A rapper from LA has reportedly lost two fingers after an accident involving fireworks on July 4. The incident occurred shortly after he posted a video where he joked about throwing fireworks into people’s houses.
4xtra, who also co-hosts the ‘No Jumper‘ podcast, blew two of his fingers off when a firework exploded in his hand, according to the New York Post. No Jumper posted a short video on X on July 4. The footage shows 4xtra holding a pair of small fireworks in his hand while he jokes about what he would do with them. “Stop playing, you see these. I’m throwing them in your house. I’m blowing them at ya,” the rapper says while fiddling with his red and brown firecrackers.
Later on the same day, another host from the podcast, @adam22, posted from his private X account. He wrote, “4xtra has reportedly blown his hand off with a firework.” He also posted an image, which appears to have been removed by the website. Per the New York Post, it was a picture of 4xtra’s hand injury.
The Rapper’s Co-Host Clarifies His Injuries
Adam22 posted again on July 5, clarifying what he said in his previous post. “I’m hearing that 4xtra only lost 2 fingers not the whole hand,” He said. “Also he was blind for a few hours but apparently his vision is back.” It’s unclear if the fireworks 4xtra showed off in the video were the ones that caused his injury.
Following the incident, a GoFundMe was set up by Emily, the rapper’s sister. She doesn’t reveal any more details about what happened, but says she started the fundraiser as “medical care can be incredibly expensive and add up very fast.” The post continues, “4xtra is someone who lights up every room with his humor and energy. 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. A link to the fundraiser was also posted on 4xtra’s official Instagram page.
