L.A. rapper BH— a.k.a. Hoggy — is calling out The Game for the second time over what he considers a gross exploitation of the late Nipsey Hussle’s legacy.
BH has made it clear he doesn’t appreciate the Game’s weekly Instagram tributes for Nipsey or his frequent use of the word “prolific.” The word, which Nipsey had tattooed on the right side of his face, was one of the Nip’s most distinct facial features.
BH discussed his issues in a recent interview with the No Jumper Podcast. During the conversation, BH said despite Nipsey’s respect for the Game, he can’t offer the same sentiments.
“Nip respected Game for taking him on his first tour,” he said. “That’s cool and all Game, but all this clout. Like, you posting the homie everyday? Don’t you got dead homies? Go post them. You posting the homie? I don’t even want to see this.”
BH, who is signed to Nipsey Hussle’s independent label All Money In, also spoke to No Jumper about the Game using the word “prolific” for profit.
Since Nip’s unexpected passing in March, Game has been using the word quite often in his own branding. The Game’s album Born 2 Rap was released on his new independent label, which he named Prolific Records. BH claims Game is trying to capitalize off Nipsey’s reputation.
“Y’all know who got this shit cracking,” BH said “So prolific anything …. that’s like us trying to say ‘Documentary Records’ or some crazy, weird shit like that. No, we not gonna do that.”
The two L.A. rappers first butted heads over the issue in October, when the Game released a line of Prolific Records branded merch, which sold out in less than an hour. BH posted an angry screenshot of the site showing the sold-out clothing line, calling the Game a “clown.”
The Game has defended his use of the word on Instagram, saying in a now-deleted post he has the blessing of Nipsey’s older brother Blacc Sam. However, neither BH nor Hip Hop fans are buying his explanation.
i mean you said it yourself Game brought Nip on his first tour. Y can’t Game show his respect?? if any can it should be him he was fckin wit Nip from the jump.
Quit pretending it’s all about respect. It’s about money, and popularity. Game used his Nippsey verses to have album singles. Of course his death is the reason for this. He wouldn’t have done that otherwise. E eryone profits off of death. That’s what they STILL do with Tupac. Nippsey was worth more dead than alive, and this is proof. Besides, it’s ust corny at this point. Game never does posts for his dead homies he grew up with. Hit niposey? Alll day! That’s business I guess.
So you can’t see how a tribute when he passed, to referencing this man every damn week, every rhymes since his passing, buying a blue Lambo supposedly in his honor, talking about him like they were besties in interviews, etc. isn’t just a way to profit and gain recognition from his death?? Come on man, it’s kinda disgusting and has become disrespect to go on and on and on knowing it’s not just to “uplift” the man. Game’s whole career is based on this….mention Big, Pac, Dre, Kanye, 50 over and over and over to live off of their names. Now he just added Nipsey to that “clout” list.
Don’t forget Eazy E
Game has posted more Nipsey tributes than tributes to his own murdered brother. Its a bit much.
Nipsey overrated though I’m riding with Wack on this one, all his fake ass artists are too…what have they ever done for Nip except complain about people paying tribute to him
Overrated?? Nah u on dust sherm sticks
You don’t have to like his music, but there was nothing overrated about the knowledge he was dropping in his music. There was nothing overrated about the work he was doing in the black community and what he would’ve done had he not been assassinated. You must not be from LA lol .
Assassinated????. MLK was assassinated! That ni$$a got shot!!!! I F with Nip and all but nah can’t go there
Yes assassinated… he started doing political works within the community. The definition of an assassination is “ the surprise attack of an important or political figure. Wasn’t Nipsey both of those wasn’t it a surprise attack on him? You clearly didn’t follow his works either! You don’t have to be MLK for your murder to be an assassination. They considered Gianni Versace murder an assassination and all he did was design clothes… why can’t Nip have the same respect when he actually did works within his community for his ppl. Met with the police Chief because he was coming up with a plan to stop gang violence… the list goes on and on

Man that was a Gang member who got shot by another Gang member. Please stop with the Megalomania. What he did for his community did not help all blacks so please stop. He wasn’t shot for political views. He was shot because he called another Gang member out on being a snitch. Please stop.
Crab in a bucket mentality…usually its game acting corny like this. Go figure.
Why don’t Hoggy get on Trae the Truth for weekly bringing up and posting stuff of Nip. Trae definitely doing it for the clot and not a single person has brought it up.
