Controversy Sparks as Singer’s Oxygen Tank Performance Backfires, Snoop Dogg Responds

The controversial performance by Dave Blunts at Juice WRLD Day in Chicago has left fans and the hip-hop community in a whirlwind of emotions. The emerging rapper, known for his rebellious style and provocative lyrics, took the stage hooked up to an oxygen tank. While this alone was enough to raise eyebrows, the drama escalated when Blunts publicly called out Snoop Dogg, sparking a firestorm of reactions.

The Blunts vs. Snoop Dogg Feud

Blunts, wearing a purple tracksuit, didn’t hold back during his set. As he sat on stage with the oxygen tank beside him, he asked the crowd, “Aye, Chicago! Do y’all have a problem with me sitting down on this stage?” After the audience responded with “no,” he threw a savage jab at Snoop Dogg, shouting, “Exactly. So, get the fk off my dk, Snoop Dogg.”

But the attacks didn’t stop there. Blunts went on to call out Snoop’s comments about his weight. “Snoop, you think you funny? You don’t know what it’s like to fight for your life every damn day,” he snapped, referencing his struggles and the oxygen tank beside him. “I got demons, and a tank to prove it. Don’t come for me when you’ve been blessed enough to be here that long; respect the struggle.”

This fiery response was Blunts’ direct retaliation to Snoop Dogg’s Instagram remark, where the hip-hop legend jokingly suggested Blunts needed to “put down the chicken wings and Tata chips,” also making light of his weight and performance style.

The Aftermath: Fans’ Reactions to the Oxygen Tank and the Beef

Despite the controversy, Blunts’ music continues to resonate with many, with some fans expressing heartbreak over his physical state but also recognizing his talent and emotional depth.
