According to Fox 11, Blueface’s prison sentence derives from a 2021 assault at a Hollywood Lounge, which sparked the accusation that he violated probation.
His real name is Johnathan Porter.
According to TMZ, the sentencing was suspended for years until the rapper was accused of being caught with drug paraphernalia, which sparked the judge to hand down the sentence. He received the maximum sentence possible, according to TMZ.
