American rapper, The Game has responded to allegations that he’s running a scam to con unsigned artists out of their money.
In a new interview with HipHopDX, the rapper explained his promotional side gig and how word started to go around that he’s taking money from desperate would-be rappers.
An Instagram post accused The Game of sliding into DMs of struggling rappers to offer them a slot on a mixtape for five hundred dollars to one thousand dollars.
It went on to say that The Game posted the mixtapes with new songs inserted to an unofficial Soundcloud, separated from his own widely followed account.
But The Game said the allegations are coming from rappers who are unhappy with his services because they failed to make hay.
He countered that he gave them exactly what he promised, a mixtape slot alongside The Game. He said the clients got upset when that did not make them overnight celebrities.
He also noted that the unhappy customers are merely louder and more attention-grabbing than the people he’s helped.
