The Game hopped into Martin’s comment section to jab him about cutting his album in half to keep it concise.
“Now look at this n-gga here.. ‘Mr. Cut your album down to 10-12 songs Chuck’ Run my fade Jason,” Game replied in disgust as a supporter of longer album lengths — his 2022 album DRILLMATIC Heart Vs Mind boasted a robust 30 tracks and clocked in at nearly two hours of run time.
2023 was a busy year for Martin who appeared in the White Men Can’t Jump reboot with Jack Harlow, Vince Staples, Teyana Taylor and more.
On the music side, he returned to deliver his 10-track I Owe Myself album with The Melodiks in May.

Around that same time, the 38-year-old stopped by Power 106 to promote the project where he explained why he changed his name from Problem.
“Just extending my family’s name,” he said. “Making sure that the Martin name stays relevant. Honestly, at this stage of my career where I’m at, the things I’ve been through, and just with everything I just think it’s really irresponsible to call myself Problem.”
