Fireworks Fail: No Jumper’s 4Xtra Blows Off Half His Hand on the Fourth of July
Just when you thought your holiday BBQ was chaotic, No Jumper podcaster 4Xtra reminded everyone what not to do on the Fourth of July. The LA-based street-rap figure and co-host on Adam22’s popular podcast reportedly blew off half his hand while playing with fireworks — and yes, there’s video.
In a now-viral Instagram clip, 4Xtra can be seen hyping himself up while handling a firecracker. He shouts, “I’ma blow a n**ga up!” and seconds later — boom. It wasn’t a joke. The firework exploded in his hand, leaving him with a severe injury and fans completely shook.
According to multiple outlets, the damage was so bad that half his hand was blown off. The video is as horrifying as it is reckless — and unfortunately, it’s real.

Was It Worth the Clout?
The internet is absolutely roasting him. Reactions range from disbelief to straight-up mockery:
- “This is what happens when you try to flex for Instagram.”
- “Rookie move. Why would you ever light fireworks in your hand?”
- “It’s 2025. Haven’t we learned by now?”
And honestly? They’re not wrong. Fireworks are dangerous. Period. No one’s impressed when you treat them like party tricks — especially not the emergency room doctors trying to sew your fingers back on.
From Podcast Drama to Real-Life Trauma
If 4Xtra’s name sounds familiar, it might be from his heated on-air moments with other No Jumper cast members — including his viral confrontation with 607 Unc. But now? He’s trending for something far more serious.
While he hasn’t released a statement, fans and followers are already sending messages of support — and more than a few tough-love warnings.
Even Adam22, the No Jumper head honcho, reportedly acknowledged the incident, calling it a brutal and avoidable mistake.
What Happened?
According to what’s been reported so far:
- 4Xtra lit a firework while holding it
- It exploded in his hand before he could throw it
- The result was a traumatic injury, emergency treatment, and potential long-term damage
There’s no word yet on whether he’s had surgery, but injuries like this often require multiple procedures, physical therapy, and possibly permanent impairment.
Hard Lesson, Big Consequences
This isn’t just about one guy making a bad call. It’s a reminder that the line between fun and foolish is razor thin. Fireworks are not props for Instagram clout. They’re literal explosives.
And let’s be honest — when you’re a public figure with a growing platform, these stunts come with a cost beyond the hospital bills. This could change his career, his health, and his ability to work or even podcast, depending on how serious the injury is.
So What Happens Now?
There’s been no official update on 4Xtra’s condition, but based on the video and the initial reports, he’s in for a long recovery. That likely includes:
- Multiple surgeries
- Months of rehab
- Time off from podcasting and other work
And while the internet can be brutal, there’s also a layer of sympathy — especially from fans who want to see him bounce back. Still, there’s no denying that this incident has become the latest cautionary tale of doing it for the Gram… and paying the price.
