The Game was outraged after the Recording Academy allegedly removed Kanye West from performing at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards over his “disturbing online behavior.” The Compton native is expressing similar sentiments in the wake of the Will Smith Oscars debacle.
The former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star smacked comedian Chris Rock across the face on live television just as Rock was about to introduce the winner in the Best Documentary category. Although Smith was allowed to collect his win for Best Actor in a Leading Role, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have opened an investigation into the incident.
On Wednesday (March 30), The Game shared this thoughts on that matter in an Instagram post that included the headline, “Will Smith Disciplinary Meeting: Academy Says He Was Asked To Leave Oscars, But Refused; He Now Faces Expulsion & Award Revoked.”
Game wrote, “They didn’t even want to give it to him in the first place… he acted off impulse & imposed a slap down out of frustration & embarrassment on behalf of his wife. Most people with opinions on the situation don’t have a committed relationship let alone a marriage of over 20 years to weigh against his feelings in the matter. He’s human & comedy is not always an excuse to publicly humiliate people especially while sitting front & center.
“Although violence anywhere is & should always be depicted in a negative light, this was a lul ass slap in defense of a woman battling a very delicate health issue. I’ll close by saying, they don’t want us to be equal, never have & never will.”
The Game also attempted to draw parallels to the Alec Baldwin controversy. The veteran actor was shooting the film Rust in New Mexico last October when he fired a prop gun that was mysteriously loaded with a live round. The bullet struck Ukrainian cinematographer and journalist Halyna Hutchins, killing her.
Baldwin hasn’t been charged in her death, although Hutchins’ family has filed a wrongful death suit against Baldwin and the Rust staff. The 42-year-old rapper then brought up Kyle Rittenhouse, who killed multiple people in Kenosha, Wisconsin two years ago.
“This fool Alec Baldwin took a woman’s life on set & got sympathy from the same Hollywood that is trying to condemn one of our greatest actors in history,” Game continued. “It just so happens that he’s black !!!!
“Harvey Weinstein didn’t have to forfeit any accolades or awards & Roman Polanski was guilty of having sex with a minor & then vanished, became a fugitive & was still given an award. un-related to Hollywood but still an example of white privilege, Kyle whatever tf his name is killed people purposely & didn’t get a single day in prison… but y’all investigating a pimp slap… foh fr fr.”
Will Smith has apologized to Rock, the Academy and his fellow Oscar nominees, but it appears the damage has been done. Rock has refused to address the incident directly and hasn’t spoken to Smith since the confrontation. Still, Game doesn’t seem to think the assault warrants any kind of disciplinary action, even though Smith violated the Academy’s strict code of conduct.
“We ain’t gone ever wake up,” he concluded. “And really, behind closed doors they’re all laughing at our black ass, cause low & behold they probably wrote the joke in Chris’s prompt and set them both up….. oh’ & 100 years after Emmett Till’s gruesome hanging… the now president signs an anti lynching law… so what that mean for the other 100,000 + lynchings done before then and along the way ??? They weren’t illegal?

“Mannnn…. Stop expecting them to ever view us as humans too…. We wayyyyyy too nice. Nuts how we got billionaire black folk & cant just come together & create other BIGGER platforms in addition to what we already have that really gives us the true glory we deserve. Maybe next life time.”
Game, always about race and how the white mans holding you back. Why not concentrate on how Wills wife cucked him for years, slept with multiple men and then mugged him off. We know you got an album coming out and I’ve literally had all your albums but I’m gonna not stream or purchase this one as you’re nothing but a bandwagon attention seeking dickhead
It’s still legally defined as assault. All these celebrities are trying to use this situation as a statement for race issues, sexism, etc. Plus, how tone deaf can you be referring to it as a “pimp slap”? Yeah let’s associate this action with pimps hitting women to keep them in line…fucking ignorant idiot.
Will Smith feature on Donda 3…these fuckin idiots man.
Yet again… believe it or not… blk millionaire rapper blames race holding them back when this situation has literally nothing to do with race. Same as when he spoke on Kanye’s situation. I’m pretty sure most people at this point don’t truly believe in blk people talking about the “racism” they encounter. Looks like a cop out and a reason to do stupid things that aren’t acceptable. Sorry… blame it on the dumb rappers. BLM movement looks like a joke and nobody is taking it seriously other than companies that are scared they will be called out on not having enough blk people in a movie or commercial lol
Do you literally have nothing better to do than to spam the same type of stupid comments to generalize black people every chance you get with the BLM crap being mentioned out of nowhere?
