The Game has been given a re-trial in the case where he was ordered to pay $7 million to a woman who alleged he sexually assaulted her.
According to Bossip, a judge ruled this week that the case can go to re-trial after initially ruling that The Game could not get a second chance.
The Compton rapper first filed the request for re-trial last month saying that the $7.13 million he owed to Priscilla Rainey was “monstrously excessive.” His lawyer also said that his client missed one of the hearings due to a toothache. Rainey, a contestant on his She Got Game reality show, filed the initial suit claiming that The Game forcibly grabbed her private parts during an after-hours date.
The first hearing in the re-trial is set for January 26.
The Game apparently had a court hearing today, although it is unknown what for in his case for punching an off-duty police officer during a basketball game in March 2015. TMZ reports that the case was postponed.
He was hopeful heading in, posting a video of himself listening to The Weeknd’s “Starboy.”
And it seemingly didn’t go so well. But he’s keeping his hopes high.

The Game will not receive a re-trial in his sexual assault case as he requested, according to TMZ.
A judge denied the Compton rapper’s request because Game did not file the paperwork properly. Game was asking for a new trial or at least a reduction in the $7.13 million he was ordered to pay to Priscilla Rainey, a contestant on his She’s Got Game reality show who claimed he sexually assaulted her. The two allegedly went on a date after taping for the show when she claims he forcibly groped her.
The Game can still refile the motion for the re-trial.
Rainey first took the rapper to court in August of 2015 seeking $10 million.

Last month, The Game was ordered by a jury to pay $7.13 million to Priscilla Rainey, who claimed he sexually assaulted her while she was a participant on his reality game show She’s Got Game and now he wants a re-trial, TMZ reports.
The Compton, California rapper, born Jayceon Taylor, filed a motion and is asking for a new trial with a new jury, or at the very least, the amount awarded to Rainey to be cut-down. He thinks $7 million is just too much pay out for allegedly grabbing a woman’s private parts.
He’s also contesting the evidence presented including a “prejudicial” video of him and the victim after the alleged assault. Now Game wants the opportunity to tell his side of story, an opportunity he originally missed because his lawyer said he had a tooth infection.
Back when Rainey was awarded default judgment in the case in February (she took him to court for $10 million initially), The Game in usual fashion took to Instagram to clarify the ruling.
“Let’s get one thing very CLEAR: that thirsty Gatorade mascot of a transvestite WILL NEVER see $10,000,000 or anything close 2 a penny of my money,” Game captioned under an IG post. “People think because they read a headline in BOLD PRINT it’s true. She won a judgment of 10 million $’s & that means that a judge because I’m overseas has given this chicken a chance 2 MAYBE be able to afford a lifetime supply of lace front hair glue if my lawyers don’t respond to this suit by the 26th of this month which they will do tomorrow am. Soon as I’m home, me & my lawyers will EAT THIS CASE like a box of Minion Twinkies on sale at Walmart !”
He also noted that she has a pending lawsuit against VH1 that he feels she will not win.
Rainey claimed that during a date after taping for the reality game show, the 37-year-old Blood Money boss groped her while he was drunk and high at dinner.
In the news for all the wrong reasons. Smh.
Dummy should’ve took yo ass to court the first time.
Them judges don’t be playing ,get it together Game.

Funny thing is that Game will continue to get himself involved in more shenanigans in the years to come. He never learns his lesson and only cares when it’s too late.
He gives out some songs every now and then, but irl… Well, he sucks.

That judge nigga fucked up. 7 mill for apparently touching an ass?? Wonder what’s in that ass. Game should maybe pay 200k or shit or do a month or so in. Not fucking 7 mill. But then again who am I to judge. This just my opinion.
This nigga should learn how to respect women.
Maybe now that it’s a done deal he can stop with the pretend social activism bullshit, this dumb nigga needs to learn you can’t assault women, end of story.
fuck that fuck those fuckin pussy-minded judges.$7mil 4 touchin a bitch’s garbage? funny.
typical idiot, learn how to treat a lady you schmuck.

Game gon lose again. The judge gon say “who misses a court citation because of tooth ache” lol that’s like telling your teacher the dog eat your homework.
The game gets what he deserves. You aint to famous to get your ass handed to you
When that orange dude did the same thing he became President.
That was obviously bs though. Funny how nobody was saying anything until trump had a chance of winning the election, now notice how they are not even talking about it anymore because he won. They made up a bunch of false claims and accusation to prevent trump from becoming president but failed. It was an obvious attempt by Hillary campaign to impact the election outcome. Just like the bs Russian hacking allegations.
“grab em by the pussy” -the president
