    The rapper had a hearing on Friday to discuss his violation.

    His father, Johnathan Porter, was the first to share Blueface’s sentence, posting a series of emotional videos on Instagram Stories.

    Through tearful words filmed from his car, Porter expressed his anger about the judicial system and confirmed his son’s four-year sentence.

    “Stay strong son,” he wrote over one Instagram story.

    In another story, posted to X, an angry Porter screamed at the camera and spoke inaudibly.

    Blueface’s manager, Wack 100 , said the rapper would not be serving the entire four-year prison sentence, per a TikTok video from The Donat Show, which has been following the rapper’s legal troubles .

    The rapper has already spent over 400 days in jail after previous probation violations, so his sentence was reduced to three years on Friday based on time served.

    Wack 100 added that he expected the rapper would do a third of the time in state prison.

    “He’ll be home in 9-10 months,” the manager affirmed.

    SUSPENDED SENTENCE

    In 2023, Blueface was given a suspended sentence of up to five years for shooting a man outside of a Las Vegas strip club.

    He pleaded guilty to using a firearm and battery charges for the October 2022 shooting .

    The man, who was shot outside of Euphoric Gentlemen’s Club in Nevada, said he recognized the rapper from a conversation earlier in the night.

    The man said he made a joke about Blueface “speaking with some females in a cheap vehicle,” according to docs obtained by CBS affiliate KLAS .

    Per documents on the incident, “[The victim] was attempting to leave in his truck after the fight and stated the males may have thought he was ‘going for a gun’ and started shooting at him in his truck.”

    Blueface legal battles

    Blueface, 27, whose real name is Johnathan Jamall Porter, has had multiple legal battles

    September 2021- Blueface was arrested after attacking a security guard outside Skinny’s Lounge in Los Angeles.

    November 2022- The rapper was arrested and charged with attempted murder after a shooting outside of Euphoric Gentlemen’s Club in Las Vegas in October 2022.

    June 2023- Blueface was arrested for robbery in Las Vegas in June 2023.

    The rapper was arrested a month later and the plea deal he struck wiped charges of attempted murder and owning a gun by a prohibited person.

    During the trial, the victim who referred to himself as Kentabius Traylor, said he was “disappointed” and “lost faith in the justice system.”

    He also slammed the judge for letting Blueface avoid jail with the suspended sentence.

    “I just feel like this has not been done on my case, I mean this hasn’t been done on my behalf. I know people who get more time for stealing bubble gum, honestly. I know people who do more time for stealing TVs than they do for shooting somebody,” he went on.

    “I’m just completely disappointed in all of this.

    “I hate the way my name was ridiculed in social media before I could even find out about it. Like I said just this complete process has been a complete drop of the ball.”
