Blueface Ordered To Pay $13 Million To Strip Club Owner After Shooting Incident ‘Ruined The Business’

Rapper Blueface received a costly judgment for his role in a Vegas shooting.

Johnathan Porter, professionally known as Blueface, can’t seem to avoid dicey headlines. On Monday (Oct. 23), the Zeus Network reality TV star was ordered to pay a jaw-dropping $13 million to the owner of a Las Vegas strip club where he was involved in a shooting incident.

As you may recall, Blueface was sentenced to probation for discharging a firearm last year at a popular gentlemen’s establishment that left a man injured. SG Enterprises, the company that operated the club, filed a lawsuit against Blueface, stating that their business was undoubtedly ruined due to the incident.

Reportedly, Blueface’s failure to fight the lawsuit “may be construed as an admission” that SG Enterprises’s case was “meritorious.” The judge also noted that the performer pleaded guilty to felony discharging a weapon into a vehicle and misdemeanor battery, which possibly had a part in the decision to favor the plaintiffs.

The multi-million dollar verdict was revealed by legal affairs journalist Meghann Cuniff.

In a tweet sharing a copy of the judgment, Meghann stated,

“A judge in Las Vegas has ordered rapper Blueface to pay $13 million to a strip club owner after he (shot) a man outside the club.

Here’s the actual judgment, sent to me just now by the strip club’s lawyer.”

Also included in the judgment were lease damages of over $198,000 and approximately $84,000 in payroll expenses for employees who had to be compensated after the club’s sudden closure.

Blueface has yet to respond to the recent judgment, but it could be because he is still enjoying pre-marital bliss with his high school sweetheart, Jaidyn Alexis. The pair share two children together and got engaged over the weekend. Their engagement seems to be shocking to some due to Blueface’s tumultuous relationship with his youngest child’s mother, Chrisean Rock.
