The Game acquitted of impersonation charges
After a long absentia in the media, The Game shot to limelight today after a New York judge dismissed police impersonation charges against him on the grounds that the Los Angeles bred rapper stays out of trouble for the next six months.
It will be recalled that last year November, in the heat of preparing for his Doctor’s Advocate Album release, The Game was arrested for allegedly impersonating an undercover police officer in New York.
Prosecutors claim the rapper told the driver he was an undercover officer and encouraged him to run several red stoplights on Lexington Avenue before being pulled over.
The Game rejected offers of a plea deal that would have kept him out of jail in exchange for a guilty plea. He said he was innocent of any crime.
Game reportedly left the courthouse smiling saying: “I love New York, but I hate the system. I hate every system.”
He still faces three felony charges in California for a February incident in which he is accused of pulling a gun during a basketball game in Los Angeles. If convicted of those charges, he faces up to five years in jail.
Hip Hop fans are still waiting a word from The Game regarding Kanye beating 50 Cent on the 9/11 Sales.
The Game, once a protege of rapper 50 Cent, shot to stardom with his Grammy-nominated debut album The Documentary in 2005.
