SAN FERNANDO VALLEY, CALIFORNIA: After informing followers that he would not be able to fight in October as he was stabbed at the gym, Blueface posted a video on his Instagram story on Wednesday, August 23, showing the extent of his injury, affirming that he's OK as "it was just a leg shot."
The original story informed followers that he would not be able to take part in his scheduled fight against Salt Papi for Misfits Boxing Prime Card on October 14.
The video in the story showed a boxing practice session where Blueface appeared to get into a furious argument with an unnamed man wearing a white tank top, while a third man attempted to settle the situation.
This occurred two months after Blueface was arrested by the police in June for allegedly taking part in a heist in Las Vegas. Blueface was taken into custody as he arrived at court.
In the course of his attempted murder trial due to an incident that took place in November 2022, the 'Holy Moly' hitmaker was allegedly "taken into police custody" and "charged with a felony," as reported by TMZ.
The native of Los Angeles was taken into custody in November 2022 from Sin City as part of an inquiry into an alleged attempt to murder related to an October gunshot outside the Euphoric Gentlemen's Club. In what appears to have been an undercover operation, the performer was brought into custody outside Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles.
What happened to Blueface?
Blueface, the rapper, was stabbed in the leg. On Wednesday morning, the 26-year-old musician was hurt in an incident with an unknown individual in Los Angeles.
According to TMZ, the star, whose actual name is Johnathan Jamall Porter, suffered wounds but was cleaned up by paramedics and is now healing. The event occurred as the amateur boxer was practicing at a gym in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.
The person he got into an argument with wore a white tank top, pale blue pants, and white trainers. He allegedly entered the gym with his dog and began fighting with Blueface, who was in the midst of a training session.
Blueface was dressed in a black tank top, pale beige shorts, and bright blue high-top trainers. On surveillance footage provided by the rapper on his Instagram account, a trainer named David Kaminsky was seen attempting to break the fight apart.
It appeared to be a heated fight that was only getting worse. They were having a verbal spat when Blueface appeared to lose his patience. That's when Blueface, wearing white boxing gloves, struck the man many times in the face. The man's black Rottweiler was on a leash, near the altercation.
The mystery man then took a step back and pulled a knife from his trousers pocket, where the video cut off. The man allegedly stabbed him after that. Blueface was treated by paramedics who arrived at the scene.
