The Game has clarified that he didn’t target anyone in his latest project.

The rapper from the West Coast recently released “The Documentary III”, his 11th solo album. Some listeners feel he made remarks about fellow Compton artist Kendrick Lamar several times throughout.

Notably, the album also features Drake on a hook. Despite these perceptions, The Game denies such claims, although there are points where he mentions Lamar and hints at Lamar’s past issues with Drake.

An Instagram post by @obzervetv shared a critique from user @tyleravilez, who accuses The Game of “dissing” Kendrick. According to Tyler, both artists hail from the same city, and The Game should be assuming a more “elder” role at this stage of his career.

“As an L.A. native, we’re supposed to be sticking together, we’re supposed to be showing that we are a unit, and that if you mess with one of us, you mess with all us, and yet you dissin’ one of our own,” he said. “It doesn’t make any sense, bro. Wrap it up.”

He added, “At this point in time, you’re supposed to be an elder. You are supposed to helping the youth. Giving people opportunity, so they can get in the rap game and flourish.”

The Game Denies Dissing Kendrick Lamar

The Game then hopped in @obzervetv‘s comments and said he didn’t diss Kendrick at all.

“Ain’t diss nobody on that song loud fa nuthin ahhhh [ninja emoji],” he wrote in a comment that has been pinned.

For what it’s worth, on the song “Geezus,” The Game raps: “I say Drake the homie, y’all say it’s treason/ I can’t believe it/ Want me to pick sides while y’all d–kride/ When you’re from the west side you ain’t gotta pick sides…/ I draw led, erase you n—as/ Put that on God, it’s me against all odds/ I’ll pop the steering column on the GNX and wait for n—as.”

Then, on “No Brakes” featuring Drake, he mentions picking sides again when he raps: “Me, Drake and a Draco, we the Three Amigos/ N—a said pick a side, then I’m picking homicide,” in reference to the Toronto rapper and Kendrick’s battle in 2024.

In “LA Monster,” he alludes to Lamar’s “Boogeyman” moniker and once more references GNX, the title of Lamar’s Grammy-winning best rap album released in 2024.

“I ain’t got no problem with the boogeyman/ And he ain’t got a problem with me/ ‘Cause I’ma LA Monster,” he raps and later spits, “I might drive the Rose today/ The GNX scare the hoes away/ ‘Cause I’ma LA Monster.”

Fellow West Coast rapper Stat Quo suggests that the root of the issue lies in The Game inviting Drake to Compton for the filming of the music video for their 2015 track “100.”
