B.G. was sentenced to 14 years in prison in July 2012 after pleading guilty to two counts of possession of a firearm and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice stemming from a 2009 traffic stop arrest.
In September 2022, U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan rejected a motion submitted by another federal prisoner requesting to have his 14-year sentence commuted.
After rumors about his early release began in late 2022, B.G. took to Instagram on Sunday (September 3) to let fans know he’d be coming home soon and that he was celebrating his last birthday inside.
“After 12 winters and 13 summers, I see the end zone,” he wrote. “It’s my last #Birthday being buried alive. This year I’m celebrating the whole Virgo cycle, matter of fact, from this year forward I’m living and celebrating like everyday is #MyBIRTHDAY.

“The main focus, is to stay focused. I’m not letting nobody rob me of my productivity, prosperity, positivity and peace of mind. My dreams then got bigger and my vision is clearer.
“13 years was more then enough time for me to change the reckless path I was on. I’m getting back in the 100MillionDolla race, and my big homie gave me the route. #RNS.”
