24 December 2019, 11:29
The 'Thotiana' rapper was seen throwing wads of cash to the less fortunate in Los Angeles' Skid Row neighbourhood.
Blueface has divided opinions online after a video of him throwing cash at homeless people surfaced.
In the clip, the 'Thotiana' rapper can be seen standing atop an SUV while throwing money into the air down to the less fortunate of Los Angeles' Skid Row neighbourhood.
Blueface later reposted the video himself with the caption "The season of giving".

However, while some have praised the rapper for his generosity, many have criticised the rapper and are calling his actions demeaning, dehumanising and humiliating.
"I’ve been homeless before. This is BEYOND disrespectful," tweeted one. "There was ZERO good intent here. #blueface treat those people like they were animals, when he could’ve donated to the 3 shelters that are within 3 blocks of that location, helped more people, and let them keep their dignity."
"There's a dreadful video (I won't post it) showing the rapper Blueface standing on a car throwing $ at unhoused &underserved ppl," said another. "Some might think that's some "baller sh*t." Many will think he's "giving back." What he's doing is DEMORALIZING and HUMILIATING ppl who deserve better."
This is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my life. Blueface and everyone who supports him should be ashamed. https://t.co/8AXvpPDpEF
