Rapper Blueface sued for putting Chrisean Rock's PPV fight on his live stream

  Rapper Blueface has been sued for copyright infringement over allegations that he illegally livestreamed Chrisean Rock’s recent pay-per-view boxing match to thousands of viewers. Boxing promoter Skyy Myles and streaming provider BLK Prime Boxing allege in a federal lawsuit that Blueface broadcast Rock’s boxing debut on his verified Kick channel despite the fight being available exclusively through BLK Prime’s pay-per-view service for $29.99.

The lawsuit further claims that Blueface acknowledged broadcasting the fight and linked his decision...
