The Game is taking a stand. In the midst of the Bill Cosby scandal, the Compton rapper took to social media to defend the comedy legend, who is being accused of rape.
He posted a series of Instagram photos with the words “Black,” “Lives,” and “Splatter,” along with the names of unarmed black men and women who were killed including Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, and Mike Brown.
While he isn’t denying the allegations against Cosby, he says there’s no physical evidence proving Cosby did anything and the allegations are in the past. He expresses his anger over how Cosby was arrested and jailed, while others like Darren Wilson and George Zimmerman remain free.
“Y’all put Dr. Huxtable in jail off of word of mouth,” says Game.
However, he stops short of calling Cosby’s accusers liars. “I’m not here to say these women are liars or not because RAPE is a huge deal & I don’t wish that on any woman of any color… But whether or not he actually did anything, we won’t know because of the lack of evidence or proof & the duration from the point of the alleged assault to now,” he adds.
Read his full statement below.
I think it’s crazy that Bill Cosby has a mugshot for alleged assaults 11 years ago with no physical evidence or proof besides these womens accounts of what he did to them an entire decade later…. But Darren Wilson, who killed Mike Brown on camera, is FREE. George Zimmerman, who killed Trayvon Martin, is FREE. Timothy Loehman, who killed Tamir Rice seconds after arriving on the scene.. on camera, is FREE. Officers who shot Keith Childress 19 times for holding a cellphone they thought was a gun, are FREE. Officers who arrested Sandra Bland & detained her until her mysterious death, are FREE. All of the officers who shot 50 rounds into Sean Bell’s car, on his wedding day, killing him, are FREE ! I could go on all day, but you get the point… & again, y’all put Dr. Huxtable in jail off of word of mouth. I’m not here to say these women are liars or not because RAPE is a huge deal & I don’t wish that on any woman of any color… But whether or not he actually did anything, we won’t know because of the lack of evidence or proof & the duration from the point of the alleged assault to now…. Why did it take these women over 10 years to bring this to the light ? & while we out here laughing & making memes of a 70+ year old man who practically raised us all on tv as children….in other news…. The people we pay taxes to keep employed are still taking the lives of men, women & even children, ON VIDEO, are out here enjoying the New Year FREE & I don’t see no memes of that shit…. & who am I except a man with an opinion……. So I’m not here to ask anyone to do anything other than pay attention & govern yourself accordingly – The Game #BlackLivesSplatter.
