Blueface Claims Adin Ross Still Owes Him $300K for Brand Risk Fight
Blueface continues to allege that Adin Ross has failed to pay him for his participation in a Brand Risk Promotions boxing match.
The fallout from Blueface’s recent boxing match against Chibu continues to intensify, with the rapper now publicly accusing Adin Ross of withholding payment. The bout, which was organized under the banner of Ross’s Brand Risk Promotions, has become the subject of a heated financial dispute that has played out across social media and various interview platforms.
Blueface has been vocal about his dissatisfaction, claiming that he is owed $300,000 for his appearance in the ring. Despite his efforts to resolve the matter, the rapper maintains that he has yet to receive the funds. During a recent appearance on No Jumper, Blueface addressed the situation directly with Adam22, confirming that while there have been behind-the-scenes discussions, the payment remains outstanding. “Nope. Still hasn’t came to me,” Blueface stated. “They’re doing the negotiating and what not.”
A Public War of Words
The tension between the two figures escalated after Blueface initially accused Ross of rigging the match. This allegation sparked a series of public exchanges. Ross previously claimed that Blueface was subject to a $100,000 fine for failing to wear a required sponsor patch, a claim that Blueface vehemently denied. “Never said how much I was paid, the excuses are becoming evident. [I] was never contracted to wear a patch [and] even if I was fined 100k that’s not even half of what’s owed,” Blueface remarked at the time.
Ross, in turn, has defended his organization’s integrity, insisting that the fight was legitimate and criticizing Blueface for his public stance. “All he had to do was say something like, ‘it wasn’t rigged. Florida State Athletic Commission doesn’t rig their fights.’ I gave him 72 hours to fix this he didn’t. You’re the first fighter in Brand Risk history [I’ve] ever struggled paying,” Ross stated.
Broader Concerns Over Brand Risk Promotions
The controversy surrounding the Blueface and Chibu fight is not the first time Brand Risk Promotions has faced scrutiny. The organization has previously dealt with questions regarding the legitimacy of its events, including the widely discussed situation involving Ray J and Supa Hot Fire. As betting companies continue to play a significant role in these influencer-led sporting events, fans and critics alike remain skeptical about potential conflicts of interest.
While Ross continues to deny any wrongdoing regarding the match-rigging allegations, the ongoing financial dispute with Blueface ensures that the questions surrounding the event’s transparency will persist. As both parties remain at an impasse, the situation serves as a reminder of the complexities inherent in the intersection of influencer culture, professional sports, and high-stakes gambling.
