Rick Ross is a professional troll. Of all the rappers involved in the Drake war, Rozai seemed to be having the most fun. The Game tried to capitalize on Rose’s beef tendencies by dropping a diss song, but the MMG boss laughed it off. He refused to have the game recorded, forcing the altercation to end before the game even began. Or so we think. On July 10, the game ran into some serious legal trouble, and Rose couldn’t help but take some shots at his opponent.
In 2016, The Game was sued by Priscilla Rainey for sexual assault. Rainey later filed a second lawsuit against Game, claiming he had been using shell companies to avoid payments. She won that one too. With the damage so great, Rainey plans to seize Game’s house as part of the judgment she owes. AllHipHop broke the news, with Rick Ross posting on his Instagram Story. He then posted a screenshot in which he placed the article in the game’s private messages.

Needless to say, The Game was not a fan of this roast. He responded to Rose by pursuing the rapper’s weight. “Even though I lost my house, I didn’t,” Game wrote. “You’re still going to be a fat n**ga! That Ozempic will kill you before the little guys can do h*ea*sn**ga.” In typical Rick Ross style, he laughed off the response. He posted the interaction on his IG Story with the caption: “Now that we’re @n**gas, get out of here!”
This was the first time Rick Ross was the aggressor in a game. The MMG stalwart didn’t bat an eye when The Game dropped “Highway Revenge,” or when The Game posted an AI photo of Rose in a CO uniform. Unfortunately, this interaction remains a difficult time for the Compton rapper. His relationship with Kendrick Lamar was called into question during the Drake war, and his absence from “Pop Out” led to him defending his stance on IG Live. He claims he and Lamar have a good relationship, but fans remain skeptical.
