Rapper Dave Blunts claimed he wrote every song on Kanye West’s highly anticipated and controversial upcoming album, Cuck. The announcement on April 22, 2025, has sparked widespread discussion, especially given the album’s contentious themes and Blunts’ ongoing health struggles. Here’s a closer look at this bold claim, the evolving narrative around Kanye’s project, and the dynamic between these two artists.
In a video shared on the social media platform X, Dave Blunts addressed rumors surrounding Kanye West’s forthcoming album. He passionately clarified that the project, previously known as WW3, is not anti-Semitic, as some have speculated.
“It’s about one man going through hurt, betrayal, and pain,”
Blunts said, emphasizing the emotional depth of the music. He then dropped a bombshell:
“I know it’s not anti-Semitic because I wrote that shit, me. Every song on that album.”
Blunts’ declaration that he wrote all of the songs is quite a statement, considering an artist who just started working with Kanye in February 2025. As much as he admitted that his label may not approve of him revealing this in public, he stood by their statement, looking forward to fans enjoying the project. But there is doubt about the validity of his claim since Kanye has only verified Blunts’ contributions in some songs, not all.
Surprisingly, Blunts seemed unaware that Kanye had changed the album’s title from WW3 to Cuck just a day earlier, on April 21, 2025. This disconnect raises questions about how closely Blunts is tied to the project’s latest developments.
Kanye West has kept fans and critics on edge with his upcoming album, which has already stirred controversy before its release. On April 21, 2025, Kanye announced via X that he had renamed the album Cuck.
This shift followed months of provocative actions, including anti-Semitic statements, posting Nazi symbols, and appearing in KKK-inspired outfits.
The album, recorded between February and April 2025, features tracks with titles like “Heil Hitler” and “Free Diddy,” fueling debates about its content. The release of the music video for the single “Cousins” on April 21 further intensified scrutiny. The grayscale, glitch-heavy video delves into Kanye’s personal struggles, including his relationship with a cousin serving a life sentence for murder. A subsequent X post from Kanye on April 22, containing explicit and disturbing details about his childhood, only added to the controversy.
Beyond his musical contributions, Dave Blunts, born Davion Blessing in 2001, is grappling with serious health challenges. Weighing approximately 600 pounds as of September 2024, Blunts has faced heart failure and other complications tied to his extreme obesity. His reliance on an oxygen tank during a performance at Juice Wrld Day alarmed fans, and his openness about his addiction to lean has sparked further concern.
Despite these setbacks, Blunts has shown determination to improve his health. In December 2024, he symbolically discarded his signature purple tracksuit, pledging to focus on his well-being. However, a bout of influenza soon led to another hospitalization. On X, he remained optimistic, writing,
“I’m not giving up as long as you guys don’t give up on me.”
Kanye West has also stepped in, offering to connect Blunts with his personal trainer in March 2025, highlighting a bond that extends beyond music.
Kanye West’s association with Dave Blunts commenced in February 2025, an era characterized by Kanye’s divisive social media behavior. Blunts appeared on WW3, Kanye’s single released on March 26, 2025. Such rapid progress from their initial encounter to working on an album implies an immersive creative process, but Blunts’ role in it remains disputed.
