American sports and the ever-raging hip-hop culture have a lot in common. The fervor around both, the hype, and the fan-following and internet traction both industries generate are truly something to behold. However, when the two come together in a rather distasteful manner, as they did on Sunday, the result is equally spectacular.
Notorious rapper BlueFace was spotted inside the SoFi Stadium, indulging in some questionable activities during the game between the Rams and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday evening. A video emerged of the proceedings, which left netizens dazed, confused, and filled with rage.
Who is BlueFace?
BlueFace, whose real name is Johnathan Michael Porter, is an American rapper and songwriter hailing from Los Angeles, California. He burst onto the hip-hop scene with a distinctive and polarizing style. What sets Blueface apart is his unorthodox flow and delivery, characterized by off-kilter rhythms and a unique cadence that often challenges traditional rap norms.
His breakthrough single, “Thotiana,” released in 2018, brought him widespread recognition and became a viral sensation. The track’s catchy beat and provocative lyrics made Blueface a household name, and he quickly built a dedicated fan base.
BlueFace’s music draws from West Coast hip-hop influences, and his style is often associated with the “SoundCloud rap” movement. While some critics have debated his unconventional approach to rap, there’s no denying his impact on the genre. Since his rise to fame, Blueface has continued to release music and collaborate with other prominent artists. He remains a significant figure in the contemporary rap landscape.
What did BlueFace do inside SoFi stadium?
In a video that has since emerged from the bleachers of SoFi Stadium during the Rams vs. Steelers game, BlueFace was seen throwing money at a bunch of dancing women in “barely there” outfits, something that left the fans enraged. It appears that these women were strippers who were hired by BlueFace for his engagement celebrations inside the stadium. Earlier in the game, the rapper proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Jaidyn Alexis. If this was an attempt to gain clout on social media, it is safe to say that this one fell flat on its face.
These rather annoying activities enraged the fans inside the stadium as well as the ones witnessing them on social media. Netizens unleashed a barrage of insults towards BlueFace and with good reason, with some reading, “Annnnnnd thatâll be the last time heâs allowed in an NFL stadium.” and “You ever see someone and just see jail time in their future? This is one of those moments.”
Surely this was not one of the proudest moments of BlueFace’s rap career, and as for the backlash he received, it is safe to say that some of it was fairly deserved. Here’s hoping that he learns from the entire fiasco.
