Mural of Rapper Dumbfoundead Vandalized


The iconic mural of rapper Dumbfoundead painted on the side of Catalina Liquor in Koreatown in Los Angeles, has been vandalized-- that's according to a social media post from the artist. A picture of the vandalism, shows letters spray painted across it. On July 16th, Dumbfoundead thanked painter Joseph Yun Lee and Catalina Liquor on Instagram for "wanting to keep the mural up as long as they did." 

The mural was originally painted for the rapper's 2016 music video "Murals," a visual off his "We Might Die" album. Last year, he tweeted that he was getting a least one tagged photo a day from fans who had taken a picture in front of it.

Dumbfoundead is now asking fans to send pictures or videos they had taken in front of the mural to muralsforever@gmail.com or tag him, so he can use the images in a video.








[🚨UPDATE: Send any pictures or video of you with the mural to muralsforever@gmail.com or tag me I’m making a little video! 🚨] Just found out the mural of me painted by @joeyunlee almost three years ago was vandalized this morning but it’s all good that’s just the way shit goes and it stayed up way longer than i thought it would so im honored! Thank you Catalina Liquor for wanting to keep it up as long as they did, Joseph Yun Lee who painted this and always helping to beautify the neighborhood, Koreatown (the greatest town in the world) and of course the thousands of people around the globe who took pictures with it and tagged me!🌎❤️ oh yea if you search ‘dumbfoundead’ or ‘koreatown’ in the GIF section on IG story there is a sticker of the mural made by @mmmikkalous KTOWN POR VIDA! ❤️🙏
