Rapper B.G. (Christopher Dorsey from the Hot Boys) went to federal prison mainly for gun and obstruction of justice charges.

Quick Scoop: What did B.G. go to jail for?

In 2009, during a traffic stop in New Orleans, police found multiple firearms in a stolen vehicle B.G. was riding in. As a convicted felon, he was not allowed to possess guns, which led to serious federal charges.

He later admitted to:

  • Being a felon in possession of a firearm.
  • Obstructing justice by pressuring an associate to falsely claim ownership of one of the guns.

Because of the combination of:

  • Guns in a stolen car,
  • His status as a felon, and
  • The attempt to cover it up (obstruction of justice),

he received a lengthy federal sentence that was widely reported as 14 years.

What about the more recent “going back to jail” talk?

After his release (his sentence was later reduced and he completed time in custody and a halfway house), B.G. was placed on supervised release. In 2024, he was arrested again over allegations that he violated the terms of that supervision by performing with other convicted felons (like Boosie Badazz and Gucci Mane) and working without the specific permission required by the court.

  • His supervision rules reportedly required:
    • Permission before “entering into self-employment” (like paid performances).
* Permission before associating with other felons.

These alleged violations sparked the “BG going back to jail?” discussions online, while his lawyers argued he actually had permission to perform and should stay free on supervised release.

TL;DR:

  • Original big case: felon in possession of firearms + obstructing justice after a 2009 traffic stop, which led to a 14‑year federal sentence.
  • Recent headlines: alleged violations of supervised‑release rules tied to concerts and associating with other felons, raising the possibility of him being sent back to prison.
