Rapper BG, currently
under his sentence in prison, may be released before his scheduled release
date, which is April 2024. Cash Money Records Rapper Birdman disclosed the same
in a social media live.

Birdman recently
requested Baby Gangsta’s (BG) compassionate release in July this year, by
writing a letter to US District Judge Susie Morgan on grounds that his release
would have a positive impact on society. He said BG can influence society
positively describing his experience over all these years.

The plea was also
signed by many other public figures and celebrities in the entertainment
industry but got rejected by the judge despite being the second time appeal.

The news of his
release has excited the hip-hop community but the validity of Birdman’s claims
isn’t yet confirmed. He also made similar claims back in September 2020, which
later proved to be false.
