Snake attacks rapper and leaves hand covered in blood as music video goes wrong

American rapper Lil Pump has posted terrifying footage of a snake biting him as he was filming a music video.

The shocking footage shows 19-year-old Pump – real name Gazzy Garcia – sitting on a white staircase before being handed the reptile.

But when takes hold of it, the snake immediately turns round and sinks its teeth into the rapper’s hand.

He screams in horror and jumps away, before coming to the camera and revealing his injuries.

“Look at my hand, bro,” he says as blood pours from his hand.

“I think it bit f*** out of me.

“Yo, I just got bitten by a snake.”

The rapper’s video has been seen more than 4.2million times since it was posted to Instagram yesterday.

He captioned it: “I hope I don’t die.”

Among those to comment was Justin Bieber, who wrote: “Bro, can’t f*** with snakes.”

Others were worried for his health, with one saying: “Hope you’re alright.”

And a third added: “That is so savage.”

Lil Pump rose to fame in 2017 after he released his single "Gucci Gang”.

That peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 which saw it go triple platinum.

It is not the first time people have got slightly too comfortable with snakes.

A reptile was filmed biting an idiot’s head after he bizarrely decided to taunt it back in September.

He managed to survive, but others have not always been so lucky.

Footage emerged in July of a deadly cobra killing a man with one bite.

A King cobra is able to kill an Asian elephant thanks to its venom and also kills about 50% of the humans it bites.

But it may not be the deadliest of all snakes.

A saw-scaled viper is responsible for more human deaths annually than any other snake, partly because it is found in populated areas.
