Shortly after this month’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, The Game hinted that he was a bit upset that he was left out of the lineup for the performance. The rapper, just like Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, and Anderson .Paak who all performed at the show, is a prodigy of Dr. Dre’s, which may have been why he hoped he’d be invited to perform. Days later, The Game’s longtime manager Wack 100 said that his client wasn’t invited to the halftime show because he “told that n**** [JAY-Z] to suck his d*ck like 18 albums ago.” This caused The Game to step forward and set everything straight.

“Don’t nobody speak for ‘The Game’ except ‘THE GAME,” he wrote in an image he posted on Instagram. “I ain’t had no conversation with nobody regarding Jay-Z and the Super Bowl he put together. I don’t feel no way about no being included. It was a GREAT SHOW featuring iconic artists. It was a WIN for the culture.” He continued:

“I control my own narrative. Do not be fooled by the internet, blogs, podcasts or anyone speaking on my name that is not me. My life & new album are both amazing & I’m in a great space creatively & artistically. I’m in Miami to help Ye’ finish Donda 2 & support my friend in one of the most pivotal times of his life/career. Leave me & my name out of any NEGATIVE conversations unless I have given you a REAL reason to include me !!! Hov’ continues to break down doors for the culture & I am in full support of anything & anyone who is on the help side of urban greatness.”

The Game Denies Dissing JAY-Z for Excluding Him From Super Bowl Halftime Show

The Game has no beef with JAY-Z.

Following the historic Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show, which featured Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and 50 Cent, the “Eazy” rapper seemingly felt some type of way about not being included in the festivities, despite it being held in his hometown of L.A.

He expressed his resentment by reposting comments from others on Instagram, including one from King Trell, who wrote, “FYI: @losangelesconfidential Should’ve been on stage at the Super Bowl I’ll be first to say it.”

In a recent Clubhouse chat, Game’s former manager Wack 100 claimed that Game told JAY-Z to “suck his dick” ahead of the halftime show and that’s why he wasn’t on the bill. JAY-Z and Roc Nation produced the halftime show.

“That’s why The Game wasn’t on the [halftime show],” said Wack, according to HotNewHipHop. “Because Game told that ni**a [JAY-Z] to suck his dick like 18 hours ago.”

Now The Game is clearing his name. Taking to Instagram on Sunday morning, he shut down Wack’s claim that he dissed Hov and denied that he felt slighted for not being included.

“I ain’t had no conversation with nobody regarding Jay-Z & the Super Bowl he put together,” he wrote. “I don’t feel no way about not being included. It was a GREAT SHOW featuring iconic artists. It was a WIN for the culture.”

“I control my own narrative. Do not be fooled by the internet, blogs, podcasts or anyone speaking on my name that is not me,” added Game, who is readying his new album Drillmatic. “My life & new album are both amazing & I’m in a great space creatively & artistically.”

Game is currently in Miami working on Kanye West’s DONDA 2. “I’m in Miami to help Ye’ finish Donda 2 & support my friend in one of the most pivotal times of his life/career,” he said. “Leave me & my name out of any NEGATIVE conversations unless I have given you a REAL reason to include me !!!”

He also showed love to JAY-Z by celebrating his contributions to the culture. “Hov’ continues to break down doors for the culture & I am in full support of anything & anyone who is on the help side of urban greatness,” he said.

ICYMI: Get a Closer Look at Eminem’s Jordan Retro 3 From the Super Bowl

Eminem has been the owner of iconic retro Jordan silhouettes before. The latest is his own Jordan Retro 3, which made its debut on the Super Bowl stage.

The sneaker is reminiscent of the Fire Red 3 but instead of Nike Air or the Jump Man logo on the back, there is a “Hi! My Name Is” nametag. The name etched on the tag is none other than Slim Shady, a call back to his classic single. On the front, Eminem’s “E” logo replaces Jordan’s Jumpman.

This sneaker is likely to be exclusive but if there is release info we will double back to let you know.
