The Game’s career has been a compelling maze of shifting loyalties. Of course, there was Doctor’s Advocate, the sophomore album that featured plenty of reverence for Dr. Dre, but none of the good doctor’s beats. This week, he aligned himself firmly behind his longtime collaborator Lil Wayne. The Louisianan has been feuding with Young Thug for several weeks now; in addition to the natural split caused by Thug’s relationship with Wayne’s estranged mentor Bryan “Baby” Williams, there’s Barter 6, the provocative title of Thug’s mixtape. Game threatened to beat up Thug, asserting that Wayne has “never been Hollywood, just Hollygrove,” referencing the “Go DJ” rapper’s neighborhood and the site of one of Thug’s recent concerts. But Jo Jo Capone, who has close ties to Game but is affiliated with Rich Gang and Young Money, intervened. He had the following to say on Instagram:
I JUST HAD A GREAT PEACEFUL CONVERSATION WITH BOTH OF YALL I WANT TO CONTINUE TO SEE YALL SMILE AND DO WHAT YALL LOVE TO DO SUPPORT YOUR FAMILIES YALL BOTH HAVE CHILDREN AND SIBLINGS THATS ROOTING FOR PEACE SO WITH THAT BEING SAID LOVE YALL WE NEED YALL TO PUT A END TO THE MINOR SITUATION & NOT LET THE MEDIA WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT RATINGS FUEL THE SITUATION LETS LOVE AND RESPECT EACHOTHER PEACE&LOVE.
Game confirmed the truce on Twitter:
