Blueface says he regrets turning to violence during the 2022 Las Vegas shooting that ultimately sent him to prison.
The rapper and reality TV figure reflected on the incident during Wednesday’s (Dec. 24) episode of Club Shay Shay, explaining what led him to pull out a gun.
Back in 2022, Blueface was charged with attempted murder after a bullet grazed Kentavious Traylor outside Euphoric Gentlemen’s strip club in Las Vegas.
Those charges were later reduced to assault and firing a weapon at or into an occupied building. After taking a plea deal, Blueface received three years of probation, with a two-to-five-year prison sentence suspended as long as he followed the terms of his release.
The 28-year-old was also ordered to pay $13 million in damages to the strip club.
Around the one-hour, eight-minute mark of the episode, Blueface recalled hearing tires “screeching” and a man “yelling” outside the venue, saying that’s when he reacted.
“I feel like my life was in danger,” Blueface told host Shannon Sharpe. “Somebody pull up … I’ve been there before.
“I just did what I [knew] to do in that moment,” he added.
When asked what he would’ve handled differently, Blueface said the situation could’ve been resolved with a simple “conversation,” before joking that they might’ve even pulled out “boxing gloves” instead.
“If we can’t talk it out … If we gotta see whose dick is longer,” Blueface said. “Let’s do it. You know how n***as are, some n***as just want to see how far they can piss next to you. Sometimes you just got to out-piss them.”
In October, Clark County District Judge Kathleen Delaney lifted Blueface’s ban from the Las Vegas Strip, allowing him to return to the area for work-related reasons. The following month, the rapper apologized to the shooting victim during a livestream with DDG.
Blueface later reflected on the situation, admitting he could have avoided it entirely by staying home instead of going out that night.
“I could have just had my ass in the house. I didn’t have to go to the club that night, put my hands on that man, shoot him,” Blueface said at the time. “I didn’t have to shoot that man, [I could have] been at home.
“I’m sorry, brother. I didn’t mean to shoot you, bro,” he continued. “If you seeing this, forgive me, man. This is true apology.”
