But the artist known as BG must provide the government with copies of any songs he writes moving forward, ahead of their production or promotion – and, if they are deemed to be inconsistent with his goals of rehabilitation, prosecutors could move to toughen the terms governing his supervised release.
Not really, this is basically punishing him for the thoughtcrime of talking about using guns.
They also ordered him to do 400 hours of community service, I guess for the "trouble" of having a hearing. If his songs are too spicy, they can revoke his right to supervised release (AKA send him back to prison).
How many times have you heard of a situation where there's a man threatening to kill his girlfriend and the cops do nothing? Let the man write his lyrics, he was put in prison for illegal gun possession resulting from a traffic stop - he didn't fucking kill anyone.
How is that not punishment for speech? If this is the new standard you could send ppl on probation back to prison for anything the court deams negative
