US rapper QUITS tour after being rushed to hospital as he reveals health battle
RAPPER Dave Blunts has quit his tour after he was rushed to hospital due to serious health concerns. The 23-year-old, who has previously sparked concern with fans over his weight, has had to take a step away from the spotlight whilst he recovers. 5 Blunts was on his North American tour but has now cancelled his remaining shows. The rapper took to Instagram to share a message with his fans whilst seated on a hospital bed and hooked up to an oxygen machine. He began: 'This message is for my fans. 'I love my fans so very much. You guys have turned my life from poverty into luxury in less than a year. 'And I feel indebted to you guys for that. I now can take care of my family, my friends, and my mom and everybody that I love because of you guys who listen to my music. He continued: 'Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish the tour and because I'm in the hospital and I'm sick and I'm hooked up to oxygen and all this **** going on, I have to cancel my tour. I'm very sorry." Blunts stressed that taking care of himself was now a top priority for his career and future. He said: 'That **** saddens me. I'm not going to be able to sleep for a little bit because of this. But it's time for me to prioritise my health. 'I need to focus on eating right, exercising, and getting better because that **** is for my fans and not only for my fans, for me. I need to focus on me. R&B superstar Chris Brown arrested at five-star hotel over bottle attack at London nightclub 'So, I'm going to be taking a brief hiatus from the internet, from music, and truly just focus on exercising, eating right, and bettering myself. Not for the fans. Not for the ******. Myself. 'So, I love y'all, and I'm sorry I gotta cancel the tour,' he added. Throughout the two minute video he said he will avoid drama with his rivals. Originating from Salt Lake City Blunts first gained attention in the underground rap scene through his raw and unapologetic lyrical style. His most notable songs include 'The Cup' and 'Talking to the Sun,' which gained viral traction on platforms like TikTok in 2024. Last year, he sparked concern after he attended an event dedicated to the late rapper Juice Wrld. The young rapper, who weighed 500lbs at the time, performed at the event while seated and was aided by an oxygen tank. The rap star weighed 500lbs at the time and many were quick to say how he "needs to get healthy" whilst others begged for him to be "saved". A second then said: "Save this man please," while a third wrote: "Bro needs to get healthy." A fourth then said: "He needs to shed a lot of weight for his health." Blunts continues to maintain his honesty about his health struggles, and recent hospitalisations as he hopes to make a return to the spotlight soon. 5 5

Did Kanye West confuse Dave Blunts for Druski amid Diddy Lawsuit? Viral texts debunked
A viral screenshot allegedly showing Kanye West mistakenly confronting rapper Dave Blunts over allegations against comedian Druski has taken over social media. However, recent reports suggest the texts were fabricated for engagement, fueling further speculation online. X user shared the alleged screenshot on March 10, writing, 'Kanye reveals texts with Dave Blunts about Druski in an Instagram post that is now deleted. This is actually CRAZY.' The post, which quickly racked up over 4.6 million views, appeared to show Kanye asking Blunts, 'Why am I seeing these allegations about you? I thought you were different. Delete my trainer's number.' Kanye reveals texts with Dave Blunts about Druski in an Instagram post that is now deleted😳 This is actually CRAZY 👀 — red🩸 (@lottareds) March 10, 2025 Blunts, allegedly confused, responded, 'Ye, that's not me. That's Druski.' Kanye then seemingly realized the mistake and replied, 'Oh. Nevermind. How much weight have you lost since I connected you with my trainer?' However, the post was soon debunked. Community notes on X pointed out that Kanye's real Instagram handle is @ye, not @kanyewest, as seen in the viral image. Additionally, Ye had not made any such Instagram post or story, and his account was reportedly wiped clean. Furthermore, the user who first shared the post describes themselves as a 'concept artist' and 'satire' account. Despite the confusion, an actual DM exchange between Kanye and Blunts did surface. On March 9, Kanye shared a screenshot of their conversation, where he praised Blunts' music and offered to help with his weight loss journey. 'Bout to listen. Do you mind if I connect you and my trainer? We need you to stay alive.' Blunts responded gratefully, 'Let's do it. Thank you Ye.' Ye is helping Dave Blunts lose weight by introducing him to his trainer 'We need you to stay alive' — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) March 10, 2025 In another now-deleted post, Kanye defended Blunts after Rolling Loud allegedly barred him from performing a track containing controversial lyrics. 'Dave Blunts gotta song that say ladyboy on it and Rolling Loud told him he can't perform it. But he can perform everything that's talking about guns,' Ye wrote. Rolling Loud, however, denied the claim, stating that it was Blunts' own team that made the decision. Meanwhile, Druski has been named in an amended lawsuit against Diddy, where he faces allegations of drugging and assault. The comedian has since denied the accusations, calling them 'outlandish.'
