Blueface’s dad, Jonathan Porter, is getting love online after revealing he still works as a truck driver and doesn’t depend on his son for money.
In a recent clip making the rounds, Porter kept it straightforward. “I work hard every day, y’all,” he said. “He ain’t scared to get up and go to work every day. He don’t play. I don’t rely on him. Nope. I get mine. But it’s cool every now and then I get a bonus from him, you know what I mean?”
Porter Sr. described the occasional help from his son as a “bonus” rather than a primary source of income, emphasizing that he continues to earn his own living.
The moment has drawn mostly positive reactions, with people respecting the fact that Blueface’s father is still out here handling his own business instead of fully leaning on his son’s success.
This isn’t the first time Porter has been spotted working. Back in July, Blueface was live on Kick when he randomly ran into his dad mid-stream. The rapper was apartment hunting when he noticed his father nearby in a blue Amazon safety vest. “What are you doing here?” Blueface asked. “That’s so random.”
His dad got out, they hugged, and when Blueface asked what he was up to, Porter simply replied, “Delivering, baby.”
Blueface, whose real name is Johnathan Michael Porter, was born in Los Angeles in 1997. His parents separated around 2000 when he was a young child. He spent time living with both his mother, Karlissa Saffold, in the Santa Clarita Valley area, and with his father in Oakland. Porter Sr. has generally kept a lower public profile than Blueface’s mother, though he has occasionally appeared in family-related content over the years.
Blueface has spent much of 2026 streaming his daily life on Kick alongside girlfriend Nevaeh Akira. Although he continues to perform and release occasional singles, the Los Angeles rapper has not dropped a full-length project since 2020.
Online reaction to Porter Sr.’s latest remarks has been overwhelmingly positive, with many calling his attitude “real” and praising the idea that parents should maintain their own independence whenever possible. Porter Sr. himself made it clear that while he appreciates the occasional gift from his son, he’s still committed to earning his own paycheck.
As of early September 2026, the clip continues to spread online, with one line in particular becoming its defining message: “I get mine.”
