The rapper's Instagram feed only has a few posts, so many of his followers stay updated through his stories. On Dec. 3, he put up a video of his hand dripping blood onto a sidewalk. He had a paper towel or a napkin on his hand as well, which was also saturated in blood.
It appears as if the injury is a deep laceration to Ski Mask's right pinky finger. In the video, a diagonal slash can be seen extending up from the bottom to the middle of his finger.
The cut was still actively bleeding as Ski Mask posted the content, and the videos are certainly not for the faint of heart (or stomach). During his narration, Ski Mask shared that the cut may have been deeper than the video indicated.
"I can see my bone type s--t, I can see my bone type s--t," the musician explained.
