— Blueface has been sentenced to four years for assaulting a security guard at a club in San Fernando Valley, his father says. The assault was a violation of his probation.

They gave him four years.” Blueface’s manager Wack 100 later told fans some time’s already been served, so Blueface will only spend three years behind bars.
