Chrisean Gets Massive Face Tattoo Of Blueface And Moves Back Into His House (VIDEO)
We imagine that, in the hood reality TV world (ie. Zeus or, as Kanye put it, “the exploitation business”), this makes all the sense in the world. From TMZ:
On Friday, Chrisean burst onto IG with a newfound faith in the father of her baby boy — she updated her profile pic with one of the “Thotiana” rapper’s mugshots but more shockingly, announced she was moving back into one of his houses!!!
Fans were confused and displeased … the last time these 2 were spotted publicly, they both had conflicting stories but left every indication they had a fight, and a very bloody one at that!!!
She also posted a pair of new pics with their kid, but went out of her way to show support for Blue by making sure her “Jonathan” signature face tat was visible.

A Waco rapper and admitted member of the street gang Crips was sentenced to prison Thursday on multiple felony counts that include violent acts against the mothers of his children.
Wesley Takquan Lewis, known by his rapper name Hotboy Wes, was sentenced to 15 years in prison by 19th State District Judge Thomas West after Lewis pleaded guilty to 10 counts alleged in six separate indictments.
Lewis, 28, appearing virtually at the hearing from the McLennan County Jail, pleaded guilty to two enhanced counts of assault family violence, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, unauthorized use of a vehicle, endangering children, criminal mischief of more than $2,500 and theft from a person in offenses ranging from 2020 to 2023.
