Los Angeles rapper Blueface is drawing criticism for hosting a group of women at his home and allegedly telling them to get tattoos or be forced to leave the premises.
In a video shared on social media, the rapper can be heard giving the women an ultimatum to get a tattoo, saying “Tattoo or go home. Which one is it?”
In 2020, the 24-year-old artist came forward with details about his at-home reality show titled Blue Girls Club with episodes being released on OnlyFans, according to TMZ. The web show incorporates elements from the Bad Girls Club and focuses on the young women as they try to live together under one roof.
It has yet to be determined if the West Coast rapper was mandating that they get "Blueface" tattoos, but he shared with The Shade Room that he doesn't have relations with the women and that he's using his platform to give them a second chance at their career goals.
“I don’t have relations with any of these women. The purpose of the show is to develop these women by exercising [their] temper attitude patience and composure,” he said, according to The Shade Room. “An I’m letting [them] use my platform as a second chance to chase [their] dreams without selling themselves to get by. We are all 1 family. They all have a past I just wanna change their future.”
"There is no [mass] production behind this I'm the [sole] proprietor behind funding location and activities. I'm not looking to make money off these women from Onlyfans but I would at least like to make back what I put in. At the end of the day I am a business man," he added.
Despite the rapper’s rundown of the show, he has come under fire on social media for his questionable behavior in the video.
Blueface got these girls living like they’re in a group home.

Others have compared Blueface’s situation to the accusations against R. Kelly, who allegedly housed several women at a location in Georgia, abusing them and keeping them from contacting their family.
This is a lot of red flags and someone needs to go check on these women NOW. https://t.co/JiNpndQilb
