A shocking moment was caught on camera as a Texas rapper accidentally fired a gun through his pants during an interview.
The incident occurred during an appearance on One on One with Mike D, where rapper 2 Low was discussing his career and future plans.
The dramatic event unfolded approximately 47 minutes into the segment, as host Mike D touched on the topic of individuals making “choices” in their lives.

In the footage, 2 Low is seen nodding in agreement while slipping his hand into the front pocket of his jeans.
Suddenly, a gunshot rings out, causing an abrupt halt to the conversation.
“Who shot who?” Mike D asks, visibly alarmed, while scanning the room. “Somebody got shot?”
The rapper appears momentarily stunned, grimacing awkwardly as someone off-camera responds: “No, we’re good.”
2 Low then removes what seems to be part of a gun from his pocket before returning it, as audible reactions from the off-screen crew reveal their shock. “Ah, what the f***!” one crew member exclaims.
A few tense moments follow, with 2 Low asking if everyone is alright. When asked about his own condition, he glances at his leg and replies: “I hope.”
After the incident, Mike D took to YouTube to clarify what had happened, stating: “X Rap a lot artist 2 Low almost (gun emoji) himself on camera. Thank God everyone was OK.”
The rapper later addressed the situation on Instagram, writing: “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.”
As the clip spread online, reactions were mixed.
Many viewers expressed concern over the apparent lack of gun safety, while others speculated the incident was a publicity stunt. Some, however, found the whole thing quite funny.

"Exemplary host right there making sure there's no dead air," one person wrote.
A second said: "Mfer needs all his weapons confiscated. Clearly doesn't know the basics to gun safety."
A third wrote on YouTube: "Man, that host has seen some stuff! Hears the shot, doesn't panic, doesn't scream, immediately checks on everyone else. After assessing the situation, just starts rapping again LOL."
Despite the close call, no injuries were reported.
