A US federal judge has denied prosecutors’ request to prevent the rapper BG from promoting gun violence in his songs and concerts while on supervised release. The judge cited BG’s constitutional right to free speech but required him to provide copies of his songs for review. This move came after BG’s performance in Las Vegas alongside rapper Boosie, prompting concerns about his association with individuals with prior felony convictions. Prosecutors argued that BG’s lyrics glorifying violence contradicted his rehabilitation goals. Despite concerns, the judge declined to impose restrictions on BG’s subject matter but ordered him to submit his lyrics for approval. BG, known for the 1990s hit 'Bling Bling', served a 14-year prison sentence for gun-related charges in 2012. The case has sparked debate about artistic expression and rehabilitation in the music industry, with calls for more leniency towards black artists targeted for their lyrics.
