Texas rapper 2 Low went viral after a gun went off in his pocket during a live taping of a podcast interview for 1 on 1 with Mike D.
About 47 minutes into the podcast, 2 Low accidentally fired his weapon while reaching into his pocket, shocking the crew as well as viewers.
Reaction filled the room as the gun went off, someone behind the camera exclaiming, “Ah, what the hell!” Host Mike D, keeping calm, looked around and joked: “Who shot who? Did anyone get shot?”
2 Low, clearly uncomfortable, quickly pulled part of the gun out of his pocket before quickly stuffing it back in. The interview continued shortly after, with Mike D calling it a POP moment, saying he and 2 Low “just made history.”
No one was injured, but the incident sparked heated discussions online. While some found the moment humorous, critics criticized the rapper’s indiscretion.

One user commented: “Irresponsible gun ownership. Why is it in your pocket like that?” Others shared more profound insights, such as one paramedic who noted the alarming frequency of gun-related injuries in similar cases, “So I code trauma records and I met a lot of young men with ballistic injuries/[gunshot wounds] to the groin.”
Another user posted: “If you don’t know how the safety system works, you probably shouldn’t own one.”
This unexpected moment overshadowed the podcast’s intended goal of 2 Low’s career journey. The rapper, known for his early success with Rap-A-Lot Records and his iconic verse on the Ghetto Boys’ hit “Bring It On,” had planned to discuss a return music after a chaotic legal battle with record label owner J. Prince. .
Accidental shootings caused 549 gun deaths in 2021, according to the Pew Research Center.
