Congratulations 2 Low —you’ll now live in infamy on the internet for something that could’ve severely injured you, or worse.
Last week, during an appearance on “1 on 1 W/ Mike D,” the Houston rapper recounted his rise in the rap game, including signing to Rap-A-Lot Records when he was only 12 years old and being featured on the Geto Boys’ 1993 record “Bring it On.”
But discussing his hip-hop career wasn’t the highlight of the interview since — the artist nearly injured himself during the podcast recording.
Nearly 47 minutes into the podcast as Mike and Low were chopping it up, the Houston rapper is seen nodding his head while reaching his hand into his pocket before a gunshot sounds off, surprising everyone on set, including Low himself.
Shocked, Mike looks around the set before asking, “Who shot who? Somebody got shot?”
Sitting awkwardly, Low makes an embarrassed face before someone off-camera states, “No, we’re good.”
After a collective minute of silence, Low later asks, “Everybody good?”
When asked by Mike if he was not hurt, Low said, “I hope.”
Mike then confirmed that nobody was hurt, and broke into a brief, playful freestyle about the moment of nervousness.
Watch below:
“This has never happened on One on One with me at the Mike D, man,” he later said. “Where you at Low?!”
“Well right now,” 2 Low responded, “we’re being grateful of the fact that everybody safe, everybody good, everybody cool.”
When promoting the podcast episode on social media, 2 Low wrote on Instagram, “U said u was starting season 2 off wit da Big guns. Da main thang we all safe negativity sells n get dem talking so run it up fam.”
Plaxico Burress can relate to what Low is going through. In November 2008, months after catching the game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl 42, the star wide receiver accidentally shot himself in the right thigh while at a nightclub in New York City.
He later turned himself into the authorities and was charged with criminal possession of a handgun. He ended up serving 20 months in prison.
