Is Blueface OK? Rapper shares update after getting stabbed at gym during boxing workout

SAN FERNANDO VALLEY, CALIFORNIA: After informing followers that he would not be able to fight in October as he was stabbed at the gym, Blueface posted a video on his Instagram story on Tuesday, August 22, showing the extent of his injury, affirming that he's OK as "it was just a leg shot."

He also posted a story explaining why he won't be returning to the boxing ring anytime soon. During a boxing practice session, Blueface appears to get into a furious argument with an unnamed man wearing a white tank top, while another man attempts to settle the situation.

This occurred two months after Blueface was detained by the police and arrested in June for allegedly taking part in a heist in Las Vegas. Blueface was taken to jail by the court. In the course of his attempted murder trial, the hitman for Holy Moly was allegedly "taken into police custody" and "charged with a felony," as reported by TMZ. The native of Los Angeles was taken into custody in November 2022 as part of an inquiry into an alleged attempt to murder in Sin City related to an October gunshot outside the Euphoric Gentlemen's Club. In what appears to have been an undercover operation, the performer was brought into custody outside Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles.

What happened to Blueface?

Blueface, the rapper, was stabbed in the leg. On Wednesday morning, the 26-year-old musician was hurt in an incident with an unknown individual in Los Angeles. According to TMZ, the star, whose actual name is Johnathan Jamall Porter, suffered wounds but was cleaned up by paramedics and is now healing. The event occurred as the amateur boxer was practicing at a gym in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.

The suspect wore a white tank top, pale blue pants, and white trainers. He allegedly entered the gym with his dog and began fighting with Blueface, who was in the midst of a training session. Blueface was dressed in a black tank top, pale beige shorts, and bright blue high-top trainers. On surveillance footage provided by the rapper on his Instagram account, a trainer named David Kaminsky was seen wearing a black shirt and grey shorts. The trainer was attempting to intervene between the man and Blueface in order to break up the verbal brawl.

It appeared to be a heated fight that was only getting worse. They were having a verbal spat when Blueface appeared to lose his patience. That's when Blueface, wearing white boxing gloves, struck the man many times in the face. The man's black Rottweiler dog was on a leash and was sitting and standing near the altercation.

The mystery man then took a step back, pulled a knife from his trousers pocket, and charged at the rapper with it, stabbing him. The video cuts out just as Blueface is about to be stabbed. Blueface was treated by paramedics who arrived at the scene.

Who stabbed Blueface?

According to David, the suspect is unknown. He went on to say that the guy informed the singer, "I'm gonna kill you." According to reports, the man stabbed Blueface in the leg and then fled with the dog. According to witnesses, the man with the knife fled in a black Tesla Model S.
