New Orleans rapper BG won’t go back to prison – but judge will scrutinize lyrics

Musician is on supervised release, and judge’s reading will decide whether he is adequately attempting to ‘re-enter society’

The rapper BG is no longer at risk of a return to federal prison after performing alongside fellow artists with prior felony convictions while on supervised release from custody, according to prosecutors.

But a federal judge is prepared to scrutinize every lyric the musician, whose legal name is Christopher Dorsey, has written since he got out of prison on gun charges to determine whether he is adequately attempting “to re-enter society as a responsible, law-abiding citizen” – or whether his supervised release conditions should be tightened, according to new court filings.
