The Game might have had the world buzzing with his latest album that just released recently, but he’s certainly about to suffer the consequences of his actions. The rapper has just lost his appeal in court that pertains to a sexual assault case and will take a substantial financial hit in its wake.
The case dates back to 2015, when survivor Priscilla Rainey won the legal battle after having sued the rapper, who was found liable for sexual battery. The incident occurred during the filming process for VH1’s She’s Got Game, where Rainey suffered abuse and won the case.
As part of the consequences that followed, she was awarded USD 1.3 Million in compensatory damages on top of USD 6 Million in punitive damages. In total, Rainey is owed USD 7.3 Million but hasn’t been able to receive it in its entirety for about a decade. As of her second lawsuit in 2021, the rapper still had to pay her USD 6.8 Million.
The Game’s latest attempt to deny it has been thwarted now, after a California appeals court rejected The Game’s claim that Rainey “did not mail the court’s order for publication to his known address,” also stating that there were other errors in the summons. However, the court found the summons to be compliant with state law and that there was no necessity to “mail the order for publication.”
