Big Pun Was So Overweight He Fell Asleep Mid-Conversation & Ran Out Of Breath After Rapping Each Bar

Fredro Starr details his experience with Big Pun and his weight issues.

Biggie smalls to Brooklyn is what big pun to the bronx is..🇵🇷

[@coreyrowe4119]

Big Pun: "I just lost a hundred pounds, I'm trying to live" - quite possibly the saddest line in the history of rap :(.

[@BillCosbyTouchedMyDoodle]

Fredro definitely wasn't exaggerating about Pun falling asleep mid-rap. In his biopic "Still Not a Player," Noreaga said that Pun would be having a normal conversation and just fall asleep.

I saw Pun perform at House Of Blues in Orlando. No disrespect..and RIP Pun. But we thought he was gonna drop dead up there. Barely doing every other bar. And those deep breaths were so loud. He would take 5-10 minute breaks between each song. Where the DJ would just play whatever records. And Pun only did his slower songs (beware,not a player,exc) Still glad I got to see him before he passed. Still a legendary MC

That title is wild😂😂😂

[@marlonmorris5975]

I think its narcolepsy when you fall asleep mid conversation

[@jefeking2117]

Studio looking like rikers island is crazy

[@chad.jewell]

Narcolepsy was the issue causing him to fall asleep mid sentence. Not necessarily related to his weight

[@TreMakaveli]

He went crazy on Johnny Blaze & capital punishment 🔥🔥🔥 RIP PUN 🕊️

[@thecunninlynguist]

He still had some crazy breath control before he got too fat/bad...and he still one of the best to do it.

[@mindyourbizness]

Thats wild cuz pun was rapping like a mufucka down here in virginia. His breath control was crazy, no breaks. So this is interesting

[@CslimBlockTG]

RIP Pun 👑

We’ll never witness songs as hard as Shut Em Down ever again.

[@carltonjohnsonesl]

Capital punishment is one of the best rap albums ever ❤

[@tripledair]

I was in the Studio with Bizzare from D12 10 yrs ago. He’d fall asleep mid convo too. Weight + Lean.

[@ez-duz-it]

Big Pun was so talented Capital Punishment was a classic, I also liked the second album Yeah Baby as well, RIP PUN

[@natashaflowers2299]

Yesss I had the pleasure of meeting Pun. And he is sooooo right. He would fall asleep in the middle of a convo and wake up and jump right back in like nothing happened 😂 RIP Big Pun🙏🏽🕊 cool dude
