'Thotiana' Rapper Blueface Has Been Arrested for a Third Time — Here's Why

And just like that, another public figure has been arrested, again!

Folks who are familiar with rapper Blueface (real name: Jonathan Porter), are likely aware of his controversial shenanigans — from his volatile relationship with reality star Chrisean Rock to his baby mama drama.

Over the years, Blueface has been no stranger to the headlines, which many believe has taken away from his music career. Now, those sentiments have come to light once again with news of Blueface’s third arrest.

So, what gives? Why was Blueface arrested? Here’s the rundown.

Blueface just can’t seem to keep himself out of trouble. On Jan.12, 2024, the rapper was booked into Van Nuys West Lockup and is currently being held at Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles, according jail records viewed by Distractify. The records show that Blueface was slated to appear in court for sentencing on Aug. 9, 2024.

On that same day, his father announced on social media, as reported by The Shade Room, that his son had been sentenced to four years in prison.

The sentencing stems from a 2021 assault on a security guard and his subsequent probation violation related to it, according to Fox 11. Sadly, this isn't the first time Blueface has been in trouble with the law.

According to Fox5Vegas, Blueface was booked and charged on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, for robbery in Las Vegas, Nev.

The outlet initially reported that the rapper was held on a $20,000 bond in the Clark County Detention Center, and he was later released, per the Clark County Detention Center records.

Following his release, Blueface took to social media, appearing unfazed by the charges. On June 7, Blueface shared a video of himself walking to a car where his on-again off-again girlfriend and baby mama Jaidyn Alexis was in the driver seat.

“Ain’t no better feeling than walking out of the jail and seeing your b---h waiting right here for you,” the rapper said as he opened the car door. “How long have you been waiting right here?”

“Babe, I’ve been waiting for hours,” Jaidyn said. “I got a blunt and I got a bottle.”

In case you’ve been out of the loop, Blueface was arrested for attempted murder and discharging a gun at and/or into an occupied structure on Oct. 8, 2022, regarding a Las Vegas shooting on the 6300 block of Windy Road, per Fox5Vegas.

Sources told TMZ that the arrest was part of a sting operation. Six to eight cops were parked in unmarked vehicles and made the arrest outside of Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles.

At the time, TMZ confirmed that Blueface’s bail was set at $50,000.

Interestingly, the outlets shared that the robbery charge is a direct violation of the stipulations put in place after the shooting charges.

At the time, Blueface’s lawyers, Lisa Rasmussen and Kristina Wildeveld, told TMZ, “We look forward to vigorously defending him in both cases.” However, it now appears that Blueface will indeed have to serve his time.
