Attorneys representing B.G. have released a statement addressing the confusion surrounding their client’s probation terms, particularly in relation to his lyrics. Recent reports suggested that the former Hot Boys member, who was released from prison last year after serving time on gun possession and witness tampering charges, would need approval from government officials for any future lyrical work.
In March, it was reported that the 43-year-old New Orleans artist, whose real name is Christopher Dorsey, could face a return to prison due to a potential violation of his supervised release conditions following a performance with Boosie Badazz. Despite B.G.’s assertion that he had been abiding by the rules since his release, he felt he was being unfairly targeted.
B.G.’s lawyers, David Z. Chesnoff and Billy Gibbens, clarified that there is no requirement for his lyrics to be approved by the court. In a joint statement to Complex shared by Alex Ocho, the attorneys expressed B.G.’s relief that the court did not find him in violation of his supervision terms and did not impose restrictions on his artistic freedom. They confirmed that B.G. plans to continue his music career in compliance with the court’s orders.
