In a recent incident at the United Center in Chicago during Juice WRLD Day 2024, rapper Dave Blunts made waves by calling out Snoop Dogg during his performance at the tribute concert. Known for his humorous persona and laid-back demeanor, Snoop Dogg responded in his signature playful style, turning what could have been a tense confrontation into a light-hearted exchange.
Dave Blunts’ bold remarks
The drama unfolded during Blunts’ performance, where the 500-pound rapper, performing from a couch while using an oxygen tank, took aim at Snoop Dogg. Addressing the crowd, Blunts expressed frustration, challenging the audience about his seated performance. He then confronted Snoop directly, implying that the veteran rapper was trying to poke fun at him. Blunts made it clear that he felt misunderstood, claiming that Snoop had no idea what it was like to fight through difficult circumstances daily. His remarks quickly caught the attention of fans and media, stirring up a lot of buzz about potential tension between the two stars.
Snoop Dogg’s playful response
Instead of getting upset or retaliating, Snoop Dogg chose to take the situation in stride, showcasing his ability to handle conflict with humor. He posted a video on Instagram where he watched Blunts’ performance and laughed along with the crowd. Snoop expressed his amusement, calling Blunts by affectionate nicknames and saying that he wasn’t upset at all. Snoop joked that despite attempting to make amends, Blunts was still going off on him, making light of the situation and showing his laid-back attitude toward the whole ordeal.
Rapping along with a twist
In another display of good-natured humor, Snoop Dogg filmed himself rapping along to Blunts’ song “The Cup,” but with a humorous twist of his own. While Blunts originally sings about not being able to put down his cup, Snoop modified the lyrics, turning it into a lighthearted joke about his own affinity for blunts. Snoop made it clear that he wasn’t against Blunts in any way, encouraging him to keep performing and doing his thing, all while humorously comparing their respective habits. This playful banter between the two artists highlighted their mutual respect and understanding.
The background of the feud
The roots of the tension seem to stem from a comment that Snoop Dogg made on social media after a viral video of Blunts performing while seated. In the comment, Snoop teased Blunts about his size and the performance, implying that Blunts’ chair might not hold up for long. This playful jab sparked Blunts’ fiery response, which led to the back-and-forth between the two artists during the Juice WRLD Day concert.
