Pen drive trolling me..

OK, what kind of sorcery is this?
It's an 8GB Sandisk Cruzer Blade and it says "File too large" for a 4.5GB file.
It's a genuine product which came in a sealed package, not some fake drive.
Please help.

its normal.. the current file system in FAT32, it does not support files more than 3.99GB to be transferred to the drive.

Format your drive with NTFS file system.

Since NTFS was never built to work with removable media and can cause data corruptions, I would suggest using exFAT. Supported by Windows natively and perfect for removable media.
