Blueface Addresses Backlash Over Daughter’s Mall Tantrum

Los Angeles rapper Blueface found himself defending his parenting approach after a video of his three‑year‑old daughter, Journery, erupted into a full‑blown tantrum in a shoe store went viral on Instagram.

The clip, posted on April 22, shows Journery pulling shoes off the shelves and flinging them onto the floor. When Blueface leans in to calm her, she pushes him away, continues to knock items over, and eventually storms out of the store with her father following.

Later, in the car, Blueface expresses disappointment: “I don’t like the way you embarrassed me at the mall today,” he says. Journery retorts, “Shut up,” to which he replies, “Alright, wait ’til we get home,” in a light‑hearted tone.

Fans and critics quickly accused him of being too lenient. In response, the rapper posted another Instagram video asserting, “I don’t beat little girls up,” before adding, “But I’ll beat the f** out of a grown‑a*s b**ch.” He explained, “My daughter doesn’t know better. She’s just adjusting to her emotions and being irrational.”

Blueface’s remarks have sparked a broader conversation about discipline in the public eye, with many weighing in on the fine line between harshness and understanding when it comes to young children.
