I have come across two sentences in a manga that is using くん in a way that I
can't seem to find any information on, in both my books and online. I am
guessing this may be some sort of slang, odd grammar or a compound of
words/grammar that dictionaries don't seem to pick up on.

「おめーはちょくちょくうちの晩飯 食いに **くん** なー」

and

「てゆーか なんで連れて **くん** だ？」

Slight edit: maybe this is some form of 来る？

What is くん doing in these sentences?
I think it is two different things in your two sentences:

  1. くる→くん (similar sound change to わからない→わかんない)

  2. shortened form of 連れていく + んだ (のだ)

Yes, I believe it's a contraction of `くる`. Although the second example could
possibly be a contraction of `連れていく` depending on the context.

I think in regular Japanese it would be:

「おめーはちょくちょくうちの晩飯 食いにくるなー」

「というか、 なんで連れていくんだ？」

I don't think in the second sentence its くる, since the る contracts to ん, if we
were to reformulate the sentence it would be

「というか、なんで連れてくるだ？」

Which I think it's gramatically incorrect. Most probably this ん is the
nominalizer の used in the pattern のだ and abbreviated to んだ. At least that's
the way I see it =)
