The Game is being mercilessly trolled online after sharing a story about reconsidering gender roles, though he has since claimed that it was meant as a joke.
On Saturday (October 21), the Compton MC shared an Instagram Story that his followers immediately ran with considering its stark contrast with his usual toughness. Against a black backdrop, he wrote: “Ladies, zelle him $6,500 if you love him. He deserves to be spoiled too [praying-hand emoji].”

Adding to the countless roasts under a Hollywood Unlocked reshare of the post, one person commented: “Mind you, Game is 50 years old and on the internet talking like this.”
The “Hate It Or Love It” hitmaker caught wind of this and responded: “I’m 43 bitch n-gga n it was a joke in my story reposted from Justin laboy… get ya panties out ya cheeks.”
In another instance of temporarily suspending the toughness he has become so famous for (in this case, without backtracking), The Game recently let out the softer side of his personality by celebrating his daughter’s birthday on social media.
The menacing West Coast rapper took to Instagram in late August and posted a carousel of photos from over the years with him and his 13-year-old daughter, California Dream Taylor.
He ended up putting down the microphone in exchange for a box of tissues in a lengthy message where he described his loving relationship with her.
“I’m late on posting this am because every time I’ve thought of you this morning my eyes swelled up with tears,” he began. “If I could have one wish… it would be to go back in the past & relive all of the moments we’ve shared together just to hold the little you a lot tighter. How’d we get here so fast ?? How does a little baby who needed me to do every single thing for her grow to be such a beautiful young woman who can do almost everything for herself ??”

He continued: “How’d we go from ‘Daddy can we go get ice cream’ to ‘Daddy can we go to Van Cleef & get a anklet or necklace??’ Lol. Where is my 3 year old word for word Beyoncé song singing daughter who would get mad when anyone would interrupt her ?? If she’s somewhere in there still, please tell her I miss her dearly & all the time we spent together. I know I can’t go back so all I have is the memories.. & what beautiful ones we made. Hold on…..”
The Game then said that he began to get emotional, which is why he broke up his message in multiple parts.

“I had to break my post up because I literally couldn’t hold back the tears so I needed a minute to get myself together…,” he shared. “I’m back…. and I want you to know that there is nothing on the earth I love more than you California Dream. You are my lifeline & my every waking day is another chance to be an even greater father to you than the day before. My only daughter, my heart & of course my soul…. My best friend & absolute “twin.”
He added: “I adore you. I’m proud of you & words cannot describe all of the emotion I feel whenever I have a moment to reflect on our journey together.”
