The rapper Blueface, who has always been a subject of great debate because of his unorthodox ways, has picked to do live performance in San Jose, California, right on the Super Bowl weekend and the whole thing is already being hyped up as a possible sell-out. The promoter of the event DJ Gutta Butta has made it known that the concert is now selling early bird tickets and table packages.

The promoter’s announcement attracted a lot of attention and reactions, including people making their excited plans for attending, as well as those who were criticizing the rapper’s financial and legal troubles. Real name Johnathan Porter, Blueface is a very controversial and contradictory figure who sometimes talks only about his court cases and personal dramas rather than about his music.
One of the main conversations was about the money aspect. One of the comments was, ‘He has to make those payments to Soulja Boy,’ who was referring to the recent judgment of $130,000 that Blueface lost to another artist, Soulja Boy. Another user countered the argument by saying that Blueface’s profits from other ventures made that amount negligible. ‘Bro he made almost a million dollars in three weeks off Only fans then streaming, and his restaurants a hit,’ they wrote, thus the discussion turned into a ‘dick rider’ and the generational divide in music tastes.
The practical issues were dealt with alongside the gossip. One of the users asked, ‘I can’t see where to buy the tickets,’ and the promoter responded in a straightforward manner by offering to send a link. Others simply expressed their excitement about the concert in the Bay Area. One guy said, ‘Yeah, I’m definitely pulling up.’ Another one said, ‘I’m flying from the east right now,’ making it clear how much of an attraction the Super Bowl weekend event is. Furthermore, one fan said that the date is her birthday, which means it is a perfect although logistically complicated celebration.
Conversely, not all the feedback was in favor of the concert. The critics were very vocal about it. One person commented about the promotional video saying, ‘This is slow and very painful to listen too!!’ Another one claimed, ‘Blue washed-up nobody likes him anymore 😂😂😂 look at the comments and READ THE MF ROOM!’ This experience of a divided audience is typical for Blueface who, despite the criticism, still has a core group of loyal fans.
The rapper’s restrictions on travel due to his legal problems were also mentioned. When a person suggested Blueface should go to Philadelphia or New York, another was quick to tell, ‘he cant just yet. Probation.’ The court has sentenced Bluface to probation for felony gun assault, which restricts his travel and movement.
Unintended consequences of the promotion included the reviving of discussions about industry feuds, as one user recommended, ‘Don’t forget what Diddy tried doing to him. SMH,’ referring to the rapper’s past accusations against the entertainment mogul who is currently involved in legal disputes.

As the Super Bowl weekend approaches, the Los Angeles show is likely to become a mixing place for sports fans and the unpredictable spectacle of a Blueface concert. Public interest will be there, be it because of fandom, curiosity, or skepticism. The early bird ticket sales are a good sign of a strong start, and the promoter’s optimism about a sold-out night in San Jose is already turning into a reality. This follows a recent surprise interview with Keke Palmer he did after his release. The event also brings to mind his previous comeback party announcement amidst controversy. He continues to generate headlines, recently facing backlash for offering Facetime calls amid personal drama. While the sports world focuses on events like the Dallas Cowboys making NFL history, Blueface aims for his own success, having recently celebrated a sold-out club show despite online critics.
