“Blueface baby love me or hate me I’m paid still running fades in balenciagas Don’t blink. #april22nd,” he wrote in the post caption, where he can be seen flexing his muscles.
Boxing is nothing new for the rapper — he made his debut in the ring in July 2021 at the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 19.
The situation that led to the matchup started in March after the TikToker called out Chrisean Rock for being a “scatty as fuck,” which in UK slang means empty-headed or thoughtless. Shortly thereafter Blueface caught wind of the video and announced that he would square up with the influencer to defend the mother of his future child as well as make a couple bucks.
He then took it a step further and tweeted earlier this month that while he was unfamiliar with Matthews, “it don’t even matter fr” and has no doubts he will prevail.

Despite this, the 19-year-old influencer doesn’t appear to be phased. Matthews recently told TMZ, that he has a “gameplan” and that the fight will be a first-round knockout. “I’ve already seen it, trust me,” he said.
Matthews is actually a fan of Blueface, and admits that regardless of whether or not the rapper knows who he is, he will eventually.
“It’s weird actually because I used to listen to his tunes, but I feel like he fell off from the music scene a bit. I ain’t heard any of his tunes in a sec, but they used to bang. It’s weird, it’s a bit nostalgic fighting him,” Matthews said.
Prior to Blueface sharing his boxing photoshoot, Matthews poked at the California rapper in a TikTok video, saying if he beats Blueface then the rapper should give him one of his chains.

“Since you’re so confident you’re gonna beat me, if I knock you out, you gotta bust me one of those chains cuz,” he said in the video.
