Blueface has been ordered to pay millions after he was sentenced over a shooting at a strip club in Las Vegas.

According to a report TMZ published on Monday, October 23, a judge ruled that the controversial rapper must pay exactly $13,072,482 to the former owners of the Euphoric Gentleman's Club in Sin City following a shooting that occurred at the venue. Since the incident happened last year, the strip club's owners sued Blue after the strip was permanently shut down. His bill covers $12.6 million in lost revenue, $198,000 in lease damages, $84,000 in payroll expenses to employees they had to pay after the club shuttered and more.

The shooting left the victim Kentavious Traylor with injuries on his left hand after he was grazed by one of the bullets. Traylor also claimed that the shooting ruined his life and prevented him from finding work. Earlier this month, Blueface was sentenced to up to three years probation after he took a plea deal in the criminal case. He was originally charged with attempted murder but he pleaded guilty to lesser charges of battery and discharging a firearm at or into an occupied structure.

Blueface isn't serving time at the moment. However, he could face two to five years in in prison if he messes up again. As of this report, the rapper does not have a lawyer assigned to the case. He also reportedly did not show up to his court hearing to challenge the recent ruling.
