Blueface has been ordered to open his wallet and pay the victims of the Las Vegas strip club shooting back in 2022 — and the judgment amount is staggering.

TMZ is reporting that Euphoric Gentleman’s Club — where the shooting took place — is due to receive a check for more than $13million from the “Thotiana” rapper, per the judge’s orders. The breakdown of the payments involves $12.6million in lost revenue, $198,000 in lease damages, and $84,000 in lost wages for salaried employees.

Euphoric Gentleman’s Club won by what’s called summary judgment, which is a judgment entered by a court against a party without a full trial. In civil trials, summary judgment is often requested when there’s no dispute of what’s known as “material fact” (that is, the actual legalities of the case that led to the case being brought in the first place).

It’s unclear if Blueface plans to appeal the judgment, as he doesn’t seem to have an attorney of record representing him in the civil trial.

Previously, Blueface was sentenced to serious probation time thanks to his role in the Las Vegas, NV, strip club shooting that left a man injured.

The infmaous rapper was brought before the court on October 2 to answer for the charges. His victim, Kentabius Traylor, also testified about the incident — which happened back in 2022 — and told the judge that the “Thotiana” rapper began shooting at him after he made a comment about the car he was driving.

Clark County District Court Judge Kathleen E. Delaney then sentenced Blueface to 24 to 60 months in prison — but because it is a suspended sentence, those months will merely be served as probation.

As part of the terms of his probation, Blueface is not allowed to be in possession of any alcohol or drugs, and neither is he allowed to be in possession of any weapons (including guns). He is also not allowed to be in the Strip corridor, or the Downtown corridor, of Las Vegas, unless he has to be there for work. And if he violates any terms of his probation, Blueface will be ordered to serve the remainder of his time in prison.

Blueface pleaded guilty to one felony count of discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, and one misdemeanor battery charge.

He was also looking at attempted murder charges, but those charges were dismissed as a part of his probation.
