In an exclusive interview with VladTV, Blueface breaks down his journey from growing up in West Los Angeles to becoming one of the most talked-about rappers of his generation. He reflects on his early life, his involvement in gangs, and the football career that took him from high school success to Fayetteville State University before he ultimately returned to LA.
Blueface details how he transitioned into rap, blowing up with breakout hits like “Deadlocs” and “Respect My Crip,” which racked up millions of streams and solidified his unique voice in West Coast hip hop. He speaks on working with Whack 100, connecting with Birdman, and his relationship with Chris Gotti as he navigated the industry. The interview also covers the massive impact of “Thotiana,” the chart-topping single featuring Cardi B and YG that surged to nearly half a billion streams worldwide.
The conversation dives deep into Blueface’s legal and personal challenges, including incidents in Oklahoma, the Las Vegas shooting case, probation issues, and time spent in prison—where he got into multiple fights and added new tattoos. He also opens up about his relationships with Chrisean (who had multiple abortions for him), Jade Alexis, and the dynamics around his growing family. Blueface discusses his evolving dating life, his mother’s public criticisms, and his mindset moving forward as he focuses on building new stars, staying consistent in music, and preparing for upcoming boxing matches with Nick Young and possibly Jake Paul.
