On Monday (May 13), AllHipHop broke the news about the latest update in B.G.’s legal saga. According to the site, United States Attorney Maurice E. Landrieu Jr. has filed a new motion in the rapper’s case, which points out B.G.’s recent song lyrics, arguing they promote violence, drug dealing and discourage people from cooperating with law enforcement.

Prosecutors are reportedly requesting a hearing to address their concerns where they will mandate that he provide a written copy of all his song lyrics to his probation officer to be analyzed for approval. In addition, B.G. will be banned from working with anyone who has a felony conviction without prior approval from the court.

B.G. Faces Legal Hurdle Following Release From Prison
B.G. was released from prison last September after serving 11 years for gun possession and witness tampering. Since his release, he’s remained productive, graduating from the Hope for Prisoners program shortly after his release and putting out a joint album with Gucci Mane titled Choppas & Brickslast December.
However, in March, he was arrested for probation violations. Authorities claim B.G. went against a federal mandate when he performed with Boosie at a show in Las Vegas on Feb. 8. They also pointed out B.G. working with Gucci Mane, a convicted felon, on their joint album. B.G.’s attorneys denied the rapper violated, saying he had permission to perform with Boosie.
