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 found out he had cancer after testing positive for Covid. The Florida rapper kept the news to himself until his account was allegedly hacked in January and a disturbing post was shared, sparking death rumors.
After the incident, Trunks explained, "My account was hacked posted on then the post was deleted u guys. I wanted to keep silence about my situation but I'll explain to you guys later today...I was near death but I didn't die! Thanks you all for being there and caring. I caught Covid-19 & while in the process of them checking my body they found I had pneumonia cancer aka chest cancer."
Meanwhile, despite the life-threatening incident, Trunks has remained active on social media. He posted a screenshot of a FaceTime call with musician Noah Cyrus on his Instagram story. Trunks wrote, "@noahcyrus one of the fewest human beings I’ve met in this industry that genuinely mean the world to me. Thanks for the love."
