B.G. Faces 10 Years in Prison for Gun and Conspiracy Charges

Former Cash Money rapper B.G. is facing up to 10 years in prison after being indicted on gun and conspiracy charges.

In a statement issued on Thursday (May 19) U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said that the New Orleans native -- real name, Christopher Dorsey -- is facing one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice and two counts of being a felon in possession of a fireman, following a November 2009 arrest.

B.G. and two associates were pulled over and arrested after a routine traffic stop in 2009, when police found three handguns, loaded magazines and extended clips in the rapper's car. B.G. and one associate were charged with illegally carrying firearms, while the third passenger was charged with drug possession.

The 30-year-old rapper is now accused of trying to pass off ownership of the illegal firearms to another passenger in the vehicle. If he is found guilty, B.G. can find himself behind bars for up to a decade.

B.G. parted ways with Cash Money Records after having a dispute with CEO Bryan "Birdman" Williams, and has since launched his own label, Chopper City Records. He released his eleventh album 'Too Hood 2 Be Hollywood' in 2009, and the his twelfth, tentatively titled 'It's All On U, Vol. 3' will likely be delayed by his current legal troubles.

jabaileydc, You are intitled to your opinion, however negative it is, but you never have the rights to call another human being trash. Truly B.G. made some mistakes and some really bads judgement calls, but he has made some serious money and shown some true talent. Ask yourself what are you capable of doing besides calling another human being trash. Aren't you among us human and apparently very unhappy with being a human being, so beware of what it is that you are assemble with, because the rest of us are human being like B.G. and we're not trash. Respect yourself and spend some time evaluating yourself. He's not calling you trash and you may find yourself in his shoes one day. God don't think you're any better than him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, God will bless you too, but you have to stop hating and learn the rules to the game. Don't bother to reply, that a messege from him. God Bless!

B.G, can't say the system failed you, because it's plain as the nose on your face, you failed to understand the system. Being a brilliant black artist was not enough for you to show out, you had to sell out too. Figured it out and try again. Pray young man, because god is a forgiving god and so are your true fans! I wish you well to do .

Just what ARE these things and why do they all look alike? Just sit back and watch. They'll soon enough destroy themselves. Good riddance to TRASH.
