Recently, The Game released his new “Drillmatic: Heart vs. Mind” album, which featured 30 songs recorded with more than 20 artists. His eleventh studio album is a fabulous comeback, comprising top hit artists like Kanye West, Drake, and so forth.
The Game now boasts that he’s the best rapper to ever live. Fans have been awaiting this album for a long time now. Even the artist was feeling ecstatic about dropping his masterpiece. He posted on Instagram: “DRILLMATIC the REAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR. I promise I’m going 30 for 30, no skips.’
Something that raised concern, though, was that the artist had to remove some Hip Hop Stars from the list, and it turns out Nipsey Hussle wasn’t the only one out. A few days after the album was dropped, The Game’s song “O.P.P.,” in collaboration with NBA YoungBoy, was removed.
The reason behind NBA Youngboy’s song crossed Out
Wack 100, who’s in charge of Game’s musical career, revealed that they had to cut his song off due to their limited budget. NBA YoungBoy usually charges $300,000 a verse; nevertheless, Wack confessed that the 22-year-old rapper made a deal with The Game, half of that price. When considered, it’s still a significant amount.
“But that situation would have cut into marketing overall, so I had to make an executive decision on whether I wanted to pay the tab he sent me, which was a respectable great tab,” Wack said during a Clubhouse chat.
The manager emphasized the fact that there’s no current feud going on with YoungBoy. The latter even mentioned that the rapper has one the highest number of streams on Youtube, so he will eventually receive the money back.
“Nothing against YoungBoy. YoungBoy didn’t disrespect us, didn’t violate us,” the manager also said
The Game took his Instagram and commented:
“I never paid for a verse in my life nigga, 200,000 for 16 [crying laughing emojis] never & one day blood !!!”
Furthermore, Wack disclosed that the album was limited to 20 songs. Taking that into consideration, they would have been able to settle, but Game added a few more which cost them.
