Who’d want to be a rapper these days?

In the last seven days, Cam’ron got his arms shot by carjackers, DMX went to court for taking Valium, crashing his car and then telling an attendant that he was a Fed, and 50 Cent has seen his movie posters get taken down for promoting gun crime.

And now The Game has been arrested. Why? He was wearing a mask and swearing while signing autographs in a mall. Way hardcore behaviour, we’re sure you’ll agree.

The Game (CDs) had already reached a certain level of notoriety earlier in
the year by having a bit of verbal with 50 Cent because one of them
walks like a girl and had a My Little Pony toy when they were ten, or
something. But recently The Game had kept his nose clean. Until he was
arrested on Friday, that is.

Police have said that The Game and a group of companions were
behaving disruptively and swearing in the Four Season Town Center mall
in North Carolina. At one point, according to the police, one of The
Game’s entourage was sprayed with pepper spray after behaving in an
intimidating manner. The Game himself was charged with disorderly
conduct and resisting arrest.

Staff at the Four Seasons Town Center say that The Game was wearing
a full-face Halloween mask and swearing loudly when he was asked to
leave. he refused and the police were called.

The Game -who was released on a $500 bail – obviously has his own version of events. He told WFMY-TV:

"I got arrested for signing autographs. Signing a little girl’s
autograph got me arrested… They thought I was Rodney King, man. It was a case of mistaken
identity. It’s unfair, man. Their behaviour’s unfair."
