The Game has opened up about his dating past and expressed regret over the way he handled some of his relationships.
Game sat down with Snoop Dogg, Big Boy, Matt Barnes, and Deon Cole for Kirk Franklin’s latest Den of Kings episode. At one point, Game started reflecting on the women he did wrong.
“Sometimes, like when I was in my 20s and my 30s, it was just an exchange,” he said during the conversation. “It was, ‘Hey, hey, I’m giving you this. We’re having our moment and I’m going to get back to my life. You get back to yours.’ No emotions ’cause you’re young. Everybody’s got their whole life ahead of them.”
He continued: “When you get in your 40s, man, you start feeling like you’re womanizing, and I’m taking emotions home with me, or she’s taking emotions out the door with her if you are, you know, living that type of lifestyle.”
The rapper went on to explain how he used to date carelessly because of his youth. “When you’re young and you’re dealing with a young woman, ain’t nobody tripping. It’s all good,” he said. “But when you’re older and you know that that woman has trauma from her past relationship and all of that … dinner is cool, going out on the date is cool. But then once you start getting intimate with people and you know for sure that they are invested in you even a little bit, and you know you ain’t talking to this person after tomorrow…”
The Game used to be engaged to Tiffney Cambridge, the mother of two of his children. He and podcast host Shaniece Hairston most recently welcomed a child together last December.
