Cash Money artist B.G. may possibly be getting an early release from prison.
In July 2012, B.G. was sentenced to 14 years behind bars after pleading guilty to firearm possession. He also pleaded guilty to obstructing justice and convincing an associate to claim ownership of the gun.
However, in a recent Instagram live, Birdman announced that his Cash Money protégé is set to be released in a few weeks. If the information is true, that will mean B.G. could be a free man a year earlier than his release date of April 7, 2024.
In September, U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan rejected a motion filed by another inmate on B.G.’s behalf. The motion requested for the judge to have the rapper’s 14-year sentence reduced.
B.G. first requested an early release in February after the Bureau of Prisons system went into lockdown due to violence in USP Beaumont. During that time, the rapper wrote that “murder and mayhem” were normal incidents at the federal facility where he was located. He added that the public had no idea what was really going on behind prison walls. In addition, he claimed his health issues make him more prone to catching COVID-19.
In June, B.G filed another motion, which was supported by letters from Birdman, Slim, Wendy Day and Gary Payton Jr., to be released early. Unfortunately, Judge Morgan denied that motion as well.
