Was going to go for a simple ride tonight. Noticed this strange wear on my tire right next to the rim. Is this bad/a big deal?

Update: thank you all for your quick replies! I will be not be riding it and change it out. My rim is definitely very slightly bent, I can feel it when I ride. Definitely need a new bike since I know I’m too heavy for this bike.

    Bead is torn. It’s holding on by the backside cotton strands. If you don’t mind crashing, take a spare tire and tube and just send it.
