Rapper arrested on suspicion of criminal threats

The Game has been arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of making criminal threats, it was revealed today (May 12)

Although precise details of the allegations are unknown, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Police Department revealed that the rapper’s detention related to an incident that happened in February, according to the BBC.

The 27-year-old, real name Jayceon Taylor, is alleged to have made the threats following a three-hour search of his Glendale home.

After being freed on $50,000 police bail, The Game told a film crew outside his home, "I want to say that I'm not guilty, and I love California."
