blueface george floyd discount shopping furniture store outrage black lives matter
Blueface caused quite the uproar after he filmed himself asking for a "George Floyd discount" while buying furniture.

Blueface was on his clown sh*t on Friday (June 5th) when he uploaded a video of himself on his Instagram story, asking a sales associate if he could get "that George Floyd discount" while he was buying furniture. The novelty rapper was doing some shopping at LA Furniture as part of what appears to be a brand sponsorship. He shared some clips of himself browsing the storeon his IG story, showing off the different pieces.

He later posted these videos onto his account directly, but it appears he may have deleted one of the clips in which he makes reference to the recently deceased George Floyd, who was murdered by police in Minneapolis last week. "Ay, could y'all tell 'em to give me that George Floyd discount?" Blueface asks the salespeople in the deleted clip. "I need that Black Lives Matter discount."

Although he did end up taking it down, these jokes definitely didn't sit well with some people, especially since Blueface appears not to have used his platform to bring attention to the issue at hand.
