Blueface’s Four-Year Prison Sentence Leaves Jaidyn Alexis Unbothered

by

Yesterday (August 9), Blueface attended a court hearing, where he and his loved ones got some disappointing news. The rapper was handed a four-year prison sentence, which is far from what they had been expecting. His mother Karlissa Saffold had already been preparing to welcome him home. His manager Wack 100 predicts he’ll be out in roughly ten months. That’s if Blueface gets credit for 440 days served, and the state only makes him serve one-third of his remaining sentence.

Of course, it remains to be seen what actually plays out in this case, though the lengthy sentence has elicited big reactions nonetheless. Aside from Blueface’s parents, one person supporters have been particularly curious to hear from is Jaidyn Alexis. She has two children with the rapper, though they appear to have gone their separate ways earlier this year.

She’s kept pretty quiet since Blueface turned himself in back in January, and seemingly rekindled his bond with the mother of his third child, Chrisean Rock. Regardless, fans are curious about how she feels about all of this. Based on a Tweet posted shortly after the sentencing, she couldn’t care less, or at least doesn’t care to share her feelings on the internet. “dnd in the studio,” she wrote simply, making a point to leave out any mention of the major news.

Fans in Jaidyn’s replies are praising her for focusing on herself and her children amid her ex’s legal issues, and are looking forward to hearing more music from the “Stewie” performer. What do you think of Blueface receiving a four-year prison sentence at his court hearing earlier this week? Are you surprised or not? What about Jaidyn Alexis’ recent message about hitting the studio? Are you looking forward to hearing whatever it is she’s cooking up?

Blueface’s Mom Karlissa Saffold Gets Emotional Over His Four-Year Prison Sentence

by

Earlier today, Blueface appeared in court for a sentencing hearing, and a judge handed him a four-year prison sentence. The “Thotiana” rapper’s father shared the unfortunate news with fans on Instagram, expressing his disappointment in the verdict. Blueface first turned himself in back in January for an alleged probation violation and has been behind bars ever since.

Fans and loved ones were hopeful that this sentencing hearing would mark the end of Blueface’s incarceration, but evidently, they did not get the news they were looking for. His mother Karlissa Saffold even told TMZ last month that she was planning a welcome home party for his return. Now, she’s taken to Instagram to provide fans with an update, and to weigh in on the verdict.

Karlissa Saffold Thanks Her Fans For Their Support

“I want to get on here and thank everybody for all the love and all the support today, all the prayers. I’ve seen all the prayers and I thank y’all so much,” she began tearfully. “I don’t want y’all to think that god didn’t show up today because he did, and if you was in the courtroom, you heard Johnathan take accountability, you heard Johnathan sound like Johnathan. He’s in his right frame of mind. We didn’t get the verdict we wanted today, but we got some closure, we got new beginnings, and we’re all hopeful for this to go by smooth and quickly.”

Luckily, it sounds like Blueface is doing fairly well despite the circumstances. As expected, Saffold’s emotional message has been met with even more supportive messages from fans.

Blueface Receives Four-Year Prison Sentence For Probation Violation

by

Blueface has been behind bars since January when he turned himself in for an alleged probation violation. Today, he was scheduled to appear in court for a sentencing hearing, where he’d finally learn his fate. The hearing was originally expected to take place late last month but was ultimately delayed, leaving the rapper’s fans and loved ones more eager than ever to see what takes place. It was possible that he would be released and be able to finally go home to his family. Unfortunately, however, that’s not what played out.

In anticipation, Blueface’s father Johnathan Porter Sr. hopped online to share a heartfelt message with supporters. He asked them to pray for him and his son and expressed hope that the judge would go easy on him in court. Porter Sr. later provided followers with an update, according to DJ Akademiks, revealing that Blueface was sentenced to four years in prison.

Blueface’s Father Reacts To His Son’s Sentence

For obvious reasons, he appeared heartbroken and wished his son luck. Blueface’s father isn’t the only one of his parents who was pushing for his release, however. His mother Karlissa Saffold has also been particularly vocal about her son’s legal issues. She even requested the help of Kim Kardashian earlier this year. Saffold told TMZ last month that she has a welcome home party planned for Blueface, which will have to be pushed back by quite a bit.

Blueface is certainly a polarizing figure, but social media users were also hoping that he would return home sooner rather than later, if only for the sake of his youngest child. Chrisean Jr.’s mother Chrisean Rock is also currently incarcerated and might be looking at an eight-year sentence for drug charges. What do you think of Blueface’s father revealing that the rapper was sentenced to four years in prison?

