BG, born Christopher Dorsey, was sentenced to 14 years in jail on Wednesday in New Orleans. The conviction comes from possessing a firearm, conspiring to obstruct justice and other charges. U.S. District Judge Helen Berrigan also tacked on an additional 3 years of supervised release after he gets out of jail.
The 31 year old rapper, who is a convicted felon, was pulled over in 2009 when police found the gun. The rapper tried to convince a friend to take ownership of the gun. This is where the obstruction of justice charge stemmed from.
B.G. is most famously known for being an intricate part of the beginnings of New Orleans Cash Money. He was featured on some of their biggest hits, including Bling Bling which was so popular, in 2003 the term "Bling" was added to the Oxford Dictionary.
