B.G.: How a Traffic Stop Led to 14 Years in the Feds

Before the fame, platinum plaques, and notoriety, Christopher Dorsey — better known as B.G. — was just a kid from New Orleans’ 13th Ward. He helped build Cash Money Records into a dynasty and became a voice for the streets.

But in 2009, everything changed. A routine traffic stop in New Orleans East spiraled into a federal case — and eventually, a 14-year prison sentence.

In this documentary, we break down the story behind B.G.’s early years, his history and fallout with Cash Money, the case that sent him to the feds, legal challenges tied to his music since being released from prison, and more.
