AceShowbiz - Blueface caused a stir on the internet for the way he gave money to those in need. In an Instagram video, the rapper was seen making money rain on the street as he stood atop a car's roof and threw stacks of dollar bills at homeless people at Skid Row in Downtown Los Angeles. People were crowding around his vehicle, scrambling to gather as much money as they could. "The season of giving," so he wrote.
People called the rap star disrespectful and ignorant, saying he should have handed it out. "This has to be the most ignorant s**t I've seen yeah it's nice he's giving money but hand that it out like there humans not f**king animals. Sad era we live in where this s**t is praised," one wrote. Another agreed, "This is so ignorant. Treating them like scavengers."
"This is precisely why you can't give 'n***as' money. A normal Black man that understands the struggle would've handed out envelopes of money. Not to mention...somebody's probably going to OD because he didn't take care of any specific needs. F**kery show," one person commented. Another critic penned, "Why not hand it to them? The deed of giving money is great and I do acknowledge that but hand it to them dont make like your throwing crumbs to the birds."
More similar comments flooded his video, "This is pathetic," "This is demeaning," "I'm disgusted," "This is f**king sickening," "he could of been just hand it out instead of throwing like he in the strip club . smh," "Wow ....too much ... somebody need to humble themselves," "He's so tasteless and he won't stop, "So this what we call giving back now,' "Issa no! [thumbs-down] he could've done it a better way! He have them people looking like savages!!" and "It's sad that he thinks he's doing the right thing , throwing money to the unfortunate rather then handing to them like human should."
A few others defended the rapper. "The man is giving out free money and ur complaining," one said. Another left a similar comment, "He would get rushed by too many ppl and fights would break out." One more similar comment read, "Anybody that ever gave back to skid row knkw@how it be they always want. More and they can get a lil rude."
The controversy came just after Blueface was caught on camera beating up a man who allegedly tried to steal his chain in a club. A woman was caught in a crossfire and got her lip busted. She called him and his entourage cowards. He apologized to her, claiming he didn't touch her and his men must have accidentally hit her.
