The artist formerly known as Kanye West wants to introduce Dave Blunts to his personal trainer to help him with weight loss.
On Sunday, March 9, Ye shared a screenshot of his iMessage conversation with the 23-year-old Iowa rapper, who was hospitalized earlier this year. "Do you mind if I connect you and my trainer," Ye wrote in the messages. "We need you to stay alive." In response, Blunts wrote, "Let's do it, thank you Ye."
Blunts later shared a screenshot of his conversation with Ye on his account. "You my favorite rapper and writer," wrote Ye. "You free."
Blunts replied, "Thank you so much Ye it means the world to me. I am free."
Amid this, Ye also appeared to call out Rolling Loud after he heard Dave Blunts was told he couldn't perform some of his more offensive tracks, some of which use anti-LGBTQ+ slurs. "Dave Blunts gotta song that say ladyboy on it and Rolling Loud told him he can't perform it," wrote Ye in the since-deleted tweet. "But he can perform everything that's talking about guns [thinking emoji]."
Rolling Loud later clarified that they never told Blunts he couldn't perform such material, and it was actually his "team" he told him not to.
Before his recent interactions with Ye, Blunts indicated that he was planning to stop saying "offensive and vuglar things" in his music. However, he's now considering backtracking on the decision—which could have been him trolling, anyway—thanks to Ye.
"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 across 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)."
