Miami, FL – A dispute over unpaid earnings and contractual obligations has erupted between rapper Blueface and streamer Adin Ross following Blueface’s boxing match against Chibu on Ross’s “Brand Risk” event on March 15, 2026. Blueface alleges he is owed $300,000, while Ross claims the rapper breached his contract and is liable for a $100,000 fine.
The conflict began after Blueface publicly questioned the fairness of the fight, suggesting it was rigged. Ross responded by accusing Blueface of violating multiple terms of their agreement, including failing to display a sponsor patch and disclosing payment details. “He’s supposed to wear a Rainbet patch on his shorts. He didn’t. And he’s gonna have to pay $100,000 for that,” Ross stated in a clip circulating online, as reported by The Shade Room. Ross further claimed Blueface refused to retract his statements about the fight being fixed, despite a 72-hour window to do so.
Blueface, however, denies disclosing his earnings and asserts he was never obligated to wear a sponsor patch. “Never said how much I was paid, the excuses are becoming evident,” he responded on X, adding that the alleged $100,000 fine is less than half of what he is owed. He characterized Ross’s actions as a tactic to avoid full payment, stating, “Looking for a way not to pay is not a great look. Ima receive mines regardless.”
The boxing match itself marked Blueface’s return to the ring after a three-year hiatus, during which he served time in jail related to a 2021 battery case. He had been training with prominent figures in the boxing world, including Floyd Mayweather and Keyshawn Davis, leading some to consider him a promising influencer boxer, according to Yahoo Sports. However, Blueface lost to Chibu, a fellow influencer, after being knocked out of the ring in the second round. The defeat jeopardized a planned fight with NBA champion Nick ‘Swaggy P’ Young, scheduled for May 2nd at the James L. Knight Center.
Adding another layer to the dispute, Blueface’s manager, Wack 100, entered the fray, denying Ross’s claims and alleging that Ross had previously made unwanted sexual advances toward him, accompanied by screenshots of purported text message exchanges. This accusation has not been independently verified.
The “Brand Risk” event, organized by Ross, aimed to capitalize on the growing popularity of influencer boxing. However, the fallout from Blueface’s loss and the subsequent financial dispute threaten to overshadow the event’s initial promise. As of today, it remains unclear how the financial dispute will be resolved and whether legal action will be pursued by either party.
