Rapper 4Xtra reportedly injured his hand in firework explosion during Fourth of July celebration

LA rapper 4Xtra burned his hand in a fireworks explosion during Fourth of July festivities. He posted a video on social media showing himself handling illegal M-80 fireworks during the celebration. According to the American Pyrotechnics Association, explosives like M-80s, Cherry Bombs, and Silver Salutes have been federally banned since 1966 due to their excessive pyrotechnic flash powder content.

In the clip, he can be heard saying

"I'm gonna blow a n***a up."

Hours after the video had been posted, No Jumper, where the rapper works as a podcaster, posted an image of the rapper's mangled hand on social media, mentioning that the

"4xtra has blown off his hand with a firework".

Adding,

"Prayers up for 4Xtra."

The rapper is yet to comment or share an update on the situation.
