Former Cash Money Records rapper B.G. has reportedly inked an open letter to fans updating them on his current situation behind bars as he serves out a 14-year gun conviction sentence.
In the first portion of the letter, B.G. gives props to his fans and promises new music is coming.
“Greeting’s, Hot boys + Hot Girl’s, Soulja’s + Souljarette’s, Real niggas + Real Bitches, Ladies + Gentlemen.

He also says fans can expect more interactions and updates in the near future through social networking outlets.

Last month, former Hot Boys member Juvenile reacted to B.G.’s legal woes.
“I mean 14 years was unexpected – I knew he was gon’ get some time …. I ain’t know it was gon’ be 14 years. It hit me like everybody else. Like, ‘Man, d*mn. Did it get that bad?’ He was on paper; he was on probation, and he had like a little drug charge or something that he got caught with. And, all that just fell in on him at one time ’cause he had like three open charges when they caught him.” (XXL Mag)
Prior to beginning his sentence, the rapper discussed his lengthy bid.
“I mean, everything is everything. I got 14 years, I got 11 off that, I’ve been gone for 15 months so that puts me at 10, 11 — I’m a convicted felon and I shouldn’t have had a firearm. I had a firearm on me and I can’t take that back,” B.G. said in an interview. “I took my licks and I got to do my bid. It is what it is. At the end of the day, you have to live with the decisions you make as a man. I made my bed and I’ve got to lay in it. You know how the feds operate. If you don’t want to give them nothing, they may be extra harsh on you.” (Q93)
