On Friday, August 9, 2024, a Los Angeles judge reportedly sentenced rapper Blueface to four years in prison after violating probation. This news surfaced amidst the recent report of his ex-girlfriend, Chrisean Rock, being locked up in Craig County, Oklahomam in July.
Netizens took to X to react to the Blueface's sentencing as the couple’s 11-month-old son, Chrisean Jesus Malone Jr., would remain without either of his parents.
For the unversed, Blueface was sentenced after assaulting a security guard at a San Fernando Valley, California, club back in 2021. His manager, Wack 100, confirmed to blogger @TheDonatShow that the rapper was given a four-year sentence.
Wack 100 explained that, as the singer had already spent over 400 days in jail, his sentence was reduced to three years. He went on to add that the Thotiana singer will only be serving 33% of the remaining prison sentence. Wack 100 then claimed, “He’ll be home in 9–10 months.”
The singer’s father also posted some videos on Instagram Story on August 9 to tearfully confirm his son’s sentencing. Prior to this, his father said in a livestream that he hoped that the judge showed him “mercy and leniency.”
Meanwhile, X users took to the platform to react to the rapper's sentencing, with one person stating:
"They really failed that baby as parents"

Why was Chrisean arrested? Details revealed as Blueface reportedly faces a four year probation
Chrisean Rock was arrested in front of a Los Angeles courthouse two months ago (July 10) as she attended Blueface’s court hearing. TMZ confirmed that Rock was recently transferred to Oklahoma, where she still remains detained.
The arrest stemmed from her legal issues related to her possessing controlled dangerous substances with the intent to distribute. She also faced a charge for failing to have a tax stamp on the drugs.
XXL reported that she is likely to serve up to eight years in prison.
Meanwhile, her sister Terrine took to Instagram on August 3 to update Chrisean’s fans about when she would return home. She claimed that she would be back by the time of her son’s birthday.
Rock was reportedly aware of a warrant being out for her immediate arrest in Oklahoma. However, she refused to turn herself in. She claimed in an Instagram Live that she wished to watch her son grow up rather than spend time behind bars.
Netizens now await to see whether the duo’s sentencing will be reduced by the time of their son’s birthday.
