Kanye West & The Game: From Brothers to Beefs – What Went Wrong?

In the ever-turbulent world of hip hop, loyalty is currency—and lately, it seems like Kanye West and The Game just went bankrupt on each other.
Over the weekend, Ye took to social media and called out The Game for showing love to Toronto rapper Top 5, someone Kanye claims has threatened him. What made the jab sting even more? Ye and The Game have a long history, including major collaborations and even luxury gifts—like two Maybachs Kanye reportedly gave him.
In a now-viral post, Ye expressed his frustration, saying he’d no longer be executive producing The Game’s highly-anticipated album, The Documentary 3. His exact words? Let’s just say they were fiery.
But The Game wasn’t letting that slide.
He responded via Instagram, firing back with intense words and accusing Ye of switching up. According to Game, he never asked for the cars and had even stepped in to help squash the situation with Top 5—at Ye’s own request. Game claims he did his part, reached out to Top 5 to keep the peace, but then Kanye ghosted him and changed numbers.
This fallout comes not long after their eyebrow-raising collaboration earlier this year on a song titled “Tina,” which drew headlines for its bold lyrics about Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles.
What once looked like a solid brotherhood is now unraveling in public view—and fans are left wondering: Is this just another industry spat, or the end of a powerful rap alliance?
One thing’s for sure—the drama isn’t over.
