“I do this for Juice. I do this for me. We keep going no matter what,” said Mr Blunts while addressing the audience. “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,” he added.

“This isn’t even about just being overweight, he cannot hard breathe because his body is suffocating him at this point. I hope he gets some help before too late. He’s got a great voice when he can use it,” said one user, while another added: “This is absolutely heartbreaking.He needs to get healthy ASAP or he won’t be performing at all.”

Blunts and Snoop Dogg beef
Meanwhile, during the performance, Mr Blunts also lashed out at Snoop Dog who recently told him to “put down the chicken wings”.
“Chicago! Do y’all have a problem with me sitting down on this stage? Exactly – so, get the f**k 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.”
Snoop Dogg replied: “Leave me alone, cuz. I’m trying to enjoy my little life over here. I’m with you, dawg. I ain’t against you. I can’t put down the blunt; you can’t put down the cup.”
