Los Angeles-based rapper Blueface is drawing criticism after he filmed himself driving his 2020 Corvette Convertible at over 150 mph and posted the video to his social media.
The video was posted to Instagram Monday night, according to the rap-obsessed folks over at Hip Hop DX, and shows the rapper speeding down an unnamed Los Angeles freeway at speeds of up to 157 mph.

The clip begins with Blueface already speeding at just over 90 mph before he mats the accelerator and lets the Corvette’s 6.2L LT2 V8 engine carry him to nearly 160 mph. He even takes his hands off the steering wheel at times to show off his diamond-studded wrings and watch off to his Instagram followers.
Most will be unsurprised to learn that Blueface has a bit of a history with reckless driving. Back in July of this year, the rapper posted a video to Instagram showing a towing company loading his wrecked Porsche Panamera onto a flatbed, tagging it with the caption: “Another one.” It’s unclear what these other crashes are that he may be referencing, but we really have no reason to dispute his claims of having wrecked multiple vehicles. At this point, we’ve seen enough to just take his word for it.

Blueface may want to take notes from fellow rapper Rod Wave, who crashed his 2020 Corvette into a light post earlier this year, totaling it. Rod Wave suffered internal bleeding in the crash and later recounted the wreck in one of his songs.
The 2020 Corvette is a serious performance car. With the Z51 Performance Package equipped, the mid-engine sports car produces 495 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque and can accelerate from 0-60 mph in as little as 2.9 seconds. It will also top out at an impressive 194 mph.

