Blueface has voiced his disagreement with Rubi Rose‘s view of men pursuing women in relationships, and offered his own perspective, with the help of the Bible.
The situation began on Saturday (May 13) when Rubi Rose offered her theory on how dating should work, noting that men are responsible for making the first move.
“I feel like the man is supposed to pursue the woman… ion text/call guys first ever. Unless it’s my man and we locked in. Am I childish or that’s how it’s supposed to be?” she wrote.
It quickly caught the attention of Twitter users, and spread like wildfire. It wasn’t until Blueface joined the conversation that things got interesting.
Rose is ill informed, according to the LA native, likely because she has “never seen a Bible.”
"That’s because she never seen a Bible lord bless her heart,” the “Thotiana” rapper commented on a screenshot post of Rubi’s tweet.
Taking it a step further, he suggested in a separate tweet that “men should never chase women.”
Blueface’s thoughts on relationships are interesting to say the least, especially given his on-again-off-again (and often tumultuous) relationship with Chrisean Rock, the future mother of his child.
Since coming together in 2020, the pair’s relationship has been rocky. Upon Chrisean’s announcement that she was pregnant, Blueface vehemently denied the child was his and said she was “unfit to parent” — he even suggested she get an abortion.
As recently as last week, the rapper once again expressed doubts over Rock’s parenting abilities after he arrived home at a blaring smoke alarm and what appeared to be charred materials from an attempted fire started by her.
“What is wrong with you?” the rapper said as he pointed the camera toward Chrisean, who appeared to be casually strolling about. “This is what you gon’ do with a newborn baby on the way — set the house on fire? This bitch is dumb.”
Blueface even referred to her as a child, explaining that if “you leave a child too long by herself,” doors break and things around the house are charred up.

Du Blonde has released a new single, ‘Next Big Thing’, which features a collaboration with Skunk Anansie singer Skin. Watch its music video below.
The track, issued on Tuesday (October 8), is the latest glimpse into the singer-songwriter’s upcoming fourth album ‘Sniff More Gritty’, set for release on November 15 via Daemon TV, after a series of single releases following August’s ‘TV Star’. In the song, backed by fuzzy alt-rock fury, Du Blonde sings lyrics pulled from a laundry list of unrequested “words of advice” they’ve received through their career.
Skin joins Du Blonde in its catchy chorus, where they sing: “Where you going? / What about the rest of us? / Hey, where you going? / What about the rest of us?“, as if conjuring the voices that once accosted them. The music video, directed by Ericka Clevenger, sees Du Blonde possessing several onscreen personas – a violent abducter, a nun, and a demon.
“‘Next Big Thing’ is the result of my first 15 years in the music industry, from audience members shouting ‘Take your top off!’ during my first shows at 15, to label executives telling me to be less ‘sensitive’ about being sexually harassed,” Du Blonde reveals in a press statement.
“Every line in the song is something that has been personally said to me by folks in the industry, but speak to almost any woman or femme-presenting musician and they will have stories to match.”
They also share how Skin had been an influence not just on them, but on “kids like me in the 90s” for being “outspoken about her experiences as a frontwoman of a rock band in a male-dominated field.
“It’s pioneers like her who paved the way for a lot of young girls and queer kids who didn’t necessarily see themselves on TV or global stages, and I’m so grateful to have her join me on this track.”
Other guest artists on ‘Sniff More Gritty’ include Against Me!’s Laura Jane Grace, Maximo Park’s Paul Smith and The Futureheads’ Ross Millard.
