Blueface‘s mother, Karlissa Saffold, is turning to Kim Kardashian in hopes that she can help her son get out of jail.
As The Shade Room previously reported, the ‘Thotiana’ rapper turned himself in at the LA County Jail on January 12 after violating his probation in a 2021 Las Vegas assault case.
Blueface’s incarceration has not only set social media ablaze, but also rattled his family, particularly his mom.
While the 26-year-old is not expected to be released until July 2, per FOX LA, his mother took to Instagram Story on Friday (February 2), asking Kim if she can offer a helping hand.
“CAN YOU HELP ME GET MY BOY OUT AND ON HOUSE ARREST,” she wrote on top of a selfie of the Skims founder.
“FOR JAVAUGHNS SAKE [prayer-hand emojis],” Saffold added, referring to her grandson.
For six years, Kim has dedicated herself to all things criminal justice and prison reform. She’s helped a string of people to be pardoned from their sentences.
It’s not hard to see why Karlissa wants Kim’s help. Her journey started back when she helped Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother serving a life sentence for a non-violent drug offense.
She took up the cause, used her influential voice, and fought for Alice’s release. Former President Trump granted clemency in 2018 with Kim’s help. Additionally, she actively uses her platform to advocate for others who have been unjustly sentenced.
Kim has also worked with #Cut50, a national initiative to cut crime and incarceration across all 50 states, per the New York Times. While some may question why Saffold would reach out to the TV personality, her attempt to get Kim on board and help Blueface was at least worth a try.
In the short time that the father of three has been away, his on-off girlfriend and child’s mother, Jaidyn Alexis, found herself getting cozy with a former women’s basketball player at a recent club appearance.
Meanwhile, Chrisean Rock has kept herself in the headlines as recently as last week. The Zeus Network star revealed her enormous face tattoo of the California rapper, despite them no longer being together.
Outside of hoping Kim can lend her law skills to help Blueface regain his freedom, Karlissa also manifests that her son will find a new leading lady in his life. In an interview with TMZ, she boldly stated that Megan Thee Stallion would be the perfect woman for him.
It’s not the first time she’s said this, either. She previously touched on her desire to see Meg and Blueface together while on IG Live in September 2023. “‘Megan and Blue need to make a baby,’” she said, per HipHopDX. “Yes, I don’t know why y’all was trying to act like she too good for my son. The b**ch just got shot in the foot, come on now.”
The famous rappers already appear to have shared some history in the past.
In October 2023, Blueface appeared on the ‘The Jason Lee Show.’ During their chat, he bragged about Meg having allegedly once performed oral sex on him.
“I’ve already been there and done that,” he said when Lee brought up Karlissa’s comments about wanting him to date the H-Town Hottie, per Hot New Hip Hop.
“I might have got some head… a long time ago,” he added.
He elaborated, saying their alleged hookup occurred around the time they were both featured on XXL’s 2019 Freshman cover.
“XXL Freshmen, five years ago. BET Awards, five years ago. I did all of the stuff already […] I don’t say too much, but if asked, I’m gonna give you nothing but the truth.”
Per TMZ, Blueface was removed from the general population of inmates shortly after his arrival. He has now been placed in what is known as administrative segregation. This essentially means that Blueface has a cell all to himself. He’ll be away from the hustle and bustle of the general population.
The reason for his segregation remains a mystery. Although, it’s typically done for safety reasons, either for the inmates themselves or the prison staff. Being taken out of the general population certainly comes with its benefits. The aforementioned publication claims he gets his meals delivered straight to his cell.
Additionally, he can leave his cell for up to seven hours a week to participate in educational classes or religious services if he wishes. He also has access to a rooftop yard where he can call his family or lawyers. Talk about having some breathing room! The rapper also gets access to a television in the shared unit and can even visit the library. It’s not exactly a Netflix subscription, but it’s more than most inmates get.