1ST OJ DROPS AN OPINION ABOUT KEEPING A COMPOSURE AND NOW THE GAME WANTS TO CHIME IN? CERTAIN PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT TOPICS THEIR OPINIONS AREN’T CREDIBLE IN. YOU 42 AND YOU STILL RAPPING? UGH!
Can’t wait for him to drop his little album already and finally stops yapping his mouth for promo.
Game done turn into a straight up bitch ass crybaby lately. That’s all he’s been doing. Why don’t you focus on you and your own troubles (Like Paying The Woman You Owe) and get back to acting spitting bars and maybe you wouldn’t be looked at as one of the other Kardashian sisters. WTF happened to this gangsta rapper to cause him to lose his rabbit ass mind?
actually
I don’t agree with all game’s points but most of them I agree with with him.
This debate aint got shit to do with race. Game needs to STFU with that race bait shit. If they let will smith get away with what he did then what happens next year ? They dont want to set a precedent that you can do wtf you want and still take home an award. I bet will smith wouldnt have slapped dave chappele. He would have hit him back.
guys like this be getting their boys all fvcked up with that big ass mouth LoL. He clearly stuck up in that misery machine lately. Get well soon The Game!
The fact that everybody is personally offended and scared of a well deserved slap and calling it assault is crazy, the man stands up for his family as he should and a bunch of no life having nobodies want to chime in lol don’t you miss the days when you didn’t live for social media and other peoples lives and lived your own?
People are calling it assault is because what he did was assault by a legal standard. Even if he spit on him or faked a punch, it would still be LEGALLY defined as assault. You only get a pass if it’s self defense and someone is assaulting you. When you establish character and are invited to a high class event, you can’t just go around hitting people because they offended you or your family. Real men use words to resolve conflict. Boys lose their cool and act out of violence. Sounds like you’re a little boy. Grow up.
Look at this fucking clown making rules and shit. You sound like a spoiled child. I don’t know what privileged little bubble you live in, but in the real world, shit gets messy. Words have consequences. You don’t get a pass for shit. “Real men use words”, what a fucking twat. I want to beat your ass for saying that stupid shit alone. Go out and run your mouth to some “real men” and see what happens, fuckboy.
Emotional ass up lmao. Chris didn’t run his mouth (threaten Will’s wife), he told a joke, that even Will thought was funny at first. Too many sensitive men in the world would’ve reacted like you. Don’t know how to control your emotions. So you end up fighting because you’re mentally weak lmao. You just showed everyone here that you’re a beta lmao.
That’s cool, little man. Btw, only incels use words like “beta”. All you soft children having a hissy fit over this, and I’m the “sensitive” one? Lmao.
Bruh you came on here all wacked out, being overly emotional lmao. Talking about beating someone you don’t know, because they made an opinion on someone you don’t know lmao. Stop acting like you were the reasonable one. Just take the L and work on ya attitude.
Bro you dont live in the real world you in your moms basement using lotion every night you bum. I’d sock you in your mouth for your stupidity but you too scared to come outside.
Lol, you ain’t socking shit. Love how tough you little kids think you are, but you’re having a bitch fit over a slap. Btw, I hope your mom gets cancer and fucking dies. Don’t get mad, it’s just a joke lolololololol!
You sound like a punk who loves to run your mouth, instigating issues and hide or play victim when someone wants to stomp you out.. don’t wanna be slapped? Make sure you keep your business out of others.
“hE WAs prOtEcTINg FAmiLY!!!” after he laughed about it at first, and then later cried and tried to apologize? Why does everyone that defend his actions ignore these obvious details? None of this made any sense and neither does your dumb, completely hypocritical comment (I laughed at the “don’t you miss those days” trash, like you’re acting any better right now). Will Smith is an emotional mess, and the violence was unwarranted, as Will Smith even said so himself. Point, blank, period.
Rock told a softball joke. Either take it in stride and keep it moving, or make a clever comeback. Smith (or anyone else) doesn’t get to ASSAULT a comedian over a joke, no matter who takes offense to it. The joke only hurts if you let it.
Damn! Emotional Gayme wrote a whole essay on this! Good thing Lame is a nobody and his opinion doesn’t matter anywhere, sensitive ass
Shrug. I expect people like Game and Nicki to say ratchet ass shit like this. It’s their whole brand.