Keep that girl ass westcoast too”gangsta 4 my own good ass bulsh8t over there homie, keep my trae tha truth out you sensitive ass niggas convo …h town
Hey mane keep da souf out ur mouf…wat yall got goin on is some real childish bullshit…how can he profit off dude by using the word prolific…..yall need to find some real shit to get at the homie Game bout instead of bein on some wack petty shit…
I agree game has been going overboard. Before Nipsey died game literally Never mentioned him. Now it’s daily, weekly posts etc. I don’t care if game and wack “allege” that “without them Nipsey wouldn’t have been successfull”. Because they would only help a rapper who had talent and potential eg. If they take on tour, fans enjoy and is profitable. If they “allegedly” hadn’t “helped” Nipsey then plenty others who wanted a profitable rapper fans would enjoy to tour with them; plenty others would have “helped”. But to me Nipsey was so independent that I actually completely disagree when wack and game, bitter and salty over a dead man’s popularity (smh at them ) “allege” that “without them Nipsey wouldn’t be nothing”. They are so embarrassing, even very young female groupies don’t Stan and post like this grown man. It’s no obvious, corny, embarrassing and disrespectful. Even nipseys wife and fam don’t post like game. It’s pure exploitation, whereas when they guy was alive game literally posted and “helped” Nipsey Zero.
You saying Game never mentioned Nipsey before he died is reaching. Relax.
Literally didn’t mention him? That’ not true. When I don’t like what I read from people, I stop reading. The posts were slightly over the top, yet harmless and helped Nip’s profile after death, ultimately of which will feed Nip’s family. This Hog guy talking about clout though; the irony is this is the first time most of us have heard of him.
Hog was Nip bestfriend. Do your research.
r.i.p..
I’m sorry….I know he gone and R.I.P. Nip……but honestly…..how can game benefit from someone who was only popular in LA??…..I mean its messed up the way he died and all…..but when the last time anyone said put that new Nip on and let’s bump that??…..game can benefit off his own name just fine……seems to me like MFs is mad eithee because they didnt do all this first or mad that Game is still doing his thang!!…the word prolific ain’t copyrighted by nip so why would he need anyone’s blessing to pay tribute to the man??….dam….let the legacy live on
When people die, they see record popularity. Nip saw that too. That is what game is riding on. Game didn’t talk about Nip like this when he was alive, and in death, he is constantly bringing him up, on singles especially. Game shout outs an RIP to Nippsey more than HE EVER HA LS HIS OWN BROTHER!
You must live in a hole bro. Only famous in LA? That’s laughable. Nip was plying go everywhere. Just because you were late doesn’t mean the rest of the world was.
Wow so Prolific which it tatted on the face of Coldest Rapper in the game needs to be copywrited for u u to respect it. Why didnt u do it while he was here…we know why and u know why. And if he can make money off his own name then just do that.. “Do it first” its not about first some cats gpt RESPECT FOR GREATNESS unlike others. What u gonna do next create a “DEDICATION” line. The Great HUSSLE create this shit & niggaz try to ride it…..Goddam … U cant fade the nigga lyrically so u ride…. Create ur own shit if u can?
Games using a dead guy to promote his career. Desperate times, desperate measures I guess.
Did y’all hear nip on his album? It sounded like they were in some cases close. The big issue is Game is speaking about this man and Lauren London finds it disrespectful. That’s when your suppose to stop.
I want hear abt news the world hip-hop wat happen ..
I’m from the Bronx, NY, so I might not be qualified to say much. But it kinda reminds me of how Jay Z was quoting a lot of Biggie when he passed, and Nas called him on it on the Ether record. You can’t question the love & respect, but sometimes, people question the motives.
Why nobody KTSE wit YG? They was close as tf despite the difference between the gangs. The shit was deeper than that. But that’s yo homie. Why U ain’t make prolific records or the clothing brand yourself? Or put it on and represent it in the same way as if he was still here. R.I.P. Nip Hussle the great.
This is ridiculous. You mean to tell me The Game can’t show Nip live. If Blacc Sam gave his blessing, then let’s stop tripping.
They only love this man cause he died nipsey just like every other nigga with some money like dude in the comment section said he was only Important in LA most ppl knew him for fucking Lauren London more then his music I never heard shit about him until he died
nip was a ledgend in not only where he’s from but everywhere he went. you cant disrespect a ledgend period. what he rapped was real life shit? and if you from the streets you can relate?? alot of people dont who alot mainstream rappers are, it doesn’t mean you not that dude. RESPECT A REAL LIVING
Lol it’s so sad how you really don’t know what you’re talking about. Lauren London is beautiful but she ain’t nobody but New-New from ATL. Most ppl don’t know him from fucking with her she’s not that big of a factor if anything most ppl knew him as another ganster rapper from LA rather they liked his music or not. Nipsey evolves on so many ways and did so much for the community and dropped so much knowledge in his music. That’s what he’s known for.
Lol and no he wasn’t only important in LA I guess you don’t know he had a relationship with Jay-Z, P diddy, and Dave East. Those can arsenal are all from NY and you know once a few big names from NY get behind you the whole city follows. Ny actually has a nation Nipsey Hussle day before La did all with the help of Dave East.
