Rapper shoots himself to try to become famous

How far does human desire for 15 minutes of fame go? Amateur rapper Kasper Knight shot himself in the cheek and posted a video of the feat on Facebook. The intention was to become famous, and he succeeded - although many people are criticizing the way he got attention.

Knight is from Indiana, United States, and has had over 1.5 million views on the scary video, which we'll put at the end of the story. Warning: Only watch it if you have a strong stomach and are not sensitive to shocking images! Although the deal seems to be quite serious, with Knight bleeding after the shot, many people claim it is a trick.

In the publication, Kasper Knight reveals that he intended to use the footage in a future music video, but found no one who would just shoot it by shooting himself. The justification was harshly criticized: “Why shoot upright if the intention was to use the images in a clip?” Questioned most people.

Since the alleged bullet does not appear in the image and crosses only one of Knight's cheeks, many believe that he was just drawing attention with a toy gun. The rapper claims he must have swallowed the bullet as he was bewildered by the noise of the shot.
