Blueface Net Worth (Money & Salary)

What is Blueface’s net worth?

As of now, Blueface, an American rapper and songwriter, boasts a net worth of $4 million. He gained notoriety in 2018 when his music video “Respect My Crypn” became a viral sensation. His most successful track to date, “Thotiana,” released in 2019 and featuring Cardi B and YG, peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Legal Issues & $13 Million Las Vegas Lawsuit

Blueface has encountered several legal troubles over the years. In late 2018, he faced arrest after shooting at a car belonging to a man who attempted to rob him at a gas station, resulting in a felony charge for shooting at an occupied vehicle. He was released on bail soon after. The following year, he was arrested once more, this time for felony gun possession.

In October 2022, charges of attempted murder and shooting landed Blueface in the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. He later made a plea deal that resulted in a three-year probation period. Should he encounter legal issues during this time, a 2-5 year prison sentence will be enforced automatically.

The incident took place at Euphoric Gentlemen’s Club, a Las Vegas strip club, the owner of which sued Blueface for the revenue loss caused by the club’s closure due to the shooting. On October 23, 2023, the club owner secured a $13 million judgment against him, which included $12.6 million for lost revenue, $200,000 in “lease damages,” and $84,000 in employee expenses. Blueface did not attend court to contest the ruling and lacked legal representation. As of January 2024, his debt had escalated to $14 million due to interest and penalties, as he had made no restitution payments.

By mid-January 2024, Blueface was re-arrested for breaching the terms of his probation related to a 2021 assault incident in the San Fernando Valley.
