This is the shocking moment a man deliberately shot himself - leaving him gushing blood from a hole in his cheek - simply because he 'felt like taking a bullet to the face'.

Kasper Knight, an Indianapolis rapper who goes by the name as Kasper Tha Phantom, said he performed the extreme stunt for a music video.

Even though he looked in tremendous pain as he held his hand to his cheek and spat blood, Knight said he has been shot several times before and this wound was just a 'four out of 10 on the pain scale'.

The man, who identifies himself on Facebook as Kasper Knight, shot himself in the face just for fun

Armed with a handgun and a mobile phone, Knight filmed himself as he fired a gunshot through his right cheek in the backseat of a car.

His video, posted on July 22, has gone viral on the internet, with millions of views, but he has been condemned and ridiculed by viewers.

After shooting himself, Knight grimaced and spat blood as someone else in the car asked if he shot himself.

'Are you hurt bad?' the man asked.

'Yes,' responded Knight as blood stained his teeth and dripped from his mouth. 'I don't give a f*** about nothing anymore. I swallowed the bullet, s***.'

'If I die, f*** it,' he added moments later before laughing and wiping blood all over his face as he was driven to a hospital.

Knight took aim at his critics, including his family and friends, and said he doesn't care what people think

In a Facebook post on July 17, Knight wrote that he had been shot in the face and asked his friends not to text him because the police had taken his phone.

Daily Mail Online has contacted Indianapolis police for comment.

Knight posted the video after his phone was returned to him, writing that he wanted to shoot himself for a music video but no one wanted to film it.

'So I did it myself since I felt like taking a bullet to the face,' he wrote. 'Anyway, this was really nothing. I've been shot a couple times before and this was like a 4 out of 10 on the pain scale after the initial impact.

'I was slightly disorientated after the blast,' he added. 'That's because my ears were ringing/in pain. It was hard to focus on sound and although I assumed that I swallowed the bullet I wasn't quite sure.

'The last time that a bullet ricocheted through me it destroyed an organ and part of another.'

Knight said he has been shot before and described this wound as a 'four out of 10 on the pain scale'

Knight took aim at his critics, including his family and friends, and said he doesn't care what people think about him or the stunt.

'Your care for my life will never supersede my disregard for it,' he wrote on Facebook. 'I knew it was possible that the bullet might bounce back and puncture my throat but it didn't matter.'

A day later, he posted another video showing the wound after it had been stitched up.

'Nasty, though, ain't it?' he said before pointing a handgun at the camera.

Viewers were quick to condemn Knight for shooting himself just for fun and for posting footage on the internet. He is pictured above in Facebook photos
