The rapper was arrested along with two other men after police found three guns and loaded magazine clips in the vehicle they were riding in. Dorsey and the other men were apprehended in a car that had been stolen from an Alamo rental car parking lot. Dorsey was once a member of Cash Money Records group The Hot Boys:

Christopher Dorsey, better known as B.G. or Baby Gangsta, was an original member of the 1990s rap super group the Hot Boys. His most recent album, “Too Hood 2 Be Hollywood,” came out in 2009 on Atlantic Records
