The Game Drops Ghostwriting Bombshell About 50 Cent Song

We all know that 50 Cent and The Game were members of G Unit, but did you know that the Hate It Or Love It rapper penned 50’s opening for “What Up Gangsta?” Yeah, a real jaw-dropping moment. The news surfaced after The Game hopped on Clubhouse with his close friend/Blueface’s manager, Wack 100. 

During their conversation, The Compton-born rapper addresses 50 Cent’s accusation about writing a large portion of his debut album, The Documentary. To clear the misleading information, The Game set the record straight. He implies during the chat that 50 Cent only wrote “what he said on the record” and didn’t help him write his own bars. 

Somewhere in their talk, Wack 100 mentions that The Game wrote the opening for “What Up Gangsta” by 50 Cent. 

“I’m going to speak on something [The Game] don’t ever speak on.” Wack then recites the hook from “What Up Gangsta.” 

‘What up, cuz? What up, blood? What up, gangsta?’ Who you think wrote that? I’m going to leave it alone.”

The Game didn’t clarify this statement. However, he did speak about not getting credit for the work he’s done while being signed to G-Unit Records and Dr. Dre‘s Aftermath.

The Game says,

“All the shit that I assisted my pen with on Aftermath, from Dr. Dre records to being in there on the G-Unit albums and being in there at the middle or tail-end of Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, I ain’t never said, ‘I wrote this certain song,’” 

He adds,

“I don’t give a fuck about that, my n-gga. If it’s about writing shit and staying on point with your pen, it’s been 20 years, my n-gga. And it’s certain n-ggas back then that I was rapping with, G-Unit. N-gga, I’m here right now with a song on the top of the Billboard.”