The fastest i have ever gone in a vehicle was 240 klm (150mph) in my Camaro at age 18. This guy seems to be at about that same maturity level, but with way more money……..scary.
Money does not mean anything to be honest. Entertainers tend to not be the brightest people. 150mph is nice! That is about the fastest I have gone but it was in Germany. Whatever car I rent there I always try to go to its V-max. Nothing was scary about it as Germany has standards and the German drivers are well trained. Accidents take two parties, so if something happened it would be my fault and the person who had terrible depth and reaction time. So one can drive with confidence there. On this side of the pond, Hell no!
Since he was STUPID ENOUGH to post it LAPD should go to his home pick him up and book him for Speeding and Reckless driving. The Judge should fine him $1157,157hrs in jail, plus a 1157 hrs of Community Service
you don’t seem to understand that BLM has these big city pols shaking in their boots because they don’t want their cities to burn and they will not give them an excuse by arresting a black rapper.
Got black guys on your mind?…….
watching the 6 and 11 o’clock news i don’t see any amish being loaded into the patrol cars or dead in the street
I guess Amish isn’t spending citizens retirement money on failure “by the bootstraps” corporations or invading nations for resources um “freedom”, BTW I thought all the W/Supremacist love to see “Amish” do each other in, someone got to be the bad guy (other than the bigots themselves)…
Hey Guest, please do not feed into the brave internet thugs and bigoted morons like “Motorman”. Their brains are the size of mustard seeds and they function off taught hate and genuine ignorance. The last thing “they” (white supremacists i,e; Motorman) want is for this country’s judicial system to turn the other cheek to ANY black Americans committing senseless crimes, the same way they’ve turned the other cheek to all the senseless crimes committed by white supremacists here in the U.S. since the birth of this country. God forbid someone speaks up for a black man being abused by the court of law, victims of mass incarceration.
Rappers like Blueface are the dumbest of the dumb to me. I don’t care how young you are, you should know by now that they don’t wanna see you with anything nice that you’ve worked hard for and EARNED. Why use your blessings to break the law and then further incriminate yourself by recording every bit of it so that they can keep you away from it all? Stop giving these white supremacist, bigoted, and foolish clowns what they believe to be the ammunition to shoot their powerless weapons. I have family that knows rapper Rod Wave personally, I cannot believe he is one of many celebrities to put his life in jeopardy over a few minutes of thrill the same way many of them do. Thank God they’re both ok, but had worse happened to either of them, there would be many with broken hearts today. It just doesn’t make any sense.
These celebrities have GOT to wake up! This is stupid. So many people look up to them as role models and this is just plain selfish and ignorant. Stop killing each other and then yourselves while joyriding, the Dylan Roofs and the “police” are doing that enough! Smh.
thanks for making my point. Rappers like Blueface are the dumbest of the dumb to me.
It has nothing to do with his race he could be Black, White, Blue, Green or Purple. He broke the law and was STUPID ENOUGH to post it if LAPD pick him up I bet he want do it anymore
Roy Chiles, I agree! He could’ve hurt himself or someone else that night. LAPD needs to do their jobs of keeping the roads safe! This man has absolutely NO regard for other human lives. I rather he learns his lesson(s) while he is young, and still has time to get himself together mentally before it’s too late .
Nothing special about these speeds, when I lived in Germany one could routinely do these speeds. I do not see the problem especially if he was on an interstate. Maybe the American and Canadian governments should force cars to be electronically limited to under 90 mph if they are to be registered or just ban “fast” cars. Since speed is handled terribly on this side of the pond. Imagine a North America with the German autobahn system and German driving standards. It would be glorious! Since North America is huge and the population density is so low compared to Germany. Wishful thinking on my part!
But Germany invests a lot of money into the Autobahn to make it safe to drive that fast and about half of all Autobahns have speed limits since it would not be safe to drive that fast there (too much traffic, bad road quality, etc). The roadquality on US Highways really differ, also you have absolutely no protection if you lose control at these high speeds. You pretty much fly off the road and are dead
Per mile the German government spends almost twice what the US government spends on the interstate system. In regards to speed limits, those that have never been to Germany think it is a free for all everywhere on the autobahn. Of course one can’t blast through an autobahn that is running through the city. It is common sense. Unrestricted stretches are outside of the cities in rural areas. Also the autobahn has many variable speed limits throughout that can change, meanwhile the US uses mostly static signs. I scratch my head at the varying interstate standards. I am always amazed that in certain parts there are no guard rails in the median or on the sides. Compared to the autobahn each side of the medium always has a guard rail.
The USA needs to build more interstates and widen many. It would be nice if we could adopt some higher standards and be more consistent for these federal roads across states.
As you can see by the Covid stats, Americans don’t give a sh!t about people dying and also people now starving in their own country…
That’s how far the dis-US has degenerated.
You now have the equivalent of a 9/11 happening every day and half the population are so brainwashed that they’re denying it is actually taking place. Very sad indeed.
Silly….
I agree above. In large western states they ought not to have speed limits on certain highways so people can really get more from their travel, even if it’s a toll road.
Well if the guy is dumb enough to post it online, I would like to think the authorities would have no problem prosecuting him. I mean there’s obviously proof and wouldn’t be the first time for that to happen either. There was a guy who did like 170mph or something in a hellcat and posted it also, They prosecuted him with his own evidence LMAO.
Not sure what happened in the end ?
better send a black cop to arrest him or BLM will start a riot because it is a white cop arresting him for driving while black
He only did the video to show off his stupid diamond rings.
In the one photo he had what looked like 20 pounds of that “hey look at me” garbage around his neck also.
I’ll have to agree with Cadillac Matt above. I like to romp and stomp with the best of them, but I cannot believe someone in their right mind would not keep complete control of the steering wheel at those kinds of speed… you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand that simple concept.
North American highways are not built for this kind of speed. That goes for North American drivers also.
Well! GM built this and sold it to this moron what did you think would happen?
Rappers regularly shoot/kill each other and hurt/kill innocent people. This just seems an extension of that stupidity.
Dylan Roof was no “rapper”.
Of course, he probably did not go to Pahrump and actually learn how to drive the car.
What a jerk!
Did you notice the car isn’t broken in yet. Double stupid.
CHP should show up at his front door and arrested. I don’t care what color he is as he put other people’s life’s in danger. Dumb enough to post on social media..guilty
all you posters must have missed the “defund the police” that BLM is pushing. no cop is going to risk their job by arresting a well known black rapper. if this was done by a white person he would be in jail now. you guys don’t understand who is running the country now as it is the law breakers as they have more rights than you do. set your neighbors house on fire and see what happens to you. have you heard about any rioters who burned down business being put into jail ?? police are no longer in charge of protecting you they are now part of the political class and don’t forget that. i have cops in my family and i hear the stories of what is going on.. if you spend a lot of time out in public i would suggest you get a CCP to protect yourself as i do. if you live in a state where you are not allowed to have a CCP you already know who is in charge and it is not you.
Has anybody shopped at Saffire Vapor? x
