Popular rapper Dave Blunts recently made headlines with his performance at Chicago’s United Center during the fourth annual Juice Wrld Day. The 23-year-old rapper, known for his heavyset frame, appeared on stage connected to an oxygen tank, weighing over 225 kilograms. Despite his physical limitations, Mr. Blunts sat on a couch throughout his performance, paying tribute to the late Juice Wrld, who passed away from an overdose in 2019.
Addressing the audience, Mr. Blunts expressed his dedication to honoring Juice Wrld and his own personal struggles. "I do this for Juice. I do this for me. We keep going no matter what," he proclaimed. "I got demons, and a tank to prove it. Don’t come for me when you have been blessed enough to be here that long; respect the struggle," he added.
While the video of his performance went viral on social media, garnering praise from fans for his dedication, many expressed concern for his health. Some fans pointed out that Mr. Blunts seemed to be struggling to breathe due to his weight, urging him to prioritize his well-being. "He needs to get healthy ASAP or he won’t be performing at all," one user commented, highlighting the urgency of the situation.
In addition to concerns about his health, Mr. Blunts also found himself embroiled in a feud with fellow rapper Snoop Dogg during his performance. Responding to Snoop Dogg’s comment urging him to "put down the chicken wings," Mr. Blunts fired back on stage. "Chicago! Do y’all have a problem with me sitting down on this stage? Exactly – so, get the f**k off my d***, Snoop Dogg. I see the big dog talking. Snoop, you think you funny? You don’t know what it’s like to fight for your life every damn day," he declared.
In response, Snoop Dogg attempted to defuse the situation, stating, "Leave me alone, cuz. I’m trying to enjoy my little life over here. I’m with you, dawg. I ain’t against you. I can’t put down the blunt; you can’t put down the cup."
As the controversy surrounding Mr. Blunts’ performance continues to unfold, fans and critics alike are watching closely to see how he navigates the challenges ahead. With concerns for his health and the ongoing feud with Snoop Dogg, the rapper’s future in the industry remains uncertain.