Chrisean Rock’s Potential Prison Sentence Has Social Media Showing Very Little Sympathy

by

Chrisean Rock is someone who has certainly made a whole lot of headlines over the years. Overall, this is due to her rocky relationship with the father of her children, Blueface. Although these two have seemingly gotten back together, it has been under some unfortunate circumstances. Blue has been in jail since the start of the year and it remains to be seen when he will be released. Moreover, Chrisean is also in prison, and there was a recent update on her stay.

According to My Mixtapez and other sources, Chrisean is staring down an 8-year prison sentence thanks to two separate charges. However, this is simply a potential sentence. Typically, sentences can be a lot lighter, although there is no telling what can happen next. What we do know is that this news sent shockwaves throughout the internet over the weekend. However, many fans did not respond in a sympathetic tone.

Chrisean Rock Faces A Few Years

As you can see, many of the tweets below featured social media users claiming that they predicted this downfall. Others said that Chrisean had this coming considering how she was acting over the last couple of years. “Honestly she worshiped Blue as if he was her God & this is her punishment for putting man before God. God had no choice but to physically separate her from Blue for her to learn no man comes before him or her child,” one person wrote. “This what Spirit do when you refuse to listen. You can pray all you want but if you don’t change your actions you block those same prayers,” said another.

Tory Lanez’s “Relevant Evidence” In Megan Thee Stallion Case Shot Down By Attorney General

by

There is a major update in regard to the “relevant evidence” that Tory Lanez was claiming to have. To catch you up to speed, the Brampton, Ontario, Canada rapper recently asked the California court to hear out a statement from his driver, Jauquan Smith. A witness at the scene of the crime, Lanez was hoping that Smith’s explanation that it was Megan’s friend Kelsey Harris holding the gun would be able to end his 10-year sentence. It was one of a few wins for the “Prison Tapes” MC, as the court was willing to hear out the evidence. However, that victory was short-lived, as HipHopDX is reporting that the California Attorney General’s Office is not accepting it.

In Smith’s affidavit, he claims that he did not have good recollection of who actually shot Megan Thee Stallion. Deputy Attorney General, Michael C. Keller, is the man responsible for making this decision to shoot down Lanez’s evidence and he did so in an informal response yesterday. What helped Keller come to this was a previous undisclosed statement from Lanez’s previous lawyer, George Mgdesyan.

Tory Lanez’s Driver Is Not A “Helpful Witness”

Because George didn’t call Smith in 2022, Keller and the state came to the same conclusion. Essentially, they knew how Smith would go about his statements. “Because, obviously, his testimony is gonna be putting the gun in the hands of Kelsey”, Keller said. He also did not feel that because Smith claims to not know who pulled the trigger it “does not directly contradict [Megan]’s testimony that petitioner [Lanez] was the person who shot her”. Furthermore, he also cited that there is plenty of other evidence that goes against Lanez such as a DNA test and texts making it hard to believe it couldn’t have been anyone else but the Canadian.

What are your thoughts on Tory Lanez’s “relevant evidence” not being so according to the attorney general? What will this mean going forward for the incarcerated rapper? Do you still think its #FreeTory? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

R Kelly Uses Statute Of Limitations Argument Against Supreme Court For Sex Charges

by

In February of 2023, highly maligned R&B singer R Kelly was handed down a 20-year prison sentence for possessing child pornography and inducing minors. That was tacked onto his 30-year bout on racketeering and sex trafficking charges in a New York federal court in 2022. None of this is obviously breaking news, but this short amount of background information is important. The reason being is because there is a new update in regard to the former of the two.

According to TMZ, the artist and his attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, are looking to whittle down his overall time behind bars by using the statute of limitations argument. Since these crimes took place in the 1990s, they feel that the PROTECT Act (2003) does not apply here. Bonjean pointed a specific detail of this law which is that there is no clause that says you can essentially charge someone for an alleged conduct that before the year the act was passed. However, it isn’t necessarily black and white for this reason.

R Kelly & His Attorney Feel The PROTECT Act Shouldn’t Be Applied

Kelly covers his mouth as he speaks to members of his entourage as he arrives at the Leighton Criminal Courts Building for a hearing on June 26, 2019 in Chicago, Illinois.

If you remember, R Kelly was convicted for these crimes in 2020. Because of this, prosecutors believe the PROTECT Act is in fact fair play. Also helping their side is the fact that this law extends the statute of limitations indefinitely for alleged crimes committed post 2003. The Supreme Court will come to a conclusion in the next few months whether to hear Kelly’s appeal or not.

