Rapper Blueface Targeted by Swatting Hoax Twice
1 Oct
Summary
- Authorities responded to Blueface's residence two times on consecutive days.
- The false emergency calls involved claims of violence and a medical crisis.
- This follows a previous swatting incident involving the rapper in August.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputies were dispatched to rapper Blueface's home on two separate occasions yesterday following swatting attempts. The initial call around 1:30 PM reported a woman assaulting a child, but deputies found no one at the residence. A second, similar incident occurred later that afternoon when a different false report claimed a medical emergency, specifically a seizure, was happening at the rapper's house.
Upon arrival for the second call, deputies and the Los Angeles County Fire Department were able to speak with Blueface. They quickly determined there was no actual medical crisis. Both false alarms were intentionally disruptive swatting incidents designed to provoke a large law enforcement response. This is not the first time Blueface has been a victim of such a prank; in August, a similar false emergency call led to deputies briefly detaining him and others at a restaurant.