National Nip day after he died. This man was not known like that. Nobody tryna be disrespectful but everybody knows who Snoop is. Everybody knows who Ice cube is. Everybody knows who Tupac is. These are examples of what its meant when said somebody is known. People did not know Nip like these people. And i mean people outside of Cali. So please stop.
I agree with dude in the comment section nobody was bumping his shit ppl want say he was all this he was only building up the streets he gang banged in he gets no respect for that he was important to LA not everybody else more ppl know him for fucking Lauren London then his music so stop the bullshit
Mann nip was the shit! What the fucc y’all talking about. Nobody listen to his shit till he died? Then why the fucc do some people die and nobody know they name. He was already know. And if y’all know anything the glory is always in the death. That’s gona be everyone story one day. What type of person you were and so on. And when people speak at your funeral and tell things people never knew about you. Will make others appreciate who you were also. That’s it. Mann, y’all just dick riding this media shit.
Let her know homie. These weird ass ppl don’t know wtf they talking about. Lol and it’s so funny because they talking like they really know and they don’t got a clue.
If you from Cali you would think that everybody was fuckin wit Nip because everybody from cali was. But from the outside in these other states we didnt fuck wit him that heavy. Not cuz he was trash or anything but we just didnt. We knew him as yhe dude dating Lauren London. Sorry to say. Now everybody on his dick.
I live in San Diego and i frequently was in LA attending all sorts of shows and concerts , some in which nipsey performed at, and i gotta say outside of those shows, I didnt know too many people that bumped his music on their own. I dont know why, its not like he wasnt dope cuz he was, but after he passed , now all I hear about is these”life long supposed nipsey fans”. Kinda reminds me of xxxtentacion , i never knew anyone to ever even talk about him untill he passed..shits wild
Niggas didn’t say shit when he was alive!!!!!! And y’all agreeing with shit like that. Why didn’t people say all this shit when he was here. When he was nominated for a Grammy. Y’all a joke. Just Wana have a opinion on shit y’all don’t understand. Straight square’s!
Sip nip!
Who’s that dude nip?
Why don’t y’all take some English classes instead of talking about this dude! Your grammar, spelling have gone to shit.
As your name is smoov goof troop leading ass
First and foremost Nip received recognition not only in L.A., I don’t know anyone in CALIfornia that listens to rap who doesn’t know Mr. Hussle.
It isn’t about the showing of the love; it’s about the capitalization, thus the exploitation. BH is basically saying it isn’t about showing Nip love its about him only doing it to get paid, that’s its not sincerity!
But there no way to prove that,its his opinion not a fact so it just looks like another black man trying to fight another black man
There could be a mis understanding with the Game.. If his heart us good. . inlt time will tell. . u think… Maybe this might be his way to Greave Nip…Mr. Hustle.. Let us pray????✌ Peace
Yes I so agree he’s in pain I don’t really think it’s about money that’s something he already has.
The game has been tryna make things happen for nips camp, he got featured on j-stones album and then went ahead to feature him on his album. The dude has always been opened arms when it comes to his Cali niggaz
BH mad cause he should be doing what Game is doing. I believe Nip would want that…let’s stay relevant and keep the hustle going.
Why he still got da tag on da suit ???
BH NEED TO STOP BEING A FUCKIN HATER AND WORRIE BOUT HIS OWN SHIT! BH FROM THE BAY FUCK YOU!
Man who cares if he’s showing love all day everyday, ain’t that better then showing him hate or throwing shade ,smh that’s what wrong with the black community, mad at another nigga for showing to much love,straight idiotic, nigga need to connect with the game instead of trying to smud him up
Fuck it, niggas die all the time. There’s a lot better people in the world doing a lot better things for people worldwide, not just in california. I’m sure nips was a good guy but can we just let the man rest in peace.
All of y’all are sum pussies and clowns just like the game. And if ur not black, stop saying Nigga. Game sounds like a fucking clown, and u cowards supporting him.and talking shit about BH are sucking the Clowns dick. Y’all are simple and that’s y u don’t understand how stupid the clown, and urselves, sound.
Fuck you and yo couch nigga
You homo,talking about sucking dick,keep that shit to yourself, you the problem with the world rite now,straight crabs in a bucket, mad cause you think a nigga love ain’t genuine, you stupid in the head ,or just need to grow up you sucka
You have a smart phone, you calling people stupid and clowns…buuuuuuuuuuttttt you can’t take the time to spell correctly???? “U, sum, urselves…” Who is the real clown ?

