Blueface | Where Are They Now? | The Fall of His Career

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

Blueface, the rapper who named himself after his early School Yard Crips gang ties, catapulted from local Los Angeles obscurity to hip-hop notoriety thanks in large part to his ubiquitous 2018 single, “Thotiana”. Prior to that, he had laid the necessary groundwork with singles like “Respect My Crypn’”, but unlike with “Thotiana”, none of those tracks had stars like YG or Cardi B jumping on their remixes. Following his sudden ascendance to worldwide fame, Blueface seemed poised to become one of the biggest rappers of recent memory. But then, a series of legal issues would stem the tide and delay his debut studio album until March of 2020. Since then, Blueface has split his time between music and creating a reality television series for his OnlyFans profile. Oh, and he’s also decided to throw his hat into the newest trend of celebrity boxing. So, how did Blueface go from being the next big thing in rap to owning his very own sea-food restaurant? You’re about to find out in our newest episode of Where Are They Now!
