Blueface has been incarcerated since January, when he turned himself in for an alleged probation violation.

Today, he was supposed to appear in court for a sentencing hearing, where he would finally discover his fate. The hearing was scheduled to take place late last month but was postponed, leaving the rapper’s fans and loved ones more eager than ever to see what happens. It was probable that he would be released and return home to his family. Unfortunately, that is not what happened.

Blueface’s father, Johnathan Porter Sr., took to social media in anticipation, sharing a poignant message with supporters. He requested them to pray for him and his son, and he hoped that the judge would be lenient in court. Porter Sr. later gave fans an update, according to DJ Akademiks, saying that Blueface had been sentenced to four years in jail.

For understandable reasons, he looked heartbroken and wished his son luck. Blueface’s father is not the only one of his parents that has advocated for his release. His mother, Karlissa Saffold, has also been quite vocal about her son’s legal problems. She even sought the assistance of Kim Kardashian earlier this year. Saffold told TMZ last month that she had arranged a welcome home celebration for Blueface, but it will have to be pushed out quite a bit.

Blueface is undoubtedly a divisive figure, but social media users were hopeful he would return home sooner rather than later, if only for the sake of his youngest child. Chrisean Jr.’s mother, Chrisean Rock, is presently incarcerated and might face an eight-year sentence for narcotics charges.
