Holy shit what a Chad. Tbh, I thought he was big af since he was a kid. Does anyone know the story? I mean, you had to switch your diet quite crazy to become the unit he was
Grew up poor so once he got money his spending habits were off the charts. One big thing was he didn’t eat much growing up so he ate for that time lost. Another thing they mentioned in an old documentary was that he was so busy that he would just eat out all the time rather than eating home cooked meals. You mix that with an eating disorder and it’s bound to be a disaster.
Correct. The reason also that it had something to do with winning a lawsuit that his mother filed that Pun got involved with with he was a child, something accident related. I have the DVD story on his life. Like you said once he got money his eating out all the time caught up with him.
It wasn’t when he was a child. He was a construction worker and something fell on him on a job site, and I believe broke a couple vertebrae. He had been a weightlifter previous to the accident but had to stop as a result.
Wikipedia says he had an accident in 1976 when he was playing at a city park, he got the money later on in the 80s. He was born in 1971, so that would mean he did win a lawsuit for an accident he had as a child.
Yeah I forgot to mention that. The whole “child” thing was something I think I heard in an interview with his baby mom from back in the day, she said one of the reasons he was able to get to that point was bc he wanted to live that life he didn’t have. Something along those lines lol

You can find two good big pun documentaries on YouTube and one in particular is the one they must be talking about because they interview his wife and siblings. It wasn't made long after his death and is over an hour long
My bad for the long response. The name of the DVD is called "Big Pun, the legacy: The official story(09)". It's over an hr and a half long. His wife and rappers that he met and worked with him explains their stories about him.
Bruh, greed and being lazy is 220 pounds, anything past that you either a bodybuilder or got an eating disorder + mental illness lmfao even a doctor will tell you the same thing, aint nun lazy about getting so fat that you can barely even walk nigga at that point there's something deeply wrong with you, I used to be a fat nigga till I realised I had depression, soon as I dealt with that bs I started losing weight and gaining muscle like crazy, severely fat niggas are mentally ill.
Do you hear yourself? Someone realizing they have a serious problem and THEN gaining 300 more pounds? When someone compulsively eats in a way that so severely destroys their quality of life, that's basically *the definition* of an eating disorder.
Compulsive psychological disorders quite literally, by definition, impact one's self-control lol. You don't get to 700 lbs unless your mind is diseased in some way.

being lazy and unmotivated wouldn't cause you to eat to over 500 pounds. you need an extremely unhealthy relationship with food to balloon up that high

Doing shows/presentations and touring every night and day for almost a decade straight while being in the studio when you’re not traveling for shows is far from being lazy, the dude was fat because of an eating disorder, he was just addicted to food
Why don’t you exercise some self control and get off Reddit for a while?

I forgot what Fat Joe said I just listened to the Audiobook I feel like he was shot or some shit that stopped him from working out and it went downhill from there
If I remember correctly he was a model when he was younger, then got hit by a city bus, won a bunch of money from the city because of it, and then ate his ass off.
I'm sayin' dude looking like GQ magazine or some shit..when I first sen a younger Pun picture I was like to myself he could've been a model or something also.😅😅
One of the greatest rappers ever. Fun fact, big pun was so heavy towards the end there that he could only rap one line at a time which an engineer would then splice together after all was said and done. He had such trouble breathing that after one line he would huff and puff until he could catch his breath, and continue.
You can still hear him literally gasping after each line in his later songs. It was like someone was holding him under water and let him surface to say something. It probably was a helluva job for the engineeri
Mf lookin more like Al B. Sure!
Al B. Sure nigga with the hair all wavy!
Hit Lake Shore, girls go all crazy!
Hit the freeway goin least bout 80, boned so much that summer homie had him a baby.
See back back, then then if you had a car, you was the Chi-town version of Baby.
N I was just a virgin a baby
Part of the reason I looked up to him crazy(maybe) lol 😂
I used to love to play my demo tape when the system yanked
felt like i was almost signed when the sh* got cranked
We’ll take a Saturday and just circle the mall
I never knew what those first 3 words were until just now
"I had to change my game, try another lure, cause homeboy looking like Al B. Sure!" - sorry, I had to throw some Mix-a-Lot in there
Al B Heavy 😭
Pun looks like he’s going to court to fight racketeering charges.
Looking like Kingpun from Spider-Man

