Ye Hooks Dave Blunts Up with His Personal Trainer: ‘We Need You to Stay Alive’
Ye wants to help Dave Blunts lose weight by introducing him to his personal trainer.
On Sunday, March 9, Ye shared screenshots of texts with the 23-year-old Iowa rapper who was hospitalized earlier this year. “Do you mind if I connect you and my trainer,” Ye messaged. “We need you to stay alive.” Blunts replied, “Let’s do it, thank you Ye.”
Blunts later posted the conversation with Ye on his own account. “You my favorite rapper and writer,” Ye wrote. “You free.”
Blunts answered back, “Thank you so much Ye it means the world to me. I am free.”
Amid this, Ye also called out Rolling Loud after hearing Dave Blunts was allegedly banned from performing his more offensive tracks with anti-LGBTQ+ slurs. “Dave Blunts gotta song that say ladyboy on it and Rolling Loud told him he can’t perform it,” Ye wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “But he can perform everything that’s talking about guns [thinking emoji].”
Rolling Loud later clarified they never restricted Blunts’ content – it was actually his own “team” who told him not to perform those tracks.
Before his recent chats with Ye, Blunts had said he was going to stop using “offensive and vulgar things” in his music. Now he’s thinking about going back on that decision—which might have been trolling anyway—thanks to Ye’s input.
“When I made the decision to change my lyrics and not be so vulgar and not use such grotesque and descriptive profanity I didn’t know people would react the way they did hell even YE chimed in on the matter that’s pretty cool but all of this talk about me not performing my song has me wondering did I make the right decision should I perform the song?” he wrote in two tweets. “Should I continue being vulgar in my music do I abandon the very thin that got me here the is… I feel like this decision is one that I need to think long and hard on (pause).”
