Blueface was sentenced to four years in prison in August 2024, but he and his team have repeatedly said he is expected to serve much less actual time behind bars, closer to around 10–18 months in total when credits and time already served are counted.

How long was Blueface locked up?

News reports in August 2024 confirmed that Blueface (Johnathan Porter) received a four‑year prison sentence after a judge revoked his probation tied to a 2021 assault case in North Hollywood. His manager Wack 100 stated that Blueface had already accumulated roughly 440 days of credit in custody and projected that, with California’s rules on serving a fraction of the sentence, Blueface could be released after serving about one‑third of the remaining time, putting his expected total time locked up at roughly 10 months more from that point. In a later radio appearance from behind bars, Blueface himself estimated he would be home around March or April 2025, again implying he would serve substantially less than the full four years.

In other words, the “official” sentence is four years, but the realistic expectation from his camp has been around a year and a half or less of actual time locked up when credits and prior days served are factored in.

Timeline at a glance

  • January 12, 2024: Blueface was arrested and booked into Van Nuys jail in Los Angeles on a probation violation, later housed at Men’s Central Jail.
  • August 8–11, 2024: A judge handed him a four‑year prison sentence for violating probation connected to the 2021 security‑guard assault case; outlets like FOX 11, TMZ, and BET reported the sentence and the credit of approximately 440 days already served.
  • Post‑sentencing: His manager suggested he could be out in “roughly 10 months,” based on sentence credits and time already served, while Blueface later told a radio show he expected release in spring 2025.

These details fuel much of the ongoing forum and social‑media discussion around “how long was Blueface locked up,” with many users distinguishing between the four‑year headline sentence and the shorter actual time he is expected to physically spend behind bars.
