    Rapper B.G., who was recently released after serving 11 years in prison on a gun-related charge, has been ordered to have all future songs approved by the government, according to a report.

    The rapper, whose real name is Christopher Dorsey, was arrested in 2009 on gun possession charges and was eventually sentenced to 14 years for two counts of possession and one count of obstruction of justice. On release, he was ordered to have all future lyrics approved by the government to make sure they are not "inconsistent with his goals of rehabilitation," according to the A.V. Club .

    B.G. will have to provide any future songs to the court, and, if the lyrics are seen as promoting violence or clashing with the terms of his rehabilitation, prosecutors will be able to strengthen the conditions of his release.

    Prosecutors initially pushed for the rapper to be prohibited from "promoting and glorifying future gun violence/murder," but Judge Susie Morgan rejected the idea and instead ordered B.G. to submit all future songs for approval.

    B.G., short for "Baby Gangsta," is on supervised release and was called into court after performing at a concert with fellow convicted felon Boosie.

    The conditions of his release prohibit the rapper from associating with other convicted felons, according to the Guardian .
