LOS ANGELES - Rapper Blueface has been sentenced to four years in prison.
The Los Angeles native, whose real name is Johnathan Porter, was sentenced for violating his probation in connection with the 2021 assault of a security guard at a North Hollywood lounge.
According to TMZ, his manager Wack 100 told TMZ Hip Hop that he was able to get Blue's sentencing suspended for the past few years, but after he was caught with drug paraphernalia, a judge was forced to hand him the maximum sentence.
Wack told TMZ that he's confident Blue will be home in roughly 10 months… already having served 440 days.
