Former Hot Boys member and Cash Money Records artist B.G., whose real name is Christopher Dorsey, has been released from prison after serving 12 years of a 14-year sentence, RollingStone reports. The rapper was arrested in 2009 when police stopped him in New Orleans and found three guns and a loaded magazine in the car he was in. Two of the guns were reported stolen, and the car itself had been stolen from a rental car parking lot.

B.G. got his start in the music industry when he signed with Cash Money Records at the age of 12 in 1993. He later became one of the founding members of the label's hit group, the Hot Boys, in 1997, alongside Lil Wayne, Turk, and Juvenile. Their 1999 album “Guerrilla Warfare” was a commercial success, selling over 142,000 copies in its first week and reaching No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart.
