Rapper Blueface is facing a federal copyright infringement lawsuit after promoters alleged he livestreamed Chrisean Rock’s professional boxing debut for free on his verified Kick channel and urged fans not to pay the $29.99 pay-per-view fee.
According to a federal complaint obtained by TMZ, boxing promoter Skyy Myles and streaming provider BLK Prime Boxing filed the suit against the rapper, whose legal name is Johnathan Michael Porter. The plaintiffs claim Blueface broadcast the September 19, 2026, event for more than an hour, drawing tens of thousands of viewers and potentially cutting into official sales.
The fight took place at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor as part of Skyy Myles Promotions’ card titled “The Supper.” Chrisean Rock, competing under her legal name Chrisean Malone and the ring name “Holy Hands,” defeated Ku’Shiyah Williams by second-round technical knockout in what promoters billed as her first sanctioned professional bout. Both women entered with no prior professional records. Rock, 26, of West Baltimore, is trained by Calvin Ford.
The complaint alleges that Blueface was joined on the stream by his longtime manager, Cash McElroy Jones, known professionally as Wack 100. It further claims the rapper openly acknowledged airing the bout because of a financial dispute with Rock and told viewers they did not need to purchase the official BLK Prime feed.
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,” Lew said. “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 alleged lost sales, profits, and other earnings tied to the event, along with attorney fees. No specific dollar figure for claimed losses has been detailed in public reports of the filing.
Blueface, 29, rose to prominence in 2018 with his offbeat rapping style and scored a major hit with “Thotiana” the following year. He has also competed as a boxer and maintains a large livestreaming audience. He and Rock dated from 2020 to 2023 and share a son, Chrisean Malone Jr., born in September 2023. Their relationship has long been marked by public volatility, co-parenting disputes, and repeated appearances across social media and reality television.
Rock first gained wide attention as a cast member on Zeus Network’s “Baddies” series and has released music while transitioning into boxing. She previously competed in a high-profile crossover bout in April 2026 before insisting on a fully professional path. Williams, fighting out of Wilson, North Carolina, also made her professional debut in the Baltimore matchup.
Representatives for Blueface had not issued a public response to the lawsuit as of the initial reports. The case centers on whether the unauthorized Kick stream and related comments caused measurable harm to the exclusive pay-per-view rights held by the promoter and streaming service.
The dispute adds another chapter to the complicated public history between Blueface and Rock, whose personal conflicts have frequently spilled into livestreams and online audiences for years.
