LA rapper Blueface was taken down by undercover police outside Lo-Lo’s Chicken and Waffles in Las Vegas on Tuesday and charged with attempted murder.
Blueface charged with attempted murder
As reported by TMZ, the Thotiana rapper was seated outside the eatery with his girlfriend Chrisean Rock when at least eight undercover cops pounced on him.
Video footage of the arrest has since surfaced on social media.
According to legal docs seen by TMZ, Blueface is in hot water over an incident that allegedly happened on 8 October 2022.
The rapper faces felony attempted murder with the use of a deadly firearm or tear gas. He also faces an additional charge for discharging a firearm into a house, building, vehicle or craft.
Details around the arrest are still sketchy at this time. However, murmurs rumbling on social media suggest that a man only identified as ‘ItsTay_Dummy’ on Twitter (his account has since been deleted) may have been the victim of the shooting that occurred in Vegas, in October 2022.
In the since-deleted tweet, ‘Tay’ claimed he was ‘jumped’ (attacked by a mob) and shot Blueface outside a strip club.
The ‘Tay’ going viral on social media, however, has yet to be formally identified as the victim in Blueface’s felony attempted murder case.
Reacting to the shocking moment, Blueface’s girlfriend, Chrisean, took to social media to profess her love and support for the rapper.
“Dis was 3 hours before they took u from me Jesus Got us NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US SHALL PROSPER IM YO ROCK FORever!!! (sic),” she wrote on Instagram.
This is a developing story.
