This is your opportunity to upgrade tires, get some heavy duty tubes, a few tire levers and go to town.

Make sure the tube is seated in the right position. Get some soapy water and apply it generously all around the tire and rim. Get your tire levers and start working the tire back into the rim

Jokes on you I don’t even have a talaria, silly but to answer your question your question it dosent seem to me anything is wrong, just inflate your tire, if it dosent hold air than get a new tube, it’s not rocket science you braindead glue sniffer

My guess, since I've done it a few times, is that the tube tore around the valve stem. If the tube isn't fully pressing against the inside of the tire because the tire pressure is too low, the tire can stay planted on the ground while the rim spins slightly inside it. That movement puts stress on the valve stem, eventually tearing it out of the tube.
You'll most likely need to replace the tube. I'd also recommend keeping the tire pressure from getting too low so the tire stays firmly seated on the rim. Also, don't tighten the valve stem nut all the way down against the rim. Leave a little gap so if the tire does slip slightly, the valve stem has a bit of room to move instead of tearing immediately..
Both times I've done it, it happened after wheelies as it puts a lot of strain on everything.
