Rapper Jon James is killed when an airplane stunt for a music video goes wrong
(CNN)Jon James, a Canadian rapper, was killed during a music video shoot when a stunt atop an airplane wing went wrong. He was 34. During a music video shoot in Vernon, British Columbia, on Saturday, the rapper -- whose full name is Jon James McMurray -- was walking on the wing of a Cessna as it was in flight. He walked too far out on the wing and made the small aircraft go into a downward spiral, his management team said.

Duhh, wing walking is done on Top of the wing! This guy was apparently going out the door of a jump plane and holding on to the strut. Not at all what the moron media, (it is cnn), portray.
No doubt Faux News had a meticulously researched, peer-reviewed, and thoroughly footnoted piece about it, right?

Maybe this will start many other brash rappers to be copycats.
If you don't like rappers, don't listen to their music. I don't, so I don't. Simple.
Walking on a wing of a Cessna... UGH! Not something that I would recommend...
In a video that appears on the page from the story he is shown sky-diving from a Cessna. Given the statement from his producer that he “held on as long as he could”, I suspect he first walked out on the wing strut and then just hung onto the strut with his hands, trying to get as high up/far out as possible, not realizing the leverage of his weight and drag that far from the CG.
I think an experienced jump pilot would have rejected that idea, so maybe it wasn’t planned that way.

Since the plan was to wingwalk and then jump off using a parachute and since he practised for some time before the fatal accident, perhaps that video is from one of the practises when he intended to use the parachute?
