A number of fans expressed their concern for the health of rapper Dave Blunts after he needed to bring an oxygen tank with him onstage for his seated set Saturday at the United Center in Chicago.
Blunts was among the performers in the Windy City for the 4th Annual JUICE WRLD DAY in memory of the late rapper Juice WRLD, who died at the age of 21 on December 8, 2019.
A number of X/Twitter users commented on their health concerns for the 23-year-old rap artist after a video of his outing went viral.
Some people said Blunts, who is estimated to weigh more than 500 pounds, needed encouragement from the people around him to take better care of himself.
‘It’s crazy how he got to this size with his team just watching,’ one user said of Blunts.
One fan said that ‘people around him need to tell him the truth, this is not a flex,’ to which a fan responded, ‘I don’t think he thinks it’s a flex. He just doesn’t give a f***.’

Multiple people said they were upset seeing Blunts in such poor shape so as to necessitate the use of an oxygen tank.
‘This breaks my heart,’ said one user. ‘This young man is missing out on so much in life. Food addiction is real. Sugar is the main culprit.’
Another said, ‘I couldn’t enjoy myself at the show. The idea of having fun while digesting the personal Issues he must [suffer] from internally would just be too much.’
Some said they feared for the Davenport, Iowa native’s mortality, saying he was ‘literally suffocating’ to the point that he needed to have an oxygen tank nearby.
‘Bros about to visit Juice,’ said one user, another said, ‘Honestly sad homie is gonna die.’
One user added, ‘That might be his last time performing on a stage if he [needs an] oxygen’ tank.
A user took exception with Blunts’ material, which makes multiple reference to drug use, while at a memorial show for Juice WRLD, whose 2019 death was linked to narcotics.
‘Performing bout taking drugs at a concert that carries the legacy of someone who died from a drug overdose,’ the user said. ‘Maybe I’m lost.’

Said one fan: ‘I pray that he is surrounded with the right team that will be honest with him and help him get his health on track!’
Blunts addressed both his posture, the oxygen tank and a growing rift with Snoop Dogg (after the rap legend, 53, took jabs at Blunt in regards to his size), according to Metro.
‘Chicago! Do y’all have a problem with me sitting down on this stage?’ Blunts asked the crowd, which said no in response to his question. ‘Exactly – so, get the f*** 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.’
In a November 9 post, Snoop Dogg shared a clip on Instagram of Blunts seated onstage during a previous performance.

‘We’ll put down the chicken wings and Tata chips Nefew and that chair gone break soon get to the end of the cup,’ Snoop said.
During his set, Blunts said of the late artist Juice WRLD: ‘I do this for Juice – I do this for me.’
In reference to the oxygen tank, Blunts said, ‘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.’
