In the land of the on-again, off-again relationships, the permanently broken-up couple is king. Hopefully, social media star and singer-rapper Chrisean Rock and her baby daddy, rapper Blueface, will reach this conclusion at some point (they don't appear to be together but she is still very supportive of him).
While the couple's string of issues have landed them in hot water and mixed up in legal troubles, Chrisean was photographed in handcuffs in June 2024, and her arrest doesn't appear to be tied to Blueface (this time).
So, why is Chrisean Rock in jail? Let's get into it.
Why is Chrisean Rock in jail?
On June 10, 2024, Chrisean was taken into police custody in the San Fernando Valley, sources familiar with situation told TMZ. After arriving at a local courthouse, Chrisean and her baby were intercepted by police, and she was later escorted out of the building alone.
TMZ disclosed Chrisean was placed in handcuffs over a felony fugitive warrant, and she is being held without bail. According to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections website, Chrisean is currently considered a fugitive in connection with drug charges, including possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute, dating back to 2022.
The media outlet also mentioned an additional assault with a deadly weapon charge, although it isn't clear where that charge stems from. TMZ said it's a possibility Chrisean could be extradited to Oklahoma where the bulk of the charges originate.
Chrisean Rock was also sent to jail in August 2022 after an altercation with Blueface.
According to TMZ, the TikTok star was arrested outside of the Whiskey Row bar in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Aug. 21, 2022. A bystander filmed Chrisean and Blueface engaged in a heated altercation which escalated to a physical fight. In the video, Chrisean and Blueface are talking on the patio of the bar when she suddenly stands up and punches him twice in the face.
Police told TMZ that Chrisean was arrested for "misdemeanor charges of criminal trespass and disorderly conduct," after she bypassed security and forced her way into the bar. Blueface posted several Instagram stories about the incident and tried to clarify the circumstances surrounding Chrisean's arrest.
In his Instagram stories, Blueface says that Chrisean stole his cell phone in the street and then ran into Whiskey Row, which was technically closed. He says he told a friend of his to go get his phone, at which point Chrisean allegedly attempted to hit the said friend a couple of times. Naturally, that person gave up the chase. Blueface says he then entered the closed bar and was told by staff he and Chrisean couldn't be in there for obvious reasons.
Blueface then went on to say in his Instagram stories that she was hiding under barstools and acting strangely, clearly upset about something she saw on his phone.
This is apparently what led to the eventual altercation that went down on the empty patio of Whiskey Row. Despite punching Blueface two times in the face and allegedly attempting to hit his friend, she wasn't arrested for assault.
Chrisean Rock has had a difficult life, to say the least.
While there is certainly no excuse for this type of behavior, having a little context certainly never hurts. Chrisean grew up in Baltimore, Md., one of 12 children in an abusive household. Her saving grace was running track. "This is where I release all my anxiety," she told Baltimore's WBFF in July 2020. At the time, she was 20 years old and was running track at Santa Monica College in Los Angeles, Calif.
Chrisean moved frequently around Baltimore City because her father was incarcerated for 11 years of her childhood. During that time, she and her siblings were raised by their mother who had to work often. Sadly, Chrisean's mother fell prey to addiction, which added more stress and pain to an already difficult situation.
In an incredibly moving part of the interview, Chrisean recalls her mother braiding her hair when she was little. She starts to cry and touches the back of her head, repeating herself. "She used to braid my hair and walk me to school, and things like that," Chrisean shares. Those are the good times, before her mother can no longer get out of bed.
When Chrisean's father eventually came home, she would often witness him beat her mother. They quickly went from living in an apartment to staying with friends, to technically being homeless.
Finding track as well as a coach and teammates who loved and supported Chrisean is what changed her life, so much so that she went on Fox's Ultimate Tag in June 2020 where she won $10,000. "Since I didn't have the childhood I should have had, now I can have the future I deserve," she told the outlet. Hopefully that will still come true despite her multiple run-ins with the law.
