Blueface Sued for Livestreaming Chrisean Rock's PPV Boxing Match

Blueface is being sued by a promoter who claims the Los Angeles rapper allegedly livestreamed Chrisean Rock's pay-per-view boxing match.

In court documents obtained by XXL on Monday (Sept. 28), boxing promoter Skyy Myles filed a copyright-infringement lawsuit against Blueface alleging that he livestreamed BLK Prime Boxing's "The Supper" fight between Chrisean Rock and her opponent Ku'Shiyah Williams on Sept. 19. Myles claimed the "Thotiana" rapper deliberately streamed the bout for over an hour on his official Kick account. This was Chrisean's first-ever professional boxing match, which BLK made available for $29.99 on its pay-per-view service. Chrisean was victorious in her fight against Ku'Shiyah by a technical knockout in the second round.

In his suit, Myles claimed that Blueface encouraged thousands of his fans to watch the unauthorized retransmission of the fight on his channel instead of paying BLK's PPV broadcast and "did so to retaliate against the Event's headliner [Chrisean] over an unrelated financial dispute." Also named in the lawsuit is Blueface's manager Cash Jones (aka Wack 100) and Kick.com, a popular streaming platform.

In a statement to XXL, Skyy Myles's attorney, Charles Lew, expressed his disbelief at Blueface's alleged infringement and looks forward to the rapper's explanation in court.

"Honestly, I'm enthusiastically awaiting their defense, if for nothing else than the entertainment value," he said. "They broadcast it live and told everyone not to pay. I'm curious how one might creatively explain that."

Skyy Myles and BLK Prime Boxing are seeking a jury trial to recover monies they lost from the pay-per-view fight, as well as profits Blueface received from his livestream and attorney fees covered during their litigation.
