Rapper Blueface is being sued for copyright infringement by the promoter and streaming partner behind Chrisean Rock’s professional boxing debut after he allegedly broadcast the September 19, 2026, pay-per-view event for free on his verified Kick channel and told viewers not to pay the $29.99 fee.
In a federal complaint obtained by TMZ, boxing promoter Skyy Myles and streaming provider BLK Prime Boxing allege that Blueface, born Johnathan Michael Porter, carried the bout for more than an hour on his Kick stream alongside his longtime manager Wack 100, drawing tens of thousands of viewers while Rock’s professional debut was being sold exclusively through BLK Prime’s pay-per-view service. The filing claims Blueface acknowledged airing the fight because of a financial dispute with Rock and urged his audience to skip the official feed.
The fight headlined a card called “The Supper” at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor on Saturday, September 19, 2026, according to The Blast, which reviewed the same federal complaint. Chrisean Rock, born Chrisean Eugenia Malone and competing under her legal name, defeated Ku’Shiyah Williams by second-round technical knockout in what multiple outlets, including Yahoo Sports and Forbes, called her professional debut. Hypefresh tracked Rock’s pro debut through its earlier training and announcement coverage as she moved from a celebrity-boxing crossover earlier in 2026 into her sanctioned first pro fight.
Blueface’s longtime manager, born Cash McElroy Jones and known professionally as Wack 100, joined him on the stream, the plaintiffs allege. The complaint says the two broadcast Rock’s match on Blueface’s verified Kick channel and that Blueface openly told viewers they did not need to buy the BLK Prime pay-per-view. A representative for Blueface had not issued a public response to the lawsuit as of Friday.
Rock’s attorney, Charles Lew, addressed the allegations in a statement to TMZ:
“In my entire career, I have never seen such a blatant and brazen disregard for copyright. They didn’t just take our clients’ broadcast, they announced it live and told people not to pay. We look forward to the successful enforcement of our clients’ well-established rights.”
Skyy Myles and BLK Prime are seeking unspecified damages for lost sales, profits and other earnings tied to the event, along with attorney fees. No specific dollar figure for the alleged losses has been made public.
Blueface, 29, rose to prominence in 2018 with his offbeat rapping style and scored a major hit with “Thotiana” the following year. The song, which peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned him a spot in the 2019 XXL Freshman class, was later remixed with Cardi B and YG, per the song’s Wikipedia page and Billboard’s chart history for the rapper. He has also competed as a boxer and maintains a large livestreaming audience on Kick. He and Rock dated from 2020 to 2023 and share a son, Chrisean Malone Jr., born on September 3, 2023. The breakup and the years-long co-parenting disputes that followed are part of Hypefresh’s earlier coverage of their breakup, and the recent lawsuit fits into a longer family-circuit story that has also pulled in Blueface’s other baby mother, Jaidyn Alexis, whose celebrity-circle dynamics have been a separate thread in Hypefresh’s reporting on Rock’s wider friend group. Rock’s wider entertainment footprint traces back to her run on Zeus Network’s reality series Baddies, which she appeared on for four seasons.
The complaint also lands as Chrisean Rock’s pivot into professional boxing has drawn significant public interest. She had previously competed in celebrity-boxing exhibitions earlier in 2026 before committing to a sanctioned pro path, and her debut at the Hyatt Regency was promoted as the centerpiece of a Skyy Myles Promotions card. The plaintiffs argue that by streaming the fight on his own channel, Blueface gave his existing audience a free alternative to paying for BLK Prime and knowingly directed potential customers away from the legitimate feed. The final damages, if any, will hinge on what evidence the plaintiffs can produce tying the unauthorized stream to specific lost sales, and on how a federal judge reads Blueface’s on-stream statement that viewers did not need to pay.
Representatives for Blueface did not immediately respond to requests for comment from multiple outlets. The case now centers on whether the unauthorized Kick stream caused measurable harm to the exclusive pay-per-view rights held by Skyy Myles Promotions and BLK Prime, and what role Blueface’s open financial dispute with the plaintiff he was airing played in motivating the broadcast.
