New Orleans rapper B.G. has reportedly once again been denied an early release from prison.
It’s been reported that despite letters of support from people like Birdman, Slim, Wendy Day, Gary Payton Sr., and others, U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan of New Orleans, Louisiana rejected the Hot Boys rapper’s handwritten request for a compassionate release on June 28.
“Dorsey complains of an outbreak of COVID-19 cases at his facility,” Morgan wrote. “But BOP’s website currently lists zero positive cases among inmates out of a total inmate population of 960 and one positive case among staff.”
B.G. has made numerous attempts to be released early with less than two years left of his 14-year federal prison term for possessing a firearm and tampering with witnesses.
After the Bureau of Prisons system went into lockdown due to unrest in USP Beaumont, he wrote his first motion from behind bars in February. He claimed that “murder and mayhem” were common in federal prisons and that the general public was unaware of what truly transpired there.
In addition to claiming that his health issues make him more vulnerable to COVID-19, he criticized his previous legal representation for its “incompetence” and denied attempts by the prosecution to “paint him as a violent individual due to his rap lyrics, adding that the only thing he’s ever killed was a microphone.”
