The Game is once again sparking debate online—this time over loyalty, relationships, and where friendship lines should be drawn.
During an appearance on Club Shay Shay, the Compton rapper told host Shannon Sharpe that he doesn’t believe dating a friend's ex is automatically off-limits, as long as certain boundaries are never crossed. The candid moment came as Sharpe pressed Game on friendship codes and romantic ethics.
“I think I’m cool with that,” Game said around the two-hour mark. “Love is a mysterious fruit; the person that’s dating your homie might be your soulmate, and if he didn’t marry or have children with her, then she moves back into the single market.”
Game explained that in his view, the seriousness of the prior relationship matters. If there was no marriage or children involved, he believes the situation changes.
Elsewhere in his Club Shay Shay appearance, The Game issued an apology to Kim Kardashian for his past comments about her — most notably, sexually explicit lyrics in an unreleased 2019 track.
“Sometimes, man, you wake up and choose a little violence,” The Game began. “If I tried to make up an excuse for my behavior, there just is no excuse. It’s the wrong thing to do on the right day.”
The Game continued, claiming that Ye called him personally to ask him if he'd stop speaking on Kardashian in public.
“He was like, ‘I love you, but can we not ever talk about my wife again?’" The Game recalled. "And I said, ‘You know what? Even though I’m bigger and stronger, you got that right.’ I told him I wasn’t going to do that no more.”
After Sharpe asked him if he'd ever apologized to Kardashian, the Game brushed it off, suggesting that she wasn't owed an apology because the rumors about her were already out in public. Moments later, however, he changed his tone.
“I got a lot of love for Chris, Khloé, Kim, Kourtney,” he said. “We were always chilling. But yeah, I’ll apologize to Kim today.”
“Kim, I’m apologetic for the way that I displayed or discussed our interrelations with the public," The Game said to the camera.
