The Game, a well-known rapper from the West Coast, has expressed his disappointment at not being featured in the Super Bowl LVI halftime show, which included Dr. Dre and other well-known performers from his career. Known for being one of the greatest halftime shows ever, it featured legendary performances by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and a surprise cameo by 50 Cent singing “In Da Club.” But The Game, who has influenced West Coast music greatly and collaborated closely with Dr. Dre, felt left out. The rapper King Trell expressed a similar view on Instagram, writing, “FYI: @losangelesconfidential I’ll be the first to admit that I should have been on stage at the Super Bowl.” This statement was retweeted by The Game, who added, ”
“Shit brazy fr,” he said, sounding annoyed and in agreement.
Supporters and commenters also backed The Game, highlighting his ties to Los Angeles, his background as Dr. Dre’s protégé, and his G-Unit partnerships with 50 Cent.
The Game has previously expressed how it feels to be left out. His exclusion from a list of the greatest 50 rappers of all time, compiled by Funk Flex, T.I., and Ebro, infuriated him at the time, but he used it as motivation to improve his next release.
