Rapper Lil Pump reveals he nearly lost his life in horror car crash as he shares pictures of his smashed-up vehicle
Lil Pump has revealed he nearly lost his life in a horror car crash as he shared photographs of the wreckage. The American rapper, 24, whose real name is Gazzy Fabio Garcia, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share details of the terrifying incident. He explained he crashed his car four days ago while driving in a downpour of rain as he issued a stark warning to others not to drive in bad weather. Lil Pump said he would have died if he hadn't kicked his window to get out, sharing a photograph of his vehicle overturned on the side of the road. 'Guys I almost lost my life four days ago. GOD is real!! Do not drive in the rain,' he penned in a caption. 'Health is wealth I had to kick down the window to get out. If not, I was dead. On my birthday I will be going to church to thank God for all the blessings.' His comments section was flooded with well wishes from his fans as they wished him a speedy recovery. Comments included: 'Glad you're ok I can't even imagine'; 'Birthday gift from God, stay alive and receive blessings'; 'Holy f**k glad you're good bro'; 'Insane, glade you're not hurt g, I crashed in the rain too s**ts crazy'; 'Count your blessings!'; 'I'm praying for you brother you gotta thank em every day for real.' Lil Pump got his start in the music industry at 13 when his cousin introduced him to Omar Pineiro, known professionally as Smokepurpp. He then rose to prominence as part of the SoundCloud rap scene in the late 2010s before he gained mainstream attention for Gucci Gang. He signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records in June 2017. He was 16 at the time. The contract, which is said to have been worth millions, was voided shortly after he signed it due to his age. In March 2018, he was reported to have signed a $8million (£6.2million) contract with Warner Bros. His first studio album was finally released in October 2017. It was called Lil Pump and featured appearances from Smokepurpp, Gucci Mane, Lil Yachty and more. Since then he has gone on to release three albums, however his third, Lil Pump 2, which was released in 2023, failed to make it into the charts.

Lorry bursts into flames on M25
A lorry carrying tyres has burst into flames on the M25. Both carriageways have been shut near Lakeside Shopping Centre in West Thurrock, Essex, and the A13 after the lorry caught fire on the anti-clockwise side at around 12pm. The tyres have set alight and large amounts of smoke are billowing from the scene. Resurfacing is likely to be required before the motorway can be reopened. Essex Fire and Rescue are at the scene tackling the blaze. A spokesman for the fire service said: 'We are dealing with a lorry fire on M25, clockwise junctions 29 to 30. 'The lorry is carrying tyres, which are alight and are producing large amounts of smoke.' They added: 'Avoid the area if you can and take extra care if you're near the scene.' Traffic has been building on both sides of the motorway between junction 30 (Dartford Crossing) and junction 29 (Romford). A spokesman for National Highways East said: 'Due to the nature of the fire, it is still anticipated that the road will remain closed throughout the day, with resurfacing likely to be required. 'Plans are being put in place to relieve traffic caught within the closure. 'Traffic has temporarily stopped on the clockwise carriageway while fire services continue to work on scene.' Road users are advised to follow the hollow square diversion symbol on road signs. A spokesman for Essex Police said: 'The M25 is closed in both directions between junctions 29 (A127) and 31 (A13), following a lorry fire. 'We are supporting firefighters and National Highways at the scene, and the road is expected to remain closed for several hours. 'Thankfully, no injuries have been reported at the scene. 'Please check before your travel and plan your journeys accordingly. 'Check National Highways for the latest information regarding the road closure and thank you for your patience.'
