Putting Chrisean Rock’s $29.99 pay-per-view boxing match on a free livestream could become an expensive decision for Blueface. A new federal lawsuit accuses the rapper of broadcasting Rock’s professional debut on his verified Kick channel while viewers were supposed to be paying BLK Prime for access.
According to TMZ, boxing promoter Skyy Myles and streaming provider BLK Prime claim Blueface livestreamed the Sept. 19 fight for more than an hour. The complaint alleges Wack 100 joined him during the broadcast and that tens of thousands of viewers watched without purchasing the official pay-per-view.
The filing goes further, claiming Blueface actively told viewers not to buy the fight. The plaintiffs allege he encouraged fans to stay on his stream instead and tied the decision to a financial dispute involving Rock. Blueface has not publicly responded to the lawsuit.

Chrisean Rock Won Her Professional Debut
The disputed broadcast covered Rock’s bout against Ku’Shiyah Williams at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor. Competing under her birth name, Chrisean Malone, she won by second-round TKO in what was promoted as her first sanctioned professional fight. The event aired exclusively through BLK Prime as part of Skyy Myles Promotions’ The Supper card.
Rock had already stepped into the ring earlier this year, defeating Zenith Zion in an April crossover bout. That fight was not counted toward her official professional record, making the Williams matchup her formal entry into pro boxing.
The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages for the revenue they claim was lost because of the unauthorized stream, along with legal fees. Rock’s attorney, Charles Lew, told TMZ he had “never seen such a blatant and brazen disregard for copyright,” arguing that the broadcast was not only taken without permission but promoted as a free alternative to the paid feed. Blueface’s representatives had not responded to TMZ’s request for comment when the outlet published its report.
