Blueface Receives 4-Year Prison Sentence
Blueface has been sentenced to four years in prison, according to the Los Angeles rapper’s father who took to Instagram with the news.
“Y’all can probably tell the results by how I look. They gave him four years,” Blueface’s father, Johnathan Porter Sr., said in an Instagram clip shared as he drove away from the courthouse. He later yelled out of frustration.

Ahead of the sentencing, Porter Sr. asked his followers to pray for his son’s freedom.
“I’m hoping and praying that the judge shows him some mercy and some leniency and free him today. I need y’all to pray up for me. Help me pray for Blueface and let him out today. Free Blueface. Let the famous crip free.”
The news of Blueface receiving a four-year sentence was also confirmed by manager Wack 100, who shared outside of the courthouse that the “Thotiana” rapper will not be serving the full sentence, as his current time behind bars will count as time served, bringing it down to three years.

His sentencing was a result of him violating his probation stemming from a 2021 incident where he assaulted a security guard at a San Fernando Valley club.
The news comes just weeks after Clark County District Court Judge Kathleen Delaney granted the “Dear Rock” rapper probation for up to three years in a separate case in Las Vegas. Under the terms of his probation, he was ordered to abstain from alcohol and drug use, including marijuana, stay out of distance of the Las Vegas strip unless otherwise hired to appear, attend impulse control counseling, and other conditions. Now that he’s been hit with four years, these requirements are no longer a concern.
