Rocking a purple tracksuit and seated on a couch, Blunts didn’t hold back. According to Metro UK, he fired shots at Snoop Dogg, 53, mid-set in response to recent online jabs. “Snoop, you think you funny? You don’t know what it’s like to fight for your life every damn day. I got demons, and a tank to prove it,” he declared. Per Atlanta Black Star, Blunts’ words came after Snoop had joked that he should “put down the chicken wings and Tata chips”.

The performance prompted mixed reactions online, with some fans calling it “morbid” and “tough to watch” while others labelled it “one of the saddest things” they’d seen.

Blunts sparked further commotion online after posting a photo from the concert pictured next to his petite girlfriend Isabella, with social media users again calling attention to his size. “The love of your life is clearly food, bro,” one user wrote, while another commented, “Bro needs to get healthy.” Despite this, Blunts remains unfazed.

Blunts reportedly weighs 500lbs – around 230kg.
