Beckham-dissing rapper The Game - "I'd just pick the ball up and kick the shit out of the stadium, game over" - has been released from Los Angeles' Twin Towers prison after serving eight of 60 days for a firearms offence. Sorry, 60 days? Eight? Et cetera.
Twice Grammy-nominated though he is, the rapper - real name Jayceon Terrell Taylor - has something of a rep for getting into scrapes, and finally fell foul of the law to the extent where a custodial sentence was the only option when he pulled a gun on a fellow player after a basketball match in 2007, following something of an on-court disagreement.
Not that he shot him, you understand. Eight days, of 60, remember. Should've kicked that ball out of the stadium and been done with it. Game over... well, avoiding prison, anyway.
In 2006 rap's MVP was ticked off for impersonating a police officer. I once did the same, around my local 'hood. I was four years old.
Shit, out of the stadium.
