"how "suspect" was that farnsworth/puff relationship 10 years later?" Wed Jun-18-14 09:31 PM by cherry_coke
at the time this was attributed to outrageous 00's 1% rap opulence.
"omg puff has a man servant LOLOLOL"
but looking back it's just straight up... questionable.
"farnsworth" was trying to be famous, for nothing exactly in particular. the details on how he met or came to puff's attention are murky. i believe he was originally a dancer/choreographer, looking for his "big break", he pitched himself to puff in a nightclub or something and puff took a "liking" to him.
so essentially puff "discovered" some gay dancer from atlanta, moved him to new york and began featuring him in his videos in costume as a "butler".
...just saying.
from 2001-2004, puff made it a point of showcasing him in some varying degree in his videos similar to well, a hired 00's video chick. puff made it a point of attempting to push to make him famous like he'd wanted. i mean puff even tried to give him a music career, which fizzled because he couldn't actually rap or sing. then they have some sort of fall-out, "C.O.L.O.U.R.S." gets shelved indefinitely from a major release and puff and farnsworth seemingly never talk or are seen together again. like that farnsworth bentley is just another odd footnote of 00's rap folklore.
i'm pretty sure the last time he was seen or heard from outside of maybe the deep recesses of Btwitter was that picture of him, kanye, taz and co. at that italian fashion event for rich homosexual europeans "pitti uomo". (i think that's where that picture was from, either there or paris fashion week...)
anyway
...just a fucking weird "arrangement" when you put it into perspective.
he was like puff's amber rose.
the only other thing i can think of that rivals it on based on "odd-factor" was when jay-z (at around 35) was "roommates" with an nfl player and they shared an apartment in lower manhattan. yet they were never photographed together or mentioned each other. another "odd" moment.