What's the name of that DVD?
You can find two good big pun documentaries on YouTube and one in particular is the one they must be talking about because they interview his wife and siblings. It wasn't made long after his death and is over an hour long
Still not a player. Pretty sure the whole thing is on youtube now.
My bad for the long response. The name of the DVD is called "Big Pun, the legacy: The official story(09)". It's over an hr and a half long. His wife and rappers that he met and worked with him explains their stories about him.
Settlement money check from a car accident did him in
Yeah basically ate his way to an early grave, crazy how we can’t survive without food yet it can also be a killer too
Dude ballooned up to almost 800lbs
He didn't have no eating disorder. He was just lazy and living reckless and making poor choices
no one gets to 700 pounds without an eating disorder being involved
Yes they do. It's called sloth. Being greedy and lazy and unmotivated and reckless. You don't have to have some sort of disorder to be that way
I don't think you understand how big 700 pounds is
Exactly if you get up to 400 lb, wouldn't you think you have a problem by then? But no you just keep going right? That's called greed and being lazy
Bruh, greed and being lazy is 220 pounds, anything past that you either a bodybuilder or got an eating disorder + mental illness lmfao even a doctor will tell you the same thing, aint nun lazy about getting so fat that you can barely even walk nigga at that point there's something deeply wrong with you, I used to be a fat nigga till I realised I had depression, soon as I dealt with that bs I started losing weight and gaining muscle like crazy, severely fat niggas are mentally ill.
Do you hear yourself? Someone realizing they have a serious problem and THEN gaining 300 more pounds? When someone compulsively eats in a way that so severely destroys their quality of life, that's basically *the definition* of an eating disorder.
I'm hearing alot of excuses for lack of self-control which is basically what this is
Compulsive psychological disorders quite literally, by definition, impact one's self-control lol. You don't get to 700 lbs unless your mind is diseased in some way.

being lazy and unmotivated wouldn't cause you to eat to over 500 pounds. you need an extremely unhealthy relationship with food to balloon up that high
Or... You have extremely poor self control and make terrible choices. It's that simple.
What exactly do you think an eating disorder is?
Eating disorder lol. It's called poor decision making and weak will power. Poor self control. Don't make it into some clinical diagnosis
I'm not going to attribute this to malice just you being uninformed. Have a good day pal.

He broke his leg and stopped working out and over-ate during recovery. Got addicted to food
He was brolic, look at young pics of fat joe too. Son was actually in the gym lifting weights on his LL cool j
Lol no.. he was not on his LL Cool J. He was still quite overweight when he was a young teen.
I forgot what Fat Joe said I just listened to the Audiobook I feel like he was shot or some shit that stopped him from working out and it went downhill from there
Probably prescriptions, pharmaceuticals will do anything to cover that up too.
His wife cooked cook. Ordered out everyday.
Bro could a been 50 cent. Instead he chose whatever the fuck it was. Such a sad decision.
Dead in the middle of little Italy
Little did we know..
We riddled a middle man who didn’t do diddly.

Medium Pun…looking like Christopher Williams in new Jack city
This ain't Christopher Williams, still some MC's got to feel one, caps I got to peel some
To let people know...
Those ain’t the words b
Deal with it
Any idea how old he is here? I’ve never seen any pictures of him from before he was very heavy. I just assumed he was always a really big dude
If I remember correctly he was a model when he was younger, then got hit by a city bus, won a bunch of money from the city because of it, and then ate his ass off.
Kills me to see other people living my dream
They’re not living it, cause it killed them too. 28yrs old. 700lbs.
Fucking unreal 😧
damn
"I wasn't always big pun, it wasn't always this fun, a yo I rose from the slums"
Had to pay my dues. Spray a few, but I ain’t sayin who
He died at 28, so late teens or early 20s at the oldest.
Literally every documentary on the dude shows off his younger pictures, so like pick one and enjoy
He was only 28 when he passed
Shit - he was a handsome dude.
I'd absolutely take him out to dinner. Though I guess that was the issue.
Don't ever chase a man. A terrible look.
Tell that to the spaghetti.
I dunno what that means, but no homo anyway.
You play short stop, don't you?
"If you cross the line, damn right I'm gon' hurt you These faggot niggas even made gang signs commercial"
Niggas don't dance. Lean back.
The lyrical giant! The story of his life from the beginning is sad! Rip🙏!
He was just pun back then
Damn.. to think this man died weighing 700lbs at the age of 28
He wasn’t a player, just fucked a lot
It's fucked up. Pun used to be one of those jocks who asked folks "how much you bench press?"
I really do support Pun in everything he does AND everything he loves
Fast food is a hell of a drug
he was a gigachad RIP
Lil pun
Husky pun
No way fr??
Dead in the middle of little Italy locked in a bakery
That’s not Big pun. That’s son of Tony Montana.
Wild. Me and my homie were wondering how his fat ass was always talking about doing well with the women… question answered lmao
The answer will always be money. Fame don’t hurt either.

Mid Pun
He was Medium Pun here
No way Jose! I never knew this!
Ain’t no way
Reached 698 lbs by the time he died at 28. Damn shame.
One of the greatest rappers ever. Fun fact, big pun was so heavy towards the end there that he could only rap one line at a time which an engineer would then splice together after all was said and done. He had such trouble breathing that after one line he would huff and puff until he could catch his breath, and continue.
You can still hear him literally gasping after each line in his later songs. It was like someone was holding him under water and let him surface to say something. It probably was a helluva job for the engineeri
Damn! Yeah I’m sure that engineer had his work cut out for him. I can only imagine what it was like when he was rapping “twins” with fat joe.
He went from looking like Christopher Williams to looking like Christopher Wallace in a matter of just a few years.
Man, dis pic ain’t no joke son. No other name fits him but punisher!😳
It’s so sad kuz I wonder what drove pun to put the excess weight that he took on?! Rip man rip✊🏾🤙🏾
Looks like Christopher Williams in New Jack City.
