Blueface has channeled Mister Rogers’ memory in a commercial for a new reality show — starring him, of course — that will be airing on the Zeus Network, just one day after he turned himself in for a probation violation.
The “Thotiana” rapper appeared in the new promo on Friday (January 13), where he announced the auditions for the upcoming season of Rap Queens West. Blueface can be seen wearing a blue suit, singing a variation of the beloved theme song to Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

“It’s a beautiful day at Zeus today, a beautiful day at Zeus today,” he sang, even imitating Mister Rogers’ signature leg cross as he announced the upcoming reality competition.
Check out the commercial below.
The announcement comes just one day after Blueface turned himself in for a probation violation stemming from “baby mama drama.”
According to multiple online sources, the “Thotiana” rapper may end up serving up to a year in prison as a result.

Undated footage featuring the rapper has emerged on social media, and leading to speculation that Blueface will be away from the public eye for up to the next year.
His mother Karlissa Saffold took to her own social media pages on Friday (January 12) to suggest that Jaidyn Alexis and Chrisean Rock had a hand in her son’s situation.

“Jaidyn got him one charge, Rock got him the one that violated the other,” she wrote. “That’s why it’s so quiet. Praying everyone now understands why I didn’t want them together. Because parents want the best for their children.”
She continued: “I love them all but not together. Praying for everyone to listen to their parents. My baby is in jail and my heart is broken again. Because they don’t listen.”

Saffold then went into detail, suggesting that “Baby Mama #1” (Jaidyn Alexis) “threw a glass at security,” while “Baby Mama #2” (Chrisean Rock) “hit a fan,” and that their refusal to come forward and tell the authorities what happened has reportedly landed her son in jail.
The “Thotiana” rapper was on probation stemming from a 2022 shooting incident that saw a Las Vegas business get forced into closing its doors.

In October 2022, he was involved in a shooting at the Euphoria Gentlemen’s Club situated on the Las Vegas Strip, which resulted in one man being injured.
The controversial rapper (real name Johnathan Porter) was originally ordered to pay $13 million to the club to cover lost revenue, lease charges, and lost wages.
Blueface was originally charged with attempted murder over the incident, but he later accepted a plea deal which saw the charges reduced to battery and discharging a firearm.
He avoided any jail time but was sentenced to three years’ probation banned from owning drugs, alcohol, and weapons, and is not allowed to be in Las Vegas unless it is for work.

Violation of these terms would see him serve the rest of his sentence in prison.
Blueface has also been ordered to pay the club owner $14,386,164.23 due to his failure to pay the damages and additional interest being added to the original amount of $13 million.
