Months after Los Angeles, California rapper Game punched an off-duty police officer during a Pro-Am basketball game, the musician is now being struck with a lawsuit due to the encounter.
News of the lawsuit comes days after Game was booked and later released after a warrant was issued last week due to him threatening the off-duty cop during the basketball game. In addition to throwing the punch, the rapper also reportedly threatened to kill the man.
HotNewHipHop.com reports that the police officer, Onyebuchi Awaji, is now suing for $12 million. Awaji is suing over physical, emotional, and financial damage.
A detailed breakdown of the $12 million he’s demanding can be found below:
Pain and suffering: $1,000,000
Emotional distress: $1,000,000
Medical expenses (to date): $50,000
Medical expenses (future): $100,000
Punitive damages: $10 million
The incident between Game and the off-duty police officer took place in March of this year. TMZ reported that the rapper got into an argument with the man, punched him, and then fled the scene.
Video of the incident, which can be found below, was obtained by TMZ shortly after.

Pain and suffering: $1,000,000
Apparently Game’s fist is made out of stone, this cop is a fucking pussy
The police man is an igbo man! hahaha…can see why lol
lols… original Igbo man
What fuckin bullshit
First off this Cop is making all Law Enforcement look like bitch ass pussies without a badge and a gun and im a former Cop.
Second off there is nothing resulting from a quick punch like that that causes $50K in medical damage.
That cop could get breast implants and and stil have mad money to spare.
Three this shit is done in the NBA and the NFL and people dont get hit with no 12 million dollar fine!!!
Finally this niggas puttin too much in this pussy ass bullshit. He already hit with the Pain and Suffering. Then comes with the mental Anguish for a million a peice on both!!! But then asks for 10 mill in punitive damages.
Pussy ass nigga cop!!! You gonna sue Mikey who kicked you pussy ass in the third grade for all that shit!?!??! It was one fucking punch.
You gonna sue you daddy for whopping yo ass worse than that when you was 12????
this is what is wrong with america…
I don’t know about the U.S but in Australian law those sort of damages for battery are ridiculous. The idiot will be lucky to get 50k
Weak ass punch.
12 million for being Punched that didn’t knock him out or give him damage? The States is a joke if he wins 12million that’s a joke.
$1,000,000 for pain and suffering. Another million for emotional distress! I mean come on. In any other country that kinda claim would be laughed at and then thrown out of the court. I’m sure he won’t win, but what a waste of resources.
Gotta say though, Game’s an idiot for sucker punching someone like that over a friendly basketball match.
Yeeeah right Game really gave him a Hangover Tyson punch I see, he slid across the court on his back into seats where the aliens from Space Jam was viewing there next sports star to steal powers, probably gonna take those Iron Mike fists from Game!
Just goes to show without that badge and gun, police are nothing but little bitches.
