In a saga that began with a reality dating show, rapper The Game faces the repercussions of legal battles stemming from allegations of sexual assault. As the case unfolds nearly a decade later, it shines a light on power dynamics in the entertainment industry and the pursuit of justice.
The Lawsuit That Outlived the Show
In August 2015, amidst the airing of VH1’s “She’s Got Game,” contestant Priscilla Rainey filed a lawsuit against The Game, alleging sexual assault. Rainey claimed that during an off-camera date, the rapper had “forcefully reached his hand inside her dress to rub her bare vagina and buttocks.” The incident was not recorded, and The Game denied the allegations, labeling Rainey a liar and attacking her credibility on social media.
As the civil case progressed, The Game launched a $20 million negligence lawsuit against Viacom, the parent company of VH1, arguing they failed to adequately screen Rainey prior to her participation. He contended that a psychologist had initially cleared her but reversed their decision upon discovering her alleged criminal background and mental health issues. However, the court dismissed his claims in 2018, obligating The Game to pay Viacom’s legal fees.
The rapper’s legal troubles worsened when he missed crucial court dates and failed to attend trial, leading to a judge ruling in favor of Rainey in November 2016. A jury awarded her $7.13 million in damages, emphasizing The Game’s blatant absence from the legal proceedings. Undeterred, The Game appealed and provocatively expressed that Rainey would never receive a cent, stating, “Put that on my favorite auntie’s poodle. This broad ain’t gettin’ shit.”
From Legal Pursuit to Property Claims
Over the years, Rainey diligently pursued various legal pathways to collect her awarded damages. In a significant turn of events in 2020, she was granted ownership of The Game’s independent record label, Prolific Records, in addition to royalties from his album “Born 2 Rap.” By 2021, she also gained the right to access income from his Cameo account, which reportedly yielded around $19,000. Despite these victories, the bulk of the $7 million award remained unpaid.
Determined to recover her losses, Rainey targeted The Game’s most significant asset: his real estate. In 2017, he purchased a lavish estate in Calabasas, California, for $2.9 million. Spanning over two acres, the property boasted a 4,000-square-foot main house, a guesthouse, a resort-style pool, and a multi-purpose basketball and tennis court. By 2025, the estate’s value had climbed to approximately $4 million, a substantial sum but still short of fully covering Rainey’s judgment.
Rainey alleged that The Game attempted to conceal the mansion by transferring the deed to his manager, Wack 100. However, the court recognized this maneuver and in May 2025, a judge sanctioned the forced sale of the Calabasas home, designating all proceeds for Rainey. While the house has yet to hit the market, it is anticipated to yield a significant amount. Nonetheless, even after such a sale, The Game will likely remain in debt to Rainey.
As the legal saga unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the challenges survivors face in seeking justice, even years after the initial incidents. Rainey’s persistence may soon lead to a bold declaration: “She got Game’s… Calabasas mansion.”
