Rapper B.G. Is About That Life :: Facing 40 Years in Prison
31-year-old former New Orleans rapper Christopher Dorsey, more popularly known as B.G., pleaded guilty to gun possession charges and witness tampering. Back in 2009, B.G was pulled over for a mere traffic violation but the results have been more than he bargained for. When the cops searched the car they found three handguns, several loaded magazines, extended clips and drugs. At the time of the search, B.G was already a felon so he convinced fellow passenger, 17-year-old Demounde Pollard, to say everything in the car was his, according to NOLA.com.
But in court on Wednesday, December 7th, the rapper owned up to his crimes when he realized he could be facing a prison bid of 40 years. The prosecutors have disagreed to a plea as B.G. refused to cooperate with them to help close other notorious New Orleans cases. In his less than discrete new track, “I Ain’t Tellin‘,” he raps,
“I never snitch, never tell, if the laws come and get me, I’m gonna sit my ass in jail. I don’t talk on the phone, ‘less i’m talkin’ to bitches.”
Back in 2009, he explained to MTV that,
“I know what comes behind what I do. I know the consequences and repercussions of what comes behind it. Where I’m from, it’s just like, that first draw is a muthaf—a, the bullets raining out the sky. It’s like that for real. It’s a murder capital. They dropping like flies. I stay in the suburbs. All my neighbors are white and football players and doctors and dentists. I lay my head there, but when I get up in the morning, I gotta go to the projects and get some grits and cheese and sausage and toast. It’s just something about that ‘hood. I wanna post up and sit on the porch and get my hair braided. I’m just ‘hood.”
B.G’s sentencing date is set for March 14, 2012.
