Blueface on Getting Ben Franklin Face Tattoo, Signing to "Crip Killer Wack"
Blueface revealed the story behind his famous Ben Franklin face tattoo and his journey to signing with controversial manager Wack 100. Blueface explained that getting the tattoo was a sober, deliberate decision—an irreversible move symbolizing his commitment to his rap career. Despite warnings from friends not to get it, Blueface knew the tattoo would cement his identity and close doors to conventional jobs, forcing him to hustle in music.
He also detailed how Wack 100 initially reached out after his daughter discovered Blueface’s music. Though skeptical at first, given Wack’s notorious reputation (including the nickname “Crip Killer Wack”), Blueface eventually decided to trust him over traditional industry players who didn’t understand his background. After persistent calls and meetings, Blueface signed on, which he credits for elevating his career from grinding solo to major label success, all while embracing his unique, unapologetic persona.
