Swatting at King of Crabs Restaurant
On August 23, 2026, deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department descended on Blueface’s King of Crabs restaurant in the 26200 block of Bouquet Canyon Road, Santa Clarita, after a 911 call reported a shooting. The rapper—Johnathan Michael Porter—and his partner Nevaeh Akira were inside with their newborn son, Johnathan Jamall Porter Jr., when officers surrounded the building, pointed firearms at the couple, and ordered them outside. Video from the livestream shows Blueface briefly handcuffed, kneeling with his hands raised, while officers searched Akira and placed the infant in a police vehicle. The scene was posted on social media the following day, August 24.
Earlier Swatting at Canyon Country Residence
A month earlier, on July 21, 2026, a similar false-report prompted a massive police response to the Porter’s home on Juniper Springs Drive in Canyon Country. The caller claimed an assault with a deadly weapon and alleged that Porter had shot his girlfriend and tied up their daughter. Deputies arrived, detained Porter, and conducted a search before determining the call was a hoax.

Both incidents were closed without charges.

Context and Public Reaction
The swatting episodes unfolded just days after Porter and Akira welcomed their son on August 18, 2026, a birth livestreamed on the platform Kick. Blueface later addressed the August 23 incident in a livestream, describing the false accusation of shooting three people as “great for content” and noting that the video would spread widely. Coverage of the events has been provided primarily by entertainment-focused outlets, which frame the incidents as part of a pattern of false emergency calls targeting the rapper.
