B.G. had a challenging upbringing in Uptown’s 13th Ward. After his father’s tragic death when he was 12, he turned to street life, dropped out of school, and started dealing drugs. It was during this time that he began rapping and crossed paths with Brian ‘Baby’ and Ronald ‘Slim’ Williams, the heads of Cash Money Records, leading to his partnership with then-unknown Lil Wayne as the duo, The B.G.z. The release of their debut album “True Story” in 1995 marked the start of B.G.’s solo success. His net worth saw a positive trajectory.

The formation of the group The Hot Boys, which included B.G., Lil Wayne, Juvenile, and Young Turk, led to their debut album “Get It How U Live!” in 1997, prior to Cash Money signing a major-label distribution deal with Universal Records. B.G.’s solo album “Chopper City in the Ghetto” in 1999 achieved nationwide success with the hit single “Bling Bling”, propelling him to stardom and improving his wealth, evident in his flamboyant displays of success.

Subsequent successes with The Hot Boys’ second album “Guerrilla Warfare” in 1999 and B.G.’s own album “Checkmate” in 2000 further contributed to his growing fortune. He later founded his own label, Chopper City Records, and released several albums that solidified his position as a hip-hop star, significantly increasing his wealth.

Following a dispute over money, B.G. left Cash Money Records and released albums through his label and other affiliations. However, his career was interrupted in 2012 when he was sentenced to 14 years in prison for illegal gun possession and witness tampering.

B.G. has a son, rapper T.Y., and little is known about the mother of his child.
