Rapper Kid Trunks ‘shot’ as he makes urgent plea to ‘put the guns down’ only weeks after post about ‘cancer diagnosis’
RAPPER Kid Trunks has suffered a severe wound to the face. It’s unknown what caused the graphic wound but Trunks suggests that he may have been shot.
He posted a gory photo of himself in a hospital bed with a deep gash across his chin on Instagram. In the caption, Trunks asks people to pray for him.
"Almost died 2 times and it’s only been 3 months of 2022,”
Trunks also mentions his reported cancer diagnosis from earlier this year as he calls for people to stop gun violence.
“Put the guns down man this s**t is real out here. Also everyone please move accordingly & militant everywhere & anywhere you go be safe but most importantly stay dangerous!”
Trunks, an original member of the Members Only rap collective with the late XXXTentacion, revealed his cancer diagnosis in early January 2022.

In an Instagram story, the rapper shared that he received the news after testing positive for Covid-19.
“I’ll keep it short I really don’t gotta explain nothing to do nobody but I will!” he wrote. “I caught Covid-19 & while in the process of them checking my body they found I had pneumonia cancer aka chest cancer.”
Despite the life-threatening incident, Trunks has remained active on social media. He posted a screenshot of a FaceTime call with musician Noah Cyrus.
“@noahcyrus one of the fewest human beings I’ve met in this industry that genuinely mean the world to me. Thanks for the love,” Trunks wrote in the story.

“F**k all the negativity and let’s get to the money family!” he wrote on his story, asking people to reach out to him on SoundCloud, Spotify and Instagram.
The self-proclaimed “best Asian rapper alive” released his first major project, Super Saiyan, featuring appearances from Ski Mask The Slump God, A$AP Ant, Robb Bank$, and others in 2018.
In 2020, he released his latest project, Moon.
