The Game expresses disappointment over exclusion from Super Bowl LVI halftime show

The Game, a prominent West Coast rapper, has voiced his disappointment over not being included in the Super Bowl LVI halftime show, which featured Dr. Dre and other major artists he has worked with throughout his career. The halftime show, widely regarded as one of the best, highlighted iconic performances by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and a surprise appearance by 50 Cent performing "In Da Club."

However, The Game, who has had a significant impact on West Coast music and a close working relationship with Dr. Dre, felt overlooked. Rapper King Trell echoed this sentiment, posting on Instagram, "FYI: @losangelesconfidential Should’ve been on stage at the Super Bowl I’ll be the first to say it." The Game reposted this message, adding, "shit brazy fr," indicating his agreement and frustration.

Fans and commenters also supported The Game, pointing out his Los Angeles roots and his history as a protégé of Dr. Dre, as well as his collaborations with 50 Cent as a member of G-Unit.

This is not the first time The Game has spoken out about feeling excluded. He previously expressed frustration over being left off a top 50 rappers of all-time list curated by Funk Flex, T.I., and Ebro, stating that it motivated him to make his upcoming project even better.
