The host immediately inquired about who shot and who was shot. Rapper 2 Low was the sole victim, and the incident visibly shook everyone.
Fans and social media commentators quickly made comparisons to Plaxico Burress’s 2008 nightclub incident, where the wide receiver from the New York Giants accidentally shot himself in the thigh with an unlicensed firearm. The incident caused OG 2 LOW to appear visibly stunned, and his reaction, captured live on camera, quickly went viral.
Social Media Frenzy
Social media platforms have been flooded with clips from the podcast, with memes, reactions, and commentary taking over timelines. Some viewers criticized OG 2 LOW for carrying a firearm in such a setting, while others were relieved that the accident didn’t cause any serious injuries.
An X User by the name of Blackkingkofi posted, “Mfs buy a strap but have no sort of training or experience using it.”
Another user by the name of Jacobmanz posted, “The sad thing is that there are so many people like this rapper here , not one single good quality , no skill to benefit . They are essentially here to do a disservice to humanity.”
Rotte Media posted “Mike D getting his viral moment… podcast bout to go up.”
A Lesson in Gun Safety
During episode 2, Low said, “Well, right now, man, we’re just being grateful that everyone is safe, everyone is good, and everyone is cool.”
Mike D added, “”We had to take a small break. We had a pop, moment, you know what I’m saying? It’s never happened on 1 on 1 with Mike D, but tonight, with my brother Tulo, you know, every time we get together, we make history. So, I guess we just made history, y’all.”
The importance of responsible gun ownership has been discussed before due to firearm accidents in public settings. Burress was sentenced to prison for his actions but later became an advocate for understanding firearm laws and ensuring proper licensing.
Looking Forward
Despite the chaos, OG 2 LOW’s music and charisma are still in the spotlight. While the incident is alarming, it could also serve as a significant moment for the rapper to use his platform to advocate for change and awareness around firearm safety. Despite being reminiscent of Burress’s ordeal, the viral moment is modernized by the immediacy and reach of social media. Fans hope that OG 2 LOW will emerge from this incident with lessons learned and may even use his voice to influence others positively.
