The Game Claims 50 Cent and Jimmy Lovine Paid Him $1 Million to Stop Using ‘G-Unot’

The Game said he was paid a million dollars to take a word out of his mouth.

During his earliest beef with 50 Cent The Game started his own “G-Unot” movement after he got kicked out of G-Unit.

In a recent interview the Compton native said that 50 Cent and Jimmy Iovine would then go on to pay him to stop using the word.

He made the claim during a recent appearance on Matt Barnes’ and Stephen Jackson’s All The Smoke podcast. The Game told the hosts that G-Unit boss 50 Cent and former Interscope CEO Jimmy Iovine gave him $1 million to stop using the term “G-Unot”, which he frequently used to disparage his ex-label.

“Lotta people don’t know this: 50 and Jimmy Iovine gave me a million dollars to stop saying G-Unot,” he said. “They wrote me a check, they bought it. I had to trademark the G-Unot. And you remember when I was going around with the rat and doing all that shit, that shit hurt.”

The Game, who was dismissed by G-Unit in 2005, claimed the term killed “killed G-Unit” as a brand.

“You stopped seeing the candy cane tank tops and all that shit,” he continued. “All that, the whole G-Unit/Mark Ecko, the shoes, that shit died. That shit was a hot commodity at once, G-Unit clothing. N***as was wearing the sweats, headbands, the masks, everything. That shit died, bro. So they had to pay me. I should have asked for more, but them n***as gave me a million. But I’m a hood n***a; a million dollars to stop saying this word? Where the check? They wrote the check and I stopped saying it.”

I really like Game, but he talks too much. He reminds me of something one of my exe’s used to say to me. “Like can’t you just be fine and shut up.”

If you think Game owes 50 Cent for putting him on, Game isn’t trying to hear that either.

Earlier this year, The Game shot down claims that 50 Cent was responsible for his success.

“‘A lot of people like, ‘N***a, 50 put you on.’ No, 50 did not put me on. People don’t understand that,” he said during a Fat Joe Instagram Live broadcast. “At that time in L.A., I was it. I was the n***a. That’s why Jimmy [Iovine] took me, and told 50 he was putting me in G-Unit. And 50 accepted it because my name was ringing bells in the streets of hip-hop.”

What are your thoughts?

Anyway, I came across the cutest photo of the Game with his kids.
