Rapper Dave Blunts, known for his viral performances and unique style, responded to Antonio Brown after the former NFL star made a disparaging comment online. Brown, referencing a recent performance photo, compared the rapper to Star Wars character Jabba the Hutt, saying, “N*** really is the black Jabba the Hutt.” The comment quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from fans.
Blunts, whose melodies echo golden-age Texas hip-hop, fired back through OurGeneration’s social media page. He referenced past allegations of sexual assault against Brown, involving his former personal trainer. The civil case was settled in 2021, with Brown denying the allegations throughout. Blunts’ response brought renewed attention to Brown’s legal troubles, escalating the feud.
The controversy also placed Blunts’ personal struggles in the spotlight. The rapper, who reportedly weighs over 500 pounds, announced plans to lead a healthier lifestyle, including retiring his signature purple tracksuit. His style, heavily inspired by Texas hip-hop legends, has garnered both criticism and admiration from fans and fellow artists, including Snoop Dogg.
The online exchange has sparked debates about body shaming, public accountability, and the role of social media in amplifying feuds. Fans remain divided, with some criticizing Brown’s initial comments as offensive and others questioning Blunts’ response.
As both Blunts and Brown navigate their public personas, this feud serves as a reminder of the complexities of online discourse in the social media age, where personal and professional boundaries often blur.
