The Game, an American rapper has lost ownership of his record label and all profits from the sale of his last album Born 2 Rap in a $7 million sexual assault case.
Priscilla Rainey who accused the rapper of sexual assault in 2015 has been award and granted “any and all rights, title, and interest” in any money, property or future payments from the rapper’s independent label, LA Prolific, which he launched with his last album Born 2 Rap in November.
Rainey, had accused The Game of sexually assaulting her at a Chicago sports bar while taping his VH1 reality show “She’s Got Game.”
She sued him for $10 million in 2015. But he didn’t show up to court and ignored the trial. As a result, the court ordered him to pay $7.13 million in damages to the former reality dating show contestant
The Game denied all of the allegations but refused to take the trial seriously, forcing the $7.13 million judgment.
Since then the rapper has been fighting for an appeal over his decision not to pay Rainey a cent.
She was also awarded the ownership of Born 2 Rap and royalties from the album. Including any salary Game may have been paying himself through LA Prolific.
“All third parties who receive notice of this Order are directed to pay any and all money or property due or to become due, under this Order; directly to Plaintiff either: (1) by check payable to ‘Priscilla Rainey.’
“And delivered to Plaintiff’s counsel” until the judgment is satisfied in full,” stated Judge Virginia A. Phillips.
According to the judge, if the rapper attempts to go against the ruling and collect the money; he would be charged with contempt of court.
