Blueface could be coming home soon, at least according to his mom, Karlissa Saffold.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Saffold in Los Angeles this week, where she revealed that while his release is coming soon, she was told to keep the exact date underwraps for security and privacy reasons.

"Well today I got a call and I can't tell you exactly cause he's like, 'Don't be telling my exact date,” but we're down to the last stretch. We're days away," said Saffold. "I have the coming home party. Make sure you guys get your tickets for the celebrity Blueface coming home party. I'm going to be picking him up with his kids. His girlfriend got us a limo so you know I'm excited."

Even though Saffold won't reveal the release date, the California Incarcerated Records and Information Search website states Blueface's "parole eligible date" is in "December 2025."

Earlier this week, Blueface's father, Johnathan Porter Sr., posted a public warning urging his son to avoid drug users when he's released, something Saffold told TMZ that she understands but won't overstep.

"I don't think there's anything that we can do but coach him and remind him of what happened in the past as much as we can," said Saffold. "But he's an adult now, and we all have to accept that. He's 28 years old. His decisions moving forward,he's going to have to be fully accountable for. I'm going to hold him accountable; his dad is going to hold him accountable."

She added, "If we see him start to move with the wrong kind of people and we know who those people are, we'll just remind him was it worth it and he'll have to make that decision."

When asked about Blueface's youngest son, Chrisean Jr., with Chrisean Rock, Saffold doubled down on recent drama, claiming Chrisean has been telling people Blueface isn't the father. She also reacted to viral images showing Chrisean's trashed hotel room this week, saying she hopes the baby is being properly cared for.
