Viacom is coming for The Game's pockets.
After winning a $20 million lawsuit against him, Viacom wants the rapper to pay for the legal fees they had to shell out for the case, according to court documents obtained by The Blast. Viacom's legal bill is reportedly $35,729.50, and they're looking to get reimbursed.
The original lawsuit happened when The Game sued the television giant for negligence in bringing a woman with a criminal background to join the cast for his VH1 dating show, She Got Game. The woman, identified as Priscilla Rainey, later accused The Game of sexual assault and won a $7.1 million in a lawsuit against him. The Game later sued Viacom for the $7.1 million and an additional $20 million for damages and negligence mentioned above. However, the case was dismissed and now Viacom is adding insult to injury by asking him to pay for his loss.
These aren't the only legal troubles The Game is having lately either. He's also being sued for promoting a cryptocurrency company accused of failing to live up to the promise of revolutionizing the weed industry. The multi-million-dollar class-action lawsuit was filed against the rapper and the crypto business, ParagonCoins. The company reportedly promised to "track every stage of cannabis cultivation, from the purchasing of seeds all the way down the line to the dispensary selling the final product to consumers" but failed to live up to the hype. Unfortunately for The Game, he used his social media platform to promote the company. And now he may have to pay for that as well.
