Baby Blue recently posted a photo of himself to social media where he asked fans to send luck his way as he was scheduled to stand before a judge. The Shade Room reposted the picture and Blue gave an update to the outlet once his meeting was over. “Had a good 1st day in court,” he commented. “Facing Life in prison but #ImInnocent – Everything ain’t always what it seems.”
