Boonk is known for getting into some tough spots, but this is out there.

It’s all come a very long way from You’ve Been Framed!

As you wake up in the morning and begin the day ahead, you’ll most likely be sipping your coffee and scrolling through Facebook and Instagram to see what you’ve missed out on overnight; often, it’s memes and “trouble sleeping” posts.

On the daily, you’ll probably encounter a bunch of prank videos though, and if this rings any bells, then you may recognise Boonk as a familiar face, or at least have heard his name. However, you may not know that he’s experienced some incredible pain recently, or at least, way more than usual.

There are lots of social media celebrities out there, but this one really is a strange case. Who is Boonk?

Boonk Gang

22-year-old John Robert Hill is better known by his rap and stuntman name Boonk Gang.

Hailing from Miami Gardens in South Florida, Everipedia notes that the internet sensation took to social media in 2017 and quickly began to realise that he was onto something. His first video on Instagram featured him stealing a box of chicken from a Popeye’s restaurant, and for some reason, it launched a questionable career of similar antics.

The clip received over one million views and in no time at all, Hill had earned over 600,000 followers. Although, there were some issues a year later which resulted in his account ceasing.

Most people tune into his content to watch him mess with people and break the rules, but he’s also a rapper. Under the name Boonk Gang, Hill has released two albums; Gabbana Attack and Dat Boonk Gang Shit. The latter is available on Spotify, with his profile currently boasting 18,273 monthly listeners.

What happened to Boonk?

British tabloid The Sun shared footage of Boonk talking to a group of men, and despite us not being able to hear the conversation, it’s clear something bad must have been said, with one of them proceeding to punch the rapper in the face.

Boonk quickly gets away while grasping at his jaw, while the person filming reacts with; “Damn, fool got rocked… damn what the f**k”. The source notes that this video surfaced after he took to his Instagram, saying that “They broke both sides of my jaw but guess what I did?” From the videos, you can see that numerous teeth were knocked out from the punch.

A couple of days later, he shared another post: “Face fat af man… my wired together for 6 weeks. Surgery went well… thanks for all the support and love… who hating.”

Follow him on Instagram over at @1officialboonkgang. Watch the video below but warning, the footage is rather graphic:

Is he okay?

It looks like he’ll be okay in around two months, and of course, fans expect he’ll be back to doing what he does best once he’s recovered.

Although, after something like that, surely he’ll be a little warier. Yet, Everipedia notes that he shot himself in the leg accidentally before this incident, so there’s that…
