B.G. has risked being put back in prison after talking about weapons during a recent livestream, while still on parole.
The Hot Boys rapper was speaking on Instagram Live while wearing a red hockey mask, presumably for Halloween, when he said, “The chopper with the knife on it.”

He then quickly realized that he shouldn’t have said that, interjecting: “No, no, no. I’m on paper, I ain’t doing no violating, no guns involved. I take that back. I ain’t got the chopper with the knife on it, I just got the knife. And it be fake, you heard me? I got federal nightmares and I ain’t know nothing.”
As of this writing, officials have not yet commented on the incident or indicated that B.G. may have consequences to face.
B.G. was released from prison last September but is still on supervised release for another year. Per the terms of his release, he is not allowed to possess any firearm and has to perform 400 hours of community service.
B.G. served over a decade behind bars for firearm possession and if he wants to continue to release music he has to submit all his lyrics in advance to his probation officer,

United States District Judge Susie Morgan called the government’s attempt to censor B.G.’s lyrics “unconstitutional” – but she did grant the government the right to look at his lyrics in advance. The judge said that if the state had any objections, prosecutors could attempt legal action.
In a statement about the ruling, B.G.’s attorney David Z. Chesnoff told XXL: “Mr. Dorsey [B.G.] is pleased the that Honorable Court found he did not violate the terms of his supervision and would not restrict his artistic work by ordering his lyrics be controlled by the Government. He intends on resuming his career consistent with the court order,” the attorney said in a statement.
The issue arose after B.G. was accused of violating the terms of his probation by releasing songs the government accused of glorifying a life of crime.
B.G. also landed himself in hot water for performing a concert with Boosie Badazz without prior approval and collaborating with Gucci Mane, a convicted felon.

It was eventually ruled that he did not violate his probation through the collaborations.
