Game Hit With Assault Charges, $280 Million Dollar Lawsuit

Multi-platinum rapper Game has been hit with assault charges as well as a $280 million dollar civil lawsuit, stemming from an incident at a Maryland radio station in January.
Prosecutors in Prince Georges County, Maryland have formally filed assault and battery charges against Game, born, Jaceyon Taylor, after the rapper allegedly assaulted radio host Kwasi “DJ Zxulu" Jones formerly of 93.9 WKYS-FM in Washington, D.C. on January 21st, 2005.
“The story that’s leaking out there is pretty much true,” Jones told AllHipHop.com in March of 2005. “I was hospitalized with multiple injuries.”
According to reports, Jones apparently made a joke about Game’s manager Jimmy “Henchmen” Rosemond’s earpiece attachment he was wearing for his cell phone.
Jones’ lawsuit alleges a group of 20 men accosted him and assaulted him in the radio station.
G-Unit, Shady Records and Aftermath Entertainment are named in the lawsuit as well, since Game is an artist on 50 Cent’s label, which is distributed by companies owned by Eminem and Dr. Dre.
Jones claims the record labels were negligent for issuing a remix to "Hate It or Leave It," which originally appeared on The Game's album The Documentary.
On the remix to “Hate It or Leave It” featuring 50 Cent Game rapped: “I’m rap’s MVP/Don’t make me remind y’all what happened in D.C.”
"This is my public apology,” Game told BET when the video premiered on BET. “To all the people at Radio 1, I'm being sincere; we're sorry about what happened in D.C. It'll never happen again."
In response to the assault, Jones confirmed reports that a ban on Game’s Records was issued by WKYS’ owner Radio 1, but was later lifted.
Jones alleges assault and battery, emotional distress and negligence.
Representatives for Game had no comment.

You can tell that guy deserved a beating. He needs another one pronto.
-
$280 mill? HA! Maybe $500,000, if that.
But no, the guy didn't deserve a beating for making fun of a guys earpiece. Yall are crazy if you think so.
-
Yeah, 20 vs 1 is gangsta.
-
This must be a fucking joke..280 mill ???
-
is this a joke?
20 v 1 is an exageration to try an support the 280 mil he is suein 4. 20 guys cant all be beatin on a guy simeltanelously, think about it.
whats that djs reputation gonna be if he fails to win the case!? "yo am the man who ruined Game's career!"
an if he wins i wouldnt like to b in his shoes; there wil be millions of gangsta fools willin to take him out 4 revenge 4 next to nuthin.

I dont know. I know for sure one guy cant simultaneosly beat 20 other guys.
About 20 beating 1.. well that's possible and pretty easy to do.

I think Woozie was trying to say that 20 dudes couldnt be beating 1 man at once.

Oh, he's a scientist!!!! ::)
Some of you really got me rollin'!!! Does it really matter how many people simeltanelously can beat one guy? First: if you are there with a crew of about 20 people, and the other dude is alone, there's no chance for him to beat someone. So even if they beat him giving him 1 punch per time, there's still no chance to survive an attack uninjured. You know what i mean? Second: i highly doubt that dj really wanted to fight them all, or one of them in particular. He just was having fun, you know, trying to be funny and shit, and he got hospitalized for a joke he made about an earpiece attachment? Are you fucking kidding me? They beat him down for a fucking comment about an earpiece attachment?? That's one of the dumbest things i've heard in a while, man! He autocelebrated himself being gangsta, in that track, but at the end of the day he's gotta face a $280 Million Dollar Lawsuit. Who's the dumb? Shit, this kid really act stupid sometimes..
-
this is ridicolous, you have to be a incredible coward to be on of those 20 people fighting ONE single person. yeah thats gangsta 20 on 1 fuckin joke

I dont know why you typed all that out,you think I dont understand english or sth???Im sorry but I wasnt born in Europe,only in a place where english is a standard.Also,that shit wit him sending 20 people is hilarious & a pussy act,he couldlve beat the dude up himself or let Game's manager do it.This kind of reminds of that situation where Pac had Mobb Deep beatin up by The Outlawz.Same pussy act.As for that ear attachment,I understand them cause in my school or wherever Im at I dont let anyone make fun of me.
