The Game is setting the record straight about rumors he told JAY-Z to ‘suck his d**k’ for excluding him from last Sunday’s Super Bowl Halftime Show.

A historic, Hip Hop-heavy affair led by Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige, the halftime event was crowned one of the most memorable showings at the big game yet.

After making headlines earlier this week for reposting a fan’s message that he should’ve been on the legendary lineup, reports surfaced the rapper (born Jayceon Taylor) had some fiery words for JAY-Z (leader of the halftime show’s producer Roc Nation) for his exclusion.

Now, he’s cleaning and clearing up the messiness.  Look inside to see what he said.

After collecting a GRAMMY for the 2019 hit single ‘Say So,’ singer-songwriter PJ Morton reunites with powerhouse songstress JoJo with hopes of scoring a redo.

The new song, titled ‘My Peace,’ was released Friday (February 18) and features Mr. Talkbox.

Featuring an instrumental arrangement reminiscent of Outkast’s ‘SpottieOttieDopaliscious,’ ‘Peace’ talks about the importance of self-care in romantic relationships.  Speaking on the heart-tugging tune, Morton said:

“I wanted to write a song that was a duet and gave two perspectives, but wasn’t necessarily about a relationship. I think after going through so much these last couple of years, many people really got down to what’s truly important. And most realized that nothing is worth their peace.”

The Super Bowl LVI halftime show, starring Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar, was a historic affair that put Hip Hop on its largest stage yet.

But, while praise continues to ring in from many for the star-studded showing, others have launched formal complaints and petitions against the performance in the days since.

In addition to grievances filed to the FCC against the NFL, a petition from the American Family Association has garnered over 16,000 signatures from viewers who claim the halftime show was ‘vulgar’ and ‘not family friendly.’

Among those in the detraction chorus is former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, who took to press to specifically slam Eminem and Snoop Dogg for their contributions to the show.  Look inside to hear what he said and see how Em responded.

Mary J. Blige followed her 2017 album, ‘Strength of a Woman,’ with the longest break between LPs of her career to date.

And though she filled the time with garnering critical acclaim and award nominations for her work in film and television, the Hip Hop Soul Queen never stopped promising new music – a pledge she made good on with the February 11 release of ‘Good Morning Gorgeous.’

Kicked off by the Dave East-assisted ‘Rent Money,’ the DJ Khaled-assisted ‘Amazing,’ and the song ‘Good Morning Gorgeous’ (which peaked at #2 on Billboard R&B charts), anticipation for the project was only outpaced by excitement for her involvement in the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show (February 13).

In conjunction with the Super Bowl spotlight, Mary hit the promo trail running in support of ‘Gorgeous’ via a number of high profile outings on Web and print including ‘The Breakfast Club,’ ‘On Air with Ryan Seacrest,’ ‘Ebro in the Morning’ (Hot 97), ‘The L.A. Times,’ and more.

Look inside to see how industry analysts predict that support will impact the first-week sales of the album.