See that’s what’s wrong with our people today always hating on the next brother or sister. Game keep doing your tributes to our falling brother nip. I love and read them every week. I tribute my mom and dad and my two sisters all the time it keeps them alive. Stop this hating on our people. We deserve to be treated like Kings and Queens. Love you game. ?
These guys are unsophisticated as fuck so ignorant someone give him an English class. No character lame drugged out wanna be rapper lol
Really??? Would this have been an issue with Nip?? Let whoever celebrate the great, in there own way. Outta here with your money-greed ways of thinking. A life was taken, no amount of money-greed can bring that back. Go about your way & be humble. Give thanks you woke up this morning!
1. R.i.p to Nipsey.
2. All you people need to shut the f*ck up. Wasting your time arguing over something as stupid as this. When are you going to wake up and see how many black women are missing in this country? How many laws being passed to surpress, every color…not just black people. When are you going to wake up and see that people purposely blow sh*t out of purportion, to divide us. United we stand, divided we fall.
3. If Game really is doing that then so be it. Who gives a fuck. Worry about making your own moves. Go take care of your damn kids, and maybe they won’t grow up to be gangsters and actually be prolific and not saturated by y’all normies.
Everybody is gangsta on the internet. Yall really tough behind them keyboards.. so much ignorance in this comment section.
Alot of people agree with Nip but they re afraid to speak up. The Game shouldn’t trynna play cool after trynna get a profit off prolific
This dude calling out game for using a word “Prolific” that Nipsey doesn’t own for 1… 2. He calling out Game saying he clout chasing saying he using Nip name, but when ole boy asked him to tell his background and where he from, he couldn’t even state where he from without using Nip name. 3. He got the internet trying to be mad at Game for what? Keeping Nip name alive? Prolific Records is Game label. All Money In is Nips, Prolific Music Group is Faith Evans(No affiliation to Prolific Records). Game didn’t have Nip face or name anywhere on his merch so I don’t see a problem or where he clout chasing.
Point is game never used prolific when Nip was alive. Now that Nip dead he wanna use it. Yea Nip dont own it but damn all of a sudden game wanna make a label using the word prolific? Tell me that aint for clout. Now the nigga hoggie is Nip real homie they always was together. So if anyone should profit from Nip’s death or legacy its him and his family.
The way Game is choosin to keep Nip alive and on top, I feel is also slowly gonna take some food outta Nip’s family’s mouth in the long run. We all know Game wasn’t on the use of the word prolific like this b4 Nip passed. In time ppl will remember “prolific” correlated to Games label (assumin it don’t flop) and that’s fucked up. I wish he showed love to Nip like other artists did.
Shit Google me, Zeal Truce. I dropped a song this September called “U Can’t stop the hussle” it don’t sound like a Nipsey wanna b track, nigga I’m me. I just used his name in the hook because of what he stood for and what he taught so many independent artists in his music… This is me using what I’ve learned and showing respect and appreciation.
I can’t say the same about Games choice in naming his label or all his posts.
And what exactly did you just do. plugged your own music with the song title having Hussle in it onto a post about Nip to get clout for yourself. And you on here trying to defame the Game about using Nip as profit for himself. Wake up hypocrite.
People should have caught on to Game’s fuckery right away, but instead of using logic people want to act like dumbasses and just say “Wow, what a great friend”. The Instagram “tribute” he posted on his son’s birthday was a fake corny story that turned into Game telling his followers to go follow his son. People should have seen through his bullshit at that second. Then he says he’s going to stop posting “tributes” because he didn’t know how it was effecting Lauren London. Which we all know is bullshit because he then created a record company after a word that was tattooed on Nipsey’s face. Then he films a music video with Anderson.Paak where he drives a lambo with Nipsey’s face on it while looking like Nipsey. Dude is a joke. I’m not even a fan of Nipsey but people doing shit like this are terrible.
Ripping off other people’s ideas is so common throughout the industry I know 4 a fact almost every influential emcee has been ghost written 4 these things happen. It’s not right but BTW I’m Christian when you look at the world 2day what is? The love of money is the root of all evil? What do you hear in 99% if not a 100% of music nowadays “I’m in luuv wit da money or da coco” or whatever there was a tattoo it made some t’s is Nipsey hussle in heaven cursing out game? Don’t think so… Hip hop capitalism America (I live in England) was built off swagger jacking he can always take Game to court if he really thinks this is unfair. In response to the comment of the person saying this shit is not worth speaking about its a hip hop blog site they gotta eat 2.
Shut the fuck up! How is the word ‘prolific’ an idea?
Really? GAME felt that homie that was winning is gone….. Would be the same if Kendric Died or Snoop. Mind your business. That’s Nipsey’s fam business. If they quiet drop the topic.
I just want to point game has always gave it up to his dead homies .. frog and 4bent aka billboard just to name a few .. but I been listening to game since the beginning so yeah .. that part
