I’m sure some of you are familiar with my recent umm… how i put this nicely, “differing opinion” about Joaquin Phoenix’s career moves. He wants to be a rapper and well for those who’ve seen the videos, you know is like what the fuck? Is my dude on horse medication or something? Like really man, your an ill actor, but terrible at acting like a credible rap act. Anywhoo, I think his people have realized this guy is fuckin up and I read this stuff today…
Joaquin Phoenix’s rap career is all part of an elaborate hoax, according to the eccentric movie star’s closest pals. The two-time Oscar nominee recently announced he was turning his back on acting to follow his musical dreams, and he followed up the shock news with a zany three-song debut as a rapper at a Las Vegas nightclub.
During his performance on 16 January, which was captured on film by his actor brother-in-law Casey Affleck, Phoenix appeared to have a public meltdown before falling off the stage.
But pals insist the Walk The Line star knows exactly what he’s doing – and his performance was all part of an “art project”.
One close friend tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, “He said, ‘It’s a put-on. I’m going to pretend to have a meltdown and change careers, and Casey is going to film it.’
“It’s an art project for him. He’s going full out. He probably has told his reps that he’s quit acting. Joaquin is very smart. This is very conscious. He has a huge degree of control.” (IMDB.com)
What the flying fuck? Art project? Is this guy serious? When I saw the video I was like really this must be some sort of joke, probably some silly Hollywood s**t, ha-ha you guys just like to prank your fans cause you love us ha-ha. But art project? Thas a wack excuse man, “let me pretend to have a breakdown on stage for art”? You know what, now I’m now more sure then ever that the pursuit of the rap career was real. And well this is just some PR, to try to smooth it over. Well let me say this J. Phoenix, most people probably don’t care what you do, but I do. Until you come out and say yeah it was a joke and you show me the completed art project, I’m gonna consider you a rapper/actor and not the other way around. Continue rapping and making music, I’m already waiting on the album, I’ll probably even buy it. If you want man, fly over to Canada and I’ll hook you up with some of my music making people and you guys can get some real magic going. Then maybe one day you too can be on the remix of My President is Black…I think actually that wouldn’t be such a good idea.
YOU AINT FOOLIN’ NO ONE PHOENIX!!
