BLUEFACE LANDS TWO PUNCHES ON FLOYD MAYWEATHER DURING SPARRING MATCH: 'MAKE IT LOOK GOOD'

Blueface and Floyd Mayweather have been keeping up with one another in the boxing ring, and it seems as though the “Thotiana” rapper may have found a second career.

In a teaser video for the next episode of Crazy in Love, which dropped on Saturday (August 26), the pair can be seen sparring with one another, and are keenly aware that the Zeus Network cameras are following their every move.

At one point during their sparring match, Mayweather can be seen giving Blueface some boxing directions before he remarks, “nope! You gotta make it look good for TV!” which prompts laughter from everyone on the set.

Check it out below.

 

But this isn’t the first time that the two have set it off with one another in the boxing ring.

Back in May, Blueface teased this sparring session with Money Mayweather in the ring and put himself to the test against one of the best to ever do it.

“Sparring with Floyd in may weather #thezeusnetwork #crazyinlove2 #floydmayweatherpromotions,” Blue wrote underneath the Instagram pictures of his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — though his caption now suggests that this was all part of filming for the latest episode of his Zeus Network show, which airs Sunday (August 27).

His manager, Wack 100, also shared a photo of the rapper posing with Floyd after their workout, describing it as “business as usual” for the 26-year-old.

While it’s unclear who came out top in the sparring session, Blueface appeared to have impressed Mayweather with his boxing fundamentals.

“What do you think about my skills?” he asked Floyd in a video posted to his Instagram Stories, to which the boxing legend replied: “You gon’ be okay.”

Mayweather also invited Blue to his training camp so he could “sharpen” him up.

Blueface has certainly made an impression since taking up boxing in 2021. That summer, he made his amateur boxing debut against TikTok star Kane Trujillo and won via unanimous decision after three rounds.

More punches were thrown after the final bell, however, when a member of the crowd jumped into the ring immediately after the fight had finished and confronted Blue, who landed a few blows on the man before security broke up the brawl.

Following two scrapped bouts against former NBA player Nick Young and pro gamer/streamer FaZe Temperrr, the lanky Los Angeles native notched his second boxing victory after defeating British TikTok star Ed Mathews in London this past April.

Unfortunately, though, Blueface’s upcoming boxing match against Salt Papi — which was scheduled to take place on October 14 — had to be postponed thanks to 36-year-old Brandon Henry Snell, who allegedly stabbed the rapper while he was working out in California. Snell, for his part, has been arrested for felony assault with a deadly weapon, though it’s unclear when he’ll be standing trial for the alleged stabbing.

KILLER MIKE DETAILS GRAMMYS ARREST ON POWERFUL NEW SONG 'HUMBLE ME'

Killer Mike has addressed his controversial arrest at the 2024 Grammy Awards on his new song “Humble Me.”

The Atlanta rap legend released the track after winning Album of the Year at the BET Awards on Sunday (June 30), which was coincidentally held at L.A.’s Peacock Theatre, the same location as his arrest.

Featuring Muhammad Ali on the intro giving a speech about humility, the song and accompanying black and white video capture the Run The Jewels rapper in a braggadocious yet reflective mood.

“I won at the Grammys/ For spitting my grammar/ Did that for Atlanta/ Swept up like a janitor/ Got sent to the slammer / Treat me like an animal or some kind of Hannibal,” he raps over muscular production from Tec Beatz, Cory Henry and Cuz Lightyear.

On the God-fearing track, he adds: “The Devil be doing you right when you doing it/ The Devil will ruin you/ Behind me Satan/ I walked out the door, my head up and handcuffs with pride.”

The song also sees Mike recalling his mental state during his brief incarceration: “I had to quiet my mind, I prayed and I prayed and I prayed/ The liars were lying their lies/ I kept on just keeping my faith/ The Devil put me on this whipping post/ The Lord did not lie on there with me/ So I went to sleep as free as can be and the next day my son got a kidney.”

It was recently confirmed that Killer Mike will not be charged in relation to his Grammys arrest, which came after an alleged confrontation with a security guard.

The rapper also referenced the arrest in his BET Awards victory speech after winning Album of the Year for Michael.

“Technically, I was not supposed to be here,” he said. “I was put in handcuffs and I was marched out of this building. But I wanna tell you, look at God because I’m back, baby. I’m back.”

He added: “I wanna tell Black people that it’s because of BET I’m back, not ’cause of no white person. A Black man runs this business, a Black company puts this show on, and they got my Black ass back in here. Thank you.”

“I’m moved and compelled to say this in this moment, a lot of people gonna say, ‘Who was he? Why did he get it?’” Mike continued. “I am a representation of one of the finest things God has ever made. And that’s one-half of the Black family.

“Black men and women, I am you. Whether you’re young, whether you’re old, whether you like me, whether you don’t like me, I am absolutely you, and this win is absolutely ours.”
