His announcement quickly sparked reactions online. Supportive fans praised Blunts’ effort to improve his health, with one user noting, “Good on him for bettering his ways.” Others expressed nostalgia for the signature outfit while humorously pointing out missed opportunities for launching a tracksuit line for “larger dudes.” The post highlighted both the emotional and practical significance of Blunts’ decision.

Blunts’ move follows his performance at the 2024 Annual Juice WRLD Day on November 30, where he appeared on stage seated on a couch and connected to an oxygen tank. The event, held in Chicago, honors the late rapper Juice WRLD and raises awareness about mental health. During the show, Blunts addressed past criticisms, including remarks by Snoop Dogg about his health and stage presence.

Juice WRLD Day featured artists like Kodak Black, Lil Yachty, and Polo G. Blunts’ participation emphasized his determination to stay active in the music scene despite health challenges. His Instagram post and recent decisions reflect a shift in priorities, with fans rallying around his journey toward personal growth and well-being.