What are your thoughts on R Kelly and his attorney making the statute of limitations argument? Do you think they have a point in regard to the PROTECT Act not applying here? Or does the court have more of a solid argument? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding R Kelly. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

YFN Lucci Receives Co-Sign From Fani Willis As He Continues To Push For Early Release

by

A few months ago, YFN Lucci was hit with a 20-year sentence after pleading guilty to violating the Street Gang and Terrorism Prevention Act. Overall, the sentence was split in two, with 10 years of prison and another 10 years of probation. However, over the past few months, Lucci has been looking to have his sentence reduced. His lawyers have been hard at work, and there have seemingly been some inroads made to get him home sooner rather than later.

For instance, District Attorney Fani Willis has come through with a letter of support for Lucci. Given her role in the YSL Trial, this is certainly going to ruffle some feathers. However, the fact remains that Willis is supportive of Lucci getting home early. “The state does not object to the defendant, Rayshawn Bennett being released,” Willis wrote. However, she did stipulate that she would only be okay with his release if it meant that he continued to showcase good behavior.

YFN Lucci Seeks A Commuted Sentence

Over on The Shade Room, some took issue with the favoritism, noting that she is going after Thug but is advocating for Lucci. Others noted that celebrities get preferential treatment, but the average person would never get this kind of co-sign. Overall, it is certainly a complicated issue that can be quite polarizing for a variety of reasons. Only time will tell whether or not Lucci gets his sentence commuted. For now, his chances seem to be getting better.

Remy Ma’s Son Faces Potential Life Sentence For Alleged First-Degree Murder

by

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Remy Ma’s 23-year-old son Jayson Scott was charged with first-degree murder, criminal weapon possession, reckless endangerment, and more. He was arrested last week for his alleged role in the 2021 murder of Darius Guillebeaux. He’s accused of shooting the 47-year-old after a dispute in Queens. Yesterday, he and his alleged accomplice were arraigned.

Reportedly, Scott could spend the rest of his life behind bars for his alleged crimes. Prosecutors accuse him of being hired to commit them. “We are charging the defendants with a cold-blooded killing on a public street,” District Attorney Melinda Katz explained, also adding, “Deadly gun violence has no place in our neighborhoods and we will remain steadfast in getting illegal guns and those who use them off the streets of Queens.”

While we sincerely appreciate the love and support we have received from all of you, we kindly ask for privacy as our legal team works to prove Jayson’s innocence.”

Bishop Lamor Whitehead Receives 9-Year Prison Sentence For Extortion & Fraud

by

After a court found him guilty of extortion and fraud, Bishop Lamor Whitehead received a prison sentence of nine years for his various convicted crimes on Monday (June 17), according to Daily News. Moreover, for those unaware, the specific charges are wire fraud, attempted extortion, lying to the FBI, and other related incidents connected to three separate situations. One of these involves how Whitehead scammed one of his parishioners’ mother out of $90K of her life savings, promising to renovate a home for her to live in. Instead, he bought designer clothes and a BMW, tried to extort $5K from someone for a car repair job, and falsified bank documents for a $250,000 loan.

“The defendant was trusted by many in his community,” assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica Greenwood expressed. “He was the bishop of a small church in Brooklyn and a self-described businessman. He was a friend to the mayor of New York City.” Furthermore, she claims that Bishop Lamor Whitehead took advantage of his congregation’s trust and made up stories about Hollywood heavyweights for their cash. “He promised to use the money to buy a fixer-upper home that he would renovate for [his parishioner’s mother] to live in. And she believed the defendant, a man who, by that time, had become a mentor and spiritual adviser to her son.”

Bishop Lamor Whitehead Sentenced To Nine Years

Of course, this is far from the only controversy Bishop Lamor Whitehead has experience in, albeit probably the most serious. Nevertheless, he previously made headlines for challenging D.L. Hughley to a million-dollar boxing match. “Wait ’til y’all hear this interview,” Whitehead shared about his talk with Hughley. “I’m sitting there like, ‘Yo, bro. Brother. Yo, I actually like you. I watch your movies.’ You know? And he was [screams] like a little girl! [scream] Like a little chihuahua!”

Meanwhile, this incident resulted from a robbery that took place during one of Bishop Lamor Whitehead’s live-streamed services. Perpetrators stole about $400K in jewelry during the live event, which caught many’s eyes as a scandalous story almost two years ago. Clearly, things took a turn at one point, and now he has much bigger fish to fry. It looks like the court closed this case, but we’ll see if any other details or developments emerge.
