The Texas rapper almost got fired live during a recent YouTube interview. The dramatic incident happened while the artist, 2 LOW, was talking about his career and upcoming projects on the One on One with Mike D podcast. The live recording was in progress, and at about the 50th minute, a shot rang out, leaving the interviewer shocked and scared. The footage, which has gone viral, shows 2 Lowe reaching into his front pocket, where the weapon was stored, and the gun went off.

Visibly puzzled by the sudden event, the host asked: “Who shot whom? Has anyone been shot?” In response, the person behind the camera assured: “No, we’re fine.” 2 Lowe was also shocked: the shot left a tiny hole in the bottom of his pocket. The 46-year-old musician then checked the gun before putting it back in his pocket.

Addressing the crew, 2 Low asked if anyone in the room was hurt. The OG rapper then turned his attention to his leg and said, “I hope you’re okay.” The video was posted on YouTube with the caption – “X Rap a Lot Artist 2 Low almost shot himself on camera. Thank God everyone was okay.”

A clip of the gunshot incident was dropped on X with the caption, “This rapper is going viral for shooting himself in the foot during this interview.” The post soon went viral, with viewers expressing their concern about the potential consequences of being so irresponsible. One asked: “Why did he try to pull a gun during the interview?”

Another user shared, “When I carried a firearm I never, ever, carried a round (semi-auto). Revolvers, no problem, because they are double-action.’ “This is why not everyone should be allowed to carry firearms,” ​​offered another.

The person argued, “But I thought the rapper knew how to use a gun in real life.” Referring to the rapper’s reaction, the user asked: “He got lucky and he really missed his foot? I didn’t see any blood and he looked more confused and scared than offended.” The shocking footage has already garnered more than five million views on the microblogging platform.
