Rapper Blueface Reportedly Detained While Livestreaming in Southern California

Deputies detained Blueface after a bogus swatting call interrupted a Kick livestream dinner, and he was released from jail hours later, officials said.

  • On Monday, October 19, 2026, authorities arrested Johnathan Porter, known as Blueface, in Santa Clarita, California, after deputies responded to a false report of an armed man at a local business.
  • Deputies investigated the report as a "bogus swatting call," alleging Blueface failed to follow commands during the search, which delayed their investigation.
  • This incident follows several similar false reports involving Blueface, including an August detention in Santa Clarita and a September emergency call to his Los Angeles-area home.
  • Footage from early Tuesday, October 20, 2026, showed Blueface released from the Los Angeles County Jail, while his mother, Karlissa Saffold Harvey, addressed family matters on Instagram.
  • While investigators found no armed man at the business, the arrest raises questions about the rapper's probation status, and authorities have not identified the emergency caller.
