A rapper testified Tuesday that he ran for his life after The Game pointed a gun at him and, with about 10 other men, chased him outside a Hollywood Hills home where a party was being held in 2012.
Glocc 40 told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Susan Bruguera that about three other men also had weapons.
“I feared I was going to die,” Glocc 40 said. “Everybody’s got guns on me. My best defense was to run and get away.”
The 40-year-old plaintiff, whose real name is Lawrence White, sued The Game in October 2012. Bruguera is hearing the non-jury trial of his lawsuit.
Glocc 40 testified he was leaving the party on July 7, 2012, when he heard someone say, “Turn up.” He said he turned around and saw The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor.
The Game, a Grammy nominee and prominent member of the West Coast hip hop scene, asked one of the men with him for a handgun, Glocc 40 said.
“He cocked it, put a bullet in the chamber and said, ‘You heard me, I said turn up,”‘ Glocc 40 said. “I turned and ran. I got chased down.”
The Game placed the gun next to Glocc 40’s forehead, the witness said.
“I said, ‘Look at me, you don’t want to do that, get your hand off that trigger,”‘ Glocc 40 testified. “Everybody else was saying, ‘Shoot him, shoot him.’ My life was just flashing.”
The Game then moved the gun from Glocc 40’s forehead to his chest, the witness said, after which fists started flying.
“Everybody just started punching me and beating me up,” he said, adding that he lost count of the times he was hit.
Glocc 40 said the entire incident lasted about 20 minutes and ended when his attackers got in a car and drove away, as some of them were saying, “Just let me pop him, just let me shoot him.”
Glocc 40 testified he received medical treatment for injuries to his face, hands and legs. His lawyer, Steven Soloway, displayed photos of Glocc 40’s wounds that the rapper said were taken by his girlfriend.
Glocc 40 said he has received additional threats from The Game both in person and on Twitter and Instagram. He said that for his own protection, he moved out of state, often lives in hotels and drives as many as three different cars daily. He said he did not have a gun at the party and has never owned one.
Glocc 40 also maintains The Game defamed him on the Internet after the confrontation in order to promote the defendant’s new album at the time, “Jesus Piece.”
The Game, 35, for the most part was expressionless as he sat next to his lawyer, Lonnie Brandon, and listened to his accuser’s testimony. Brandon maintains Glocc 40 is a member of a Colton street gang.
