The Game has come up empty-handed in his $20 million lawsuit against Viacom, according to The Blast. The publication reports a judge has denied the Compton rapper’s attempt to hold the media company liable for a multimillion-dollar payment he was ordered to pay in 2016.
The Game hit Viacom with a lawsuit in May 2017, suggesting the company should fork over the $7.1 million a judge ordered him to pay stemming from a separate lawsuit filed against him by a contestant on his 2015 VH1 dating show She’s Got Game.
Priscilla Rainey accused The Game of sexual assault during an after-hours date and subsequently won the case against him in 2016.
The Game argued Viacom should cover the bill as the company were responsible for casting Rainey despite knowing about her criminal history, which allegedly included multiple felony arrests for battery. He also claimed the media company knew of Rainey’s history with mental illness.
A judge reportedly sided with Viacom in a hearing on Tuesday (June 5). The court stated Viacom’s casting of Rainey was merely an exercise of its free speech rights.
“Viacom is correct,” the ruling reads, according to The Wrap. “Courts have held that the ‘creation of a television show,’ including the ‘writing, casting, and broadcasting’ of a television show, is an exercise of free speech.”
The Game previously stated that Rainey “will never see $10,000,000 or anything close [to] a penny of my money.”

Damnnnnn need to get fif on the phone and learn his bankruptcy strategy lol
Get the Strap!
Game is worth 22Mill. This is gotta hurt.
How you figure he worth 22 mill??? Don’t believe in that fake net worth stuff, I seriously doubt game anywhere close to 22 mill hasn’t done enough to get to 22 mill let alone be worth 22 mill. We just found out Nas is worth 8 mill you would of thought he had more until you start thinking with logic. He hasn’t been selling any records in the last like 8-9 years neither has anybody unless you are a top top artist, he hasn’t done any movies, he doesn’t have any side business, only shows and reality tv, which he can kiss that reality tv shit goodbye for life after suing viacom. Game has been one of the best rappers in the last 15 years but he does and says some of the dumbest shit and associate himself with idiots like wacky 100 was the complete beginning of his sharp downfall. He could have had a decent acting career but no he goes and tatoos his faces and so insecure he wants everbody to see him as a real life tough guy so he goes around doing dumb stuff getting sued for millions instead of getting on the screen and make millions for being a tough guy.
Nas had 8 million in his account, doesn’t mean he is worth 8 million!
Are you slow? Your worth isn’t just based on what’s in your bank account…You could have 10 dollars in your account and be worth 1 Million or have 1 Million in your account and have a negative net worth. lol That 8 Million Nas has is just liquid he has allocated himself for the year. (Bills, child support, food, whatever) that’s not his overall worth.
He showed on his show on VH1 he invested in Wingstop. So he does have side business somewhere, but he’s not smart when it comes to business. Everything can’t be based around gangbanging. His ego got him in trouble . Game Over
celebritynetworth is fake news all they do is make assumptions with no proof
First I ever heard he sexually assaulted someone. God damn shameful.
New album/Beef comin soon
First time I ever herd he sexually assulated someone. These women knew what they were getting into when they got on his show sounds like extortion on the females part game has money , if I was him I file bankruptcy on some broke groupie as skiser hoe trying to cash in on my success. Bitch get a job!!!!;
He’s on a losing streak, and he should have stopped after documentary 2.5 because that 1992 album sucked.
So he attacked a chick, then blamed Viacom for casting her? That’s like stealing from the bank and blaming the government for printing money. Dummy.
for the slow ones in the back he has like 4 houses, 10 cars, idk how many bikes and he posted a pic of 13mil in his back account (even tho it was the one for his donations i still believe it might be his overall money in the bank)… hes worth more than 22 mil no doubt
