On March 30th, The Game was involved in a scuffle with a member of an opposing basketball team in a Hollywood Pro-am basketball game that took place last weekend. TMZ revealed a video that gave us insight into what really transpired. During this game the west side rapper had an exchange of words with a player from the opposing team which resulted in The Game striking the unknown man in the face. It was said that this incident took place after threats were made by either The Game or the unknown individual however, both parties are pointing the finger at each other making it hard to decipher who really made the threats.
This already seems like a big deal right? A multimillionaire rapper striking an unknown individual; it has law suit written all over it but when it appears that a situation cannot get any worse guess what happens? It gets a lot worse. It turns out that The Game did not strike just any regular individual, it just happens that the man he assaulted happens to be an LAPD officer who is new to the force. According to the report, The Game made threats against the officer’s life before the punch was thrown but The Game’s camp says it was the officer who made the threats while also implying that he would recover a handgun from his gym bag.
As of right now The Game is being investigated for aggravated battery while the officer (who still remains nameless) is being investigated as well. Until this investigation reaches a conclusion The Game was suspended from the JBL Basketball League but his team is still allowed to play in his absence.
