The Game Explains How 50 Cent *Didn't* Put Him On

The Game's got a new album Drillmatic coming soon.

So, of course, he's going to be extra to promote it

To drum up hype for Drillmatic Game has readjusted his origin story to cut out Dr. Dre.

Now he's chopping out 50 Cent, too.

“I was in a group with those n*ggas," Game said of G-Unit while speaking to Fat Joe. "But I wasn’t breaking peanut butter jelly sandwiches in half with them. I didn’t see them n*ggs until it was time to work. A lot of people like, ‘N*gga, 50 put you on.’ No, 50 did not put me on.

“People don’t understand that. At that time in L.A., I was it. I was the n*gga. 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.”

Despite Game's past with Iovine, Iovine wouldn't give him the time of day when they ran into each other last month at a Lakers game.

50 found that very funny.

Is Game revising history when he says 50 wasn't responsible for his career?
