The Game is set to appear on an upcoming episode of Drink Champs which already has the internet in a frenzy.
A trailer for N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s Drink Champs podcast is receiving a lot of attention after dropping on Monday (Feb. 28). Among the comments The Game makes in the trailer is the assertion that Kanye West has done more for him recently than Dr. Dre ever did.
“It’s crazy that Ye did more for me in the last two weeks than Dre did for me my whole career,” he said in the clip.
Although the snippet gives no context, the pair dropped their collaborative single “Eazy,” last month. He also made an appearance at Ye’s DONDA 2 listening event in Miami last week.
However, Dr. Dre has made significant contributions to The Game’s career. He signed him to Aftermath Entertainment in 2003, and executive produced his 2004 debut album The Documentary.

People on Twitter were quick to condemn The Game’s remarks. Hip-Hop statistics account @HipHopNumbers claims to have done the math.
“The Game has name-dropped Dr. Dre 174 times in his studio album career alone (19/album)” they note. “He even name-drops Dre 79 times more than he name drops himself…”

He even name-drops Dre 79 times more than he name drops himself…
On Drink Champs he said "Ye did more for me in the last two weeks than Dre did for me my whole career"…
Another user called out The Game for name-dropping Dre before downplaying his input on Drink Champs.
“The Game had Dr Dre name in his mouth on 80% of his songs & he fronted on Dre on Drink Champs?”

Meanwhile, others just expect him to tell a bevy of lies on the show.
