As the verbal fight got heated, the Dirt Bag rapper who was wearing white boxing gloves at the time lost his patience and punched the man several times in his face.

The man is then seen stepping back, drawing a knife from his jeans pocket, and charging towards Blueface. The video cuts off before the musician is stabbed in his leg.
In his interview with TMZ, Kaminsky stated that the man told the singer, "I'm gonna kill you." Witnesses added that the suspect drove off in a black Tesla with his dog.
Internet users were unimpressed with Blueface and many commented that it was the singer who "threw the first punch."
