrong, brothers and sisters, somebody

(00:51):
eventually pays the price.
This is one of those wildmoments where clout chasing and
chaos meet fireworks, literally.
Let's talk about this rapperhere by the name of 4Xtra, and
some of y'all might know himfrom the no Jumper podcast, but
this week he made headlines notfor music, not for bars, but for
blowing up his own fingers onthe 4th of July.

(01:11):
You big dummy.
That's right, folks, I'm notexaggerating.
4xtra hopped on social mediatalking about, and I quote, who
wants to get blown up today,flashing fireworks on X like he
was about to go to war, butinstead, who wants to get blown
up today, flashing fireworks onx like he was about to go to war

(01:33):
?
But instead of lighting up thesky, he lit up his own hand.
Word is, he lost two fingersand even went temporarily blind.
Now let's stop here for asecond, guys.
This is bigger than one guy'saccident.
This is a real example of howego and performance and poor
judgment, especially whencameras are rolling, can
literally cause you a piece ofyourself.
And now his sister's out heredoing damage control, launching
a gofundme to help cover medicalcosts.
She says he's full of life andenergy and honestly, I believe

(01:54):
that I don't think this wasabout malice.
It was about not thinkingpurely.
It was not thinking at all.
And, as expected, the internetcame with zero chill.
Some folks was quick to, youknow, quick to joke on them, you
know I mean, uh, others wereconcerned, but here's the real.
This didn't need to happen,folks.
It didn't need to happen.

(02:14):
I mean, we all know the wholesituation that happened with
plexico and countless situationsthat has happened, you know,
with people blowing their handsoff and stuff with these
fireworks, and now with thesecameras in play, we're living in
an era where everything iscontent but family not.
Everything is worth the post.

(02:34):
We got to remember this, guys.
Some things are better leftunlit, whether it's clout, ego
or trying to entertain.
It's not worth your health,it's not worth your peace.
We see this on the internet allthe time, guys people recording
fights, people recording ortrying to entertain.
It's not worth your health,it's not worth your peace.
We see this on the internet allthe time, guys People recording

(02:55):
fights, people recordingarguments with their spouses.
Everything is not worth.
You know content worthy, allright.
So let me ask y'all have you orsomeone you know I hate to sound
like one of those TV lawyershave you ever been injured on a
job?
So let me ask y'all again, y'lawyers, have you ever been
injured on a job?
So let me ask y'all again y'allhave you or someone you know
ever had a firework scare andwhat's your take on this?

And you know again, guys,everything and especially to a
lot of all of these influencers,quote-unquote and content
creators, guys, everything isnot meant to be public

(03:39):
consumption.
You know what I mean.
I've seen everything on thesesocial media platforms, to
murders, sex violence.
You know arguments, fights.
Everything is not publicconsumption, folks.

everybody's a quote, unquote,star or influencer, of course we

(04:01):

than actual network televisionat this moment.
