Kid Trunks | Where Are They Now? | Faking Cancer for Fame

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

The tale of Vietnamese-American rapper Kid Trunks and his rise from social outcast to becoming the self-proclaimed “best Asian rapper alive” is one that’s taken some startling twists and turns over the years -- especially in recent weeks. Not only did this underdog story nearly come to an end when Trunks attempted to take his own life only days before the release of his studio album, “Moon”, but since then, he’s seen things go from bad to worse. In the early stages of 2022, Kid Trunks would reveal that he’s been diagnosed with cancer. Not only that, a few weeks later he’d post an image of himself badly injured, insinuating that he had barely survived being shot. But here’s the thing – Kid Trunks is lying about at least one of those things. Do you know which one? If so, drop your responses in the comments down below. Everyone else, stay tuned to find out in our latest edition of Where Are They Now!
