A judge has reportedly ordered The Game to cough up the roughly $7 million he owes sexual assault accuser Priscilla Rainey. According to TMZ, the Los Angeles rap vet attempted to appeal the judgement but was unsuccessful.
Rainey, a former contestant on his VH1 reality show “She Got Game,” sued the 39-year-old for sexual assault and an Illinois court ordered him to pay $7.13 in damages three years ago.
At the time, Rainey said he was high on drugs and assaulted her, “forcefully reaching his hand inside her dress to rub her bare vagina and buttocks.” In return, Game referred to her as “a thirsty Gatorade mascot of a transvestite.”

Although Game appealed the initial 2016 ruling, the appeals court affirmed the lower court’s ruling on Thursday (October 17), calling his conduct towards Rainey “deeply reprehensible.”

The Game is going to be out of roughly $7 million soon. According to The Blast, a Los Angeles judge granted a motion brought by Priscilla Rainey, allowing her to collect The Game’s music royalties until $7,130,100 million plus post-judgment interest is paid off.
Court documents read, “Any and all rights, title, and interest of Defendant from the following companies in the form of, among other things, commission, royalties, contract receivables, deferred compensation, income, wages, payroll, salary, and accounts receivable: Sound Exchange, Inc., 733 10th Street NW, 10th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20001; and Entertainment One U.S. LP, Attn: Michael Healy, 22 Harbor Park Drive, Port Washington, NY 11050.”

Rainey, who accused The Game of sexual assault, was granted the judgment in 2016.
While she was a contestant on the VH1 reality show She Got Game, Rainey said the veteran rapper sexually assaulted her during what she thought was a “required after hours date” while taping the show. She alleged The Game got intoxicated and forced “his hand inside her dress to rub her bare vagina and buttocks.”
A motion for a new trial was thrown out last September and Rainey then threatened to come after The Game’s royalties earlier this year.
The Game was adamant he’d never give Rainey a dime, but the judge evidently has other plans.
