The Game Says He Expected 50 Cent Feud to End in Death

In a new VIBE interview, the Compton rapper reflects on a rivalry that escalated from industry friction into real violence.

Overview

  • In the interview with Datwon Thomas, The Game says he was almost certain he and 50 Cent would die at the height of their mid-2000s conflict.
  • He recalls the feud intensifying in 2005 around his debut The Documentary after tensions with G-Unit and his ouster for not fully backing 50 Cent's other disputes.
  • He cites multiple violent episodes, including a shooting at Hot 97 in New York that left a member of his camp wounded.
  • He also describes provocative actions he took at the time, including damaging property and hanging a 'G-Unot' banner in Queens.
  • Although the two later held a de-escalation press conference, the feud lingered until they reconciled in 2016, and his comments now are retrospective rather than signaling renewed hostilities.
