Behind The Game’s Officer Impersonation Charge

 

The Village Voice has a pretty interesting piece on The Game, his alleged life story and the charge of officer impersonation that he beat last week. Writer Sean Gardiner breaks down what really happened on the night Jayceon was arrested by the hip-hop cops for supposedly telling a cab driver to run a series of red lights. 


If the police case was as cut-and-dried as their reports make it out to be, what happened next makes no sense: By all accounts, the cops let the driver get back in his livery and drive the Game, who never left the car, to his meeting with Jay-Z at the Westin. The Game tipped the driver $200, an amount the prosecutor would later intimate was shut-up money. But the Game—who Forbes estimated made $11 million in 2006— claims that’s just what he tips these days.

The rapper emerged from the meeting around 11:30 p.m. to find "about eight police cars there and a zillion cops," says Lichtman. "You’d think the guy just robbed a bank." The driver, who had left after dropping the Game off at the Westin, was there as well. He pointed out the Game, and the cops arrested him.

Gardiner also touches, albeit lightly, on the "official" back story of Game’s life growing up in Compton and running with the Bloods, his non-existent basketball scholarship to Washington State and the beef with his brother Big Fa$e.

    So i’m over at SOHH today just to see if that had any updates on the Jay/LL alleged beef. I think the thread was the “ya hear this” one or what ever. I got pissed off because of what I read, even tried to drop a comment like “you need to go over to nah right so you can see how some real bloggers do it” but couldn’t even leave a comment because the shit was broke.

    That’s why I fucks with nah right
