The epidemic of wanna-be celebrities going to great lengths to rile up publicity and gain that 15 minutes of fame seems to have no end in sight. One rapper opted to shoot himself in the face to garner some attention for his struggling career.
“I swallowed the bullet…if I die, fuck it,” says Rapper Kasper Knight, who kept talking in his Facebook post after shooting himself through the cheek. The video has served its assumed purpose, receiving over a half a million views as of this writing. There is widespread speculation that the shooting was a prank, since the bullet never pierced the opposite side of the rappers face. Also, the bullet would have been much too hot to be immediately swallowed after being discharged. Knight had a quick response for those questioning the integrity of the shooting.
Ironically, Kasper Knight is quoted as saying “You guys are a mess. We got black people blaming my facial mutilation on whites, whites blaming it on blacks, conservatives blaming it on liberals, liberals blaming the gun, random fucks blaming it on Mexicans, and conspiracy theorists asking for proof even though we have a full blown unedited video on deck.” Unedited and unbelievable, it’s yet to be proven if the video and following Facebook rant helps the rappers career.
