The query “What happened to Blueface?” yields various responses contingent on which individual bearing the name “Blueface” is under consideration.
For instance, if one is referring to Tobias Funke from Arrested Development, he appears to be thriving, albeit confined within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Similarly, Karen Gillan’s portrayal of Nebula in the MCU has her doing well. In the case of Budimir Šobat, the Croatian freediver with an extraordinary ability to hold his breath for over 20 minutes, reports suggest he is in excellent spirits.
However, when the name “Blueface” brings to mind Johnathan Jamall Porter, the multi-faceted personality recognized as an intermittent boxer and acclaimed rapper, the situation takes a different turn. Known for his album “Find the Beat” and the collaboration “Thotiana” with Cardi B and YG, Blueface finds himself behind bars.
Delving into the reasons behind Blueface’s incarceration reveals a convoluted narrative. On January 12, 2024, he was sentenced to nearly seven months in jail due to a probation violation. This probation stemmed from an incident on October 8, 2022, when Blueface was implicated in the assault of a doorman at a Las Vegas strip club, an altercation that escalated with a gunshot fired at a departing car. His initial plea deal would have spared him jail time if he managed to avoid any further legal issues.
The exact circumstances leading to his return to custody remain unclear, but Blueface’s track record has made it challenging to argue for his adherence to a lawful path. In June 2023, Las Vegas’s News 3 reported his arrest for seizing a woman’s phone and kicking her at a casino, an audacious act given the pervasive presence of security cameras and witnesses in such establishments. Subsequent reports indicated that the charges related to this incident were eventually dropped. It appears that his most recent arrest, leading to the current incarceration, traces back to a distinct episode in 2021, where he assaulted a club bouncer for denying entry without proper identification.
Despite the legal entanglements, Blueface’s time in Los Angeles County Jail, as reported by TMZ, seems to be relatively comfortable. Described as having a setup with amenities like a TV, snacks, and access to a library, Blueface also has seven hours each day for education classes or religious services. His fiancée, Jaidyn Alexis, shared with social media followers that Blueface has expressed a surprisingly positive outlook on his time in jail, stating, “I love it here. It’s active. It’s cracking.”
As of now, Blueface is scheduled to be released from incarceration on July 2, 2024.
