B.G. maybe heading back to prison

[MegaTronBomb!]

Not when you're in his situation.

You need to be able to show you're working and getting paystubs. He should know that. Making music isn't a "job" if you're not being paid consistently. He'd be better off if he were working at a label and getting a check every two weeks. But just going to the studio and recording isn't going to pass for gainful employment, after coming home.

And this is one of those things you have to deal with when you get locked up. You can't come home and get back to the old routine like you still don’t have to deal with the state. They still run your life for a minute.

Mind you, none of this would've saved him from this situation if he violated because he was around felons without permission.

 

[thelonious21]

he should’ve just stayed in jail if he wasn’t gonna abide by the rules.. I don’t agree with it but them the rules you agreed to

A lot of cats do that.. because it's so easy to violate parole when you live a certain life.
10 years on papers when every single one of ur associates are felons and do street shyt is a ticking time bomb

Needs reform

and there should be public outrage with those involved in this situation being held accountable

that’s just downright trying to break the man - basically he makes more than his PO so his PO said to “get another profession”

Stupidest shyt ever Gucci and Boosie are millionaires and he’s a rapper, what’s the problem with him working with them smh

the dumbest shyt ever is not doing your due dilligence. case in point

"Authorities have said that Dorsey needs permission from the court to associate with those convicted of felony charges."

I'm no law expert but this is a basic issue with anyone that has a record. you would think that dude would be preemptive about avoiding violations after the years he did. some people never change their ways and the system knows how to handle them. it's not on nobody else but dude to be up on how to not violate. i'm not saying i agree with their action just that he has no caution.

it's not that simple. dude is saying if he can't work as a rapper without being around other felons then he can't work as a rapper

yes there should be outrage to deny him the right to his profession but they have a point on the law side of things. you gotta think as a lawyer and play devils advocate. legally there is an issue...

People forget BG was an non violent drug felon not Al capone

Bro gotta understand that if he's not gainfully employed, that doesn't count.

You can still make music and all that, but those people want to see you working a real job. Those are the terms. Paystubs and sh*t. Recording joints in the studio doesn't mean you can show that you're employed somewhere and getting paid. But ego is an issue and a lot of rappers come home and don’t want to go get a 9 to 5. Dude needs to go get a little bullsh*t job, and then do his music when he's not working.

This has nothing to do with the situation.

He can't associate with other felons.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

If hes smart he'll say they recorded in separate studios but this nikka is dumb so theres probably footage

You not too bright!

He was performing at a live concert in person with Boosie.

No one is denying him his profession, he has the choice not to rap with felons. Or he has the right to ask permission to do so. If he can not or does not want to do that.....

That's because he's not officially "working".

The state sees what he's doing as just hanging out and socializing, if he's not on payroll at a place of business. Felons are around each other all day long at real jobs. There was a story about how Starbucks in DC was hiring mad felons in some kind of second-chance program. But they're together at work. He's trying to operate like he still doesn't owe the state mad sh*t after being locked up. If all of them worked in a Amazon factory or some sh*t, he'd be cool. But he's just recording and sitting in the studio. That ain't gonna fly.

Only way that's gonna be allowed, is if he's around them someplace where he's working an actual job.

None of what you're saying is even valid in his case.

Hot Boys rapper BG arrested in Las Vegas; authorities say he violated probation by performing

A U.S. District Court in Louisiana charged Hot Boys rapper BG this week for violating the conditions of his probation after working as a hip-hop artist in Las Vegas following his release from federal custody in January.

A U.S. District Judge in Louisiana signed off on charges against New Orleans rapper BG this week for violating the conditions of his probation after working as a hip-hop artist in Las Vegas following his release from federal custody in January.
On Feb. 8, BG or “Baby Gangsta,” whose legal name is Christopher Dorsey, went on stage in Las Vegas alongside rappers Lil Boosie and Gucci Mane.

Dorsey also recorded the hip-hop album "Choppers and Bricks" with Gucci Mane, whose legal name is Radric Davis, while in a halfway house in Las Vegas. The album was released on Dec. 15, 2023.


Dorsey is required to have explicit permission from the court before “entering into self-employment.” Authorities say federal probation officers questioned Dorsey after the concert, telling him to find a different job.





“I’m a rapper. That (is) my profession,” Dorsey said in response, according to court documents.
Dorsey also released music videos on YouTube and Apple Music on Feb. 16 and Feb. 24, authorities said. Dorsey needed the court’s permission to produce both of those videos but did not get it before posting them, authorities say.
In addition, both Lil Boosie, whose legal name is Torrance Hatch, Jr., and Davis have been convicted of felony charges. Most recently, Hatch was arrested by federal agents in San Diego, California in June of 2023 for allegedly possessing a gun as a felon. Davis plead guilty in 2014 to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in Georgia.

Authorities have said that Dorsey needs permission from the court to associate with those convicted of felony charges. In working with Hatch and Davis, the court argued he did not follow the conditions of his release. District Judge Susie Morgan, appointed to the bench in 2012 by former President Barack Obama, signed off on a warrant for Dorsey's arrest March 22.






In 2012, Dorsey was convicted of federal charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and obstruction of justice and sentenced to 14 years in prison. He left prison early in September and then, a Las Vegas halfway house in January after receiving credit for time served.

“It’s crazy how after paying my debt to society with 12 and a half years of my life, I come home and still ain’t free,” Dorsey said in an Instagram post Friday. “I been doing everything the right way, and it seems like that ain’t enough.
“I been going through it behind the scenes and got a muzzle on for the time being, but I’m confident I’ll come out on TOP. I always do.”

Dorsey also thanked his fans, who offered words of encouragement in his comments. In photos of him shared as a part of the post, Dorsey wore a New Orleans Saints sweatshirt.





Dorsey worked with Cash Money Records in the late 1990s and early 2000s alongside Juvenile and Lil Wayne as a member of the Hot Boys. He also topped charts as an individual artist with hit single “Bling Bling” in 1999.

Starting Feb. 1, Dorsey began two years of court-mandated supervised release. He was released on his own recognizance after being arrested in Las Vegas on Wednesday. But authorities could send him back to federal prison to serve the remainder of his sentence if his probation is revoked.
Details on upcoming court dates weren’t immediately available.

If you don't see how what I posted is relevant to what his case is and how he's possibly violated the terms, I don’t know what else to tell you. It's right there in the article. "Self-employment" means you have to still show proof of income when you come home. You still have to have a viable means of being paid regularly. Which he currently does not have.

Beanie Sigel went through the exact same thing, and he had a major label deal and an advance. It doesn't matter to the court. So Dame gave him a title to operate under because all of SP were felons and he needed to work with them and get back to music. Hov did the same with Emory. Went to court and said that he'd be working at his company, which also had felons on payroll. Suge did the same with his security detail. Hired felons, but had the permission, so they could work and not be violated, as long as it was under employment. This is not anything new. Sh*t happens all the time. But like someone else in the thread said, BG didn't handle it properly, so that's why he's in this position.

Nobody cares if you've rapped your whole life. There are steps you have to follow when you come home to cover yourself from being violated again if you didn't go through the process the way you should have.
