The Game Sings Familiar Legal Refrain
The Game isn't playing.
The "How We Do" rapper, whose real name is Jayceon Terell Taylor, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to three felony charges stemming from his arrest for allegedly pulling a gun on the player of an opposing team during a game of pickup basketball in Compton.
The tattoo-faced rapper was charged in June with one count each of making criminal threats, possession of a firearm in a school zone, where the game was taking place, and exhibiting a firearm on the grounds of a facility for minors.
Should the 27-year-old emcee be convicted of the charges, he faces more than five years in prison. A pretrial hearing has been set for Oct. 30.
During a preliminary hearing earlier this month, Rodrick Shannon testified that he exchanged words with the rapper during a Feb. 24 game at the Rita Walters Educational Learning Complex before the trash-talking turned serious.
Shannon claimed the Game called him "garbage" before punching him in the left cheek. When members of the rapper's team witnessed the exchange, Shannon claimed, they grabbed him while the Game fetched a gun from his Cadillac Escalade.
While Shannon denied the rapper ever proceeded to point the gun directly at him, he nevertheless feared for his safety.
"He started proceeding toward me," Shannon said at the hearing. "The gun was still in his hand. He yelled that I'm a [expletive] fool. I turned around and ran, because I feared for my life."
While the alleged run-in took place in February, the Game wasn't arrested until May, when police finally obtained a search warrant for his Glendale home and took the rapper into custody.
Tuesday's arraignment marked the second time in a week the rapper found himself pleading his innocence in court.
Last Thursday, 50 Cent's onetime protégé was granted a conditional discharge on a misdemeanor charge of impersonating an officer, a bizarre addition to his rap sheet picked up last November when he informed a New York cabbie that he was a badge-carrying member of the "hip-hop police."
The charge, which the Game pleaded not guilty to in court, will be dismissed and the case file sealed, provided the rapper refrain from getting arrested again for the next six months.
