Game sure knows how to stir up controversy.
Since the former G-Unit general jumped into the rap scene back in the mid-2000s, he's been doing, saying and tweeting things that have helped keep his name in the headlines. Most recently, Game took to his Twitter account and extended an olive branch to former friend-turned-foe 50 Cent.
"@50cent Aye n----, get on twitter & let's get this s---- movin !!! G-G-G-G-well, you know the rest," he wrote late last week. "@50cent All it take it 'ONE PHONE CALL'! U call me, I call BUCK, tell Banks holla at Yayo & dat puts HIP HOP @ OUR MERCY!"
For the most part, Fif ignored Game's pleas and Lloyd Banks played them off as a publicity stunt during his "RapFix Live" visit on Thursday (November 11)—but it appears that Game got us again. Without a hit record on the radio—though he did release a collaboration with Diddy called "Red Bottoms" on Tuesday (November 16)—or a new album on store shelves (his The R.E.D.

The Date: February 2005
The Moment: 50 Cent drops Game from G-Unit after Game refuses to side with him in several beefs with New York rappers Fat Joe and Jadakiss. Then a shooting takes place at New York's Hot 97 offices.
The Controversy: 50 Cent—along with some help from Dr. Dre—helped build Game's career and gave him an identity. So when Game decided to cut ties with him by siding with Fif's enemies, it definitely looked like he was playing himself. But, all it did was build his buzz even higher and make his sophomore album, Doctor's Advocate, that much more anticipated. Read More...
