Who said the life of a rap star was glamourous? Compton rapper The Game recently found himself locked up in Canada, before being released two days later without charge. It all seems a little ridiculous so we’ll let The Game do the talking and see if it makes any more sense:
“It ended up being two days man because my people, everybody was on it, man. From my girl to just everybody was on it. We finally had to get a signature from the secretary of state saying that all of my crimes I committed in the past were done with. I served my time, I was off probation, no parole, everything was dead so they ended up letting me go.”
What is remarkable is that the rapper was arrested in the first place, seemingly without a crime ever being committed. When asked about the reasoning behind it, The Game says:
“It was crazy. They let me see the paperwork for why they were holding me and it said like, ‘This person is in Canada. He’s kingpin of a gang of Bloods and he came to rally up Bloods and to bring new Bloods to the concert. They just made it seem like it was a cult. Like I’m trying to bring people in the name of my music to come and just pray for the Blood gods or something. I didn’t show no passport, they was waiting on me soon as I got off the plane so somebody knew something about something.”
