The Game has spoken out about missing Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” event in Los Angeles, which was attended by a number of well-known West Coast hip-hop artists.
In an extended Instagram Live session on Thursday, June 20, the rapper from Compton, who has publicly expressed his support for Drake, gave high marks to the occasion.
“Now, that’s just Kendrick and Drake shit, n-gga, as far as that’s concerned,” he uttered.
“Kendrick is a badass, and his performance last night was fantastic for the West Coast. I watched it while relaxing. I am not need to be present, do you understand what I mean? For the coast, I believe it’s a W.
“I think K.Dot gave a lot of West Coast n-ggas something hard as fuck last night. I think that doing that for n-ggas was really kind and dope of him.
“I thought that shit was amazing when I saw what Dot did for the city yesterday,” he continued. That wasn’t necessary for him to do, but he did. Regarding my partnership with Drake? My brother is Drake. I have sex with Drake.
Many fans brought out the fact that The Game, who has previously worked with Kendrick Lamar, was missing from the historic performance after a number of prominent names in West Coast Hip Hop, including Dr. Dre, Tyler, The Creator, YG, Roddy Ricch, and the TDE roster, made appearances.
The Game, who has drawn a lot of criticism online for siding with Drake and disparaging Rick Ross, avoided answering the question about why he wasn’t at the show in the video.
Kendrick demonstrated that his feud with Drake was still going strong at the “Pop Out” performance by performing diss hits like “Like That,” “Euphoria,” and “Not Like Us.”
In addition, Kendrick Lamar altered the lyrics of “Euphoria” to call on Drake to give back the 2Pac ring he bid more than $1 million for at auction.
Rapping, he flipped the song’s original words and said, “Give me 2Pac’s ring back and I might give you a little respect.”
He sang, “Someone had told me that you got a ring, on God, I’m ready to double the wage/ I’d rather do that than let a Canadian n-gga make ‘Pac turn in his grave,” on the song’s original version.
