THE GAME - LAPD ARREST THE GAME

US rapper The Game has been arrested in Los Angeles.

The multi-platinum selling artist was detained by police on suspicion of making criminal threats yesterday.

The Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, is in trouble over an incident which occurred in February but he has made plain his desire to stay clear of the law.

"I want to say that I'm not guilty, and I love California," he was captured as saying by a film crew as he drove away in the back of a police car outside his home.

The 27-year-old rapper has a habit of getting involved with feuds – so much so that many have said his whole branding revolves around passing the time by winding up his hip-hop gangsta colleagues.

Whether it be against 50 Cent, Domination or Guerilla Black, The Game has never hesitated to make playful jibes against his rivals.

On this occasion it appears complaints were made against him by a female, however. He was bailed for $50,000 (£25,222).
