Blueface was briefly detained on August 23, 2026, by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies when authorities responded to a reported shooting at King of Crab, a Santa Clarita restaurant affiliated with the rapper. The incident occurred when the rapper was livestreaming with his fiancée, Nevaeh, and their newborn kid, who were eventually escorted away from the scene while deputies searched the area.Blueface's viral incident exploredAccording to MyNewsLA, the deputies arrived at King of Crab at around 5:27 p.m. on August 23 after hearing a report of a shooting. Blueface, whose real name is Johnathan Michael Porter, was seen in social media videos complying with law enforcement's instructions as he knelt with his hands raised before being handcuffed. Deputies secured the establishment as they investigated.However, Sergeant Josh Nemeth of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station later verified that officers discovered no evidence of a crime at the scene. Nemeth later told CNS:“Deputies responded, completed an investigation and determined no crime occurred at the location.”Blueface was detained throughout the investigation and later released. Authorities also stated that no injuries were reported, and no arrests were made aside from Blueface's temporary detention.Although authorities haven't confirmed that the incident was a swatting, multiple reports indicate that authorities suspect the emergency call was fake. According to IBTimes UK, two different accusations emerged online following the incident. One said that police were responding to rumors of a shooting at the restaurant, while another said Blueface assaulted Nevaeh Akira.Neither allegation has been fully confirmed, and law enforcement has yet to publicly release the actual contents of the emergency call or identify those responsible.Since deputies subsequently decided that no crime had happened, many online viewed this incident as another apparent swatting directed against the rapper.The incident happened just days after the rapper and his fiancée welcomed their first child, Johnathan Jamall Porter Jr., on August 18. Nevaeh was seen holding the couple's newborn in videos circulating online while deputies inspected the site. Officers were also seen escorting Nevaeh and baby Johnathan Jamall Porter Jr. away from the scene as part of their investigation. Neither Nevaeh nor the infant were hurt during the police response.Blueface was targeted in a previous swatting incidentThe latest incident occurred around a month after Blueface was targeted in another alleged swatting at his Canyon Country home on July 21. Deputies reacted to a false report that numerous individuals had been shot.The rapper, who was livestreaming at the time, was temporarily detained until cops determined that the report was false. Authorities eventually determined that the prior incident was a swatting and continued their investigation into the source of the fake emergency call.Swatting refers to making a fake emergency report requesting an armed police response to a specific place. The strategy frequently targets livestreamers, gamers, influencers, and other public individuals whose real-time location is publicly known online. Aside from disrupting broadcasts, swatting may jeopardize victims, bystanders, and responding cops while diverting emergency resources away from legitimate events.Although authorities have not officially stated that Sunday's restaurant incident was another swatting, no crime was discovered at the scene, and the circumstances closely resemble the fake emergency call that targeted the rapper just weeks before.Stay tuned to Soap Central for more information.
