On Wednesday morning (December 7) New Orleans rapper B.G. (born Christopher Dorsey) plead guilty to felony weapons possession charges stemming from a 2009 arrest. The former Hot Boys member was arrested after he and his friends were pulled over for a traffic violation, and police found guns in the car. Yesterday B.G. admitted that some of the guns belonged to him.
According to Nola.com, the 31-year-old rapper—who was a convinced felon at the time of his rest—plead guilty to being in possession of a firearm and witness tampering. He admitted that he had conspired with one of the other passengers, Demounde Pollard to claim false ownership of the guns.
B.G. could potentially face up to 40 years in prison for his crime. Prosecutors have continued to build their case around the rapper, linking him to other notorious criminals in New Orleans. Footage of B.G. voicing support for a convicted killer, Telly Hankton, has been used as part of their case.
Back in 2009, B.G. told MTV News that he was optimistic about his gun case. "I know what comes behind what I do," B.G. said. "I know the consequences and repercussions of what comes behind it. Where I'm from, it's just like, that first draw is a mutha----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,” he continued. “ 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. The same way I came in the game is the same way I'm going out. I just can't see it no other way. I don't care if I sell 10 million, 20 million, 30 million."
B.G. will return to court for sentencing on March 14, 2012.
