News: The Game Dropped By Aftermath?
50 CENT's rift with The Game is alive and kicking, despite the latter's attempts to make peace. The Game recently attempted to end the feud when he announced his engagement to Valeisha Butterfield. But 50 CENT - real name Curtis Jackson - reignited it with the release of a mixtape featuring The Game dressed as a stripper called Doja on the cover.
The move baffled many, because it came months after The Game's last attack, and the rift was presumed to be over. But 50 Cent's G-Unit cohort Lloyd Banks reveals the Candy Shop rapper had bigger priorities to deal with first. He tells MTV, "Well, as far as getting back at Game... he was never a priority. (50) had too many business deals to take care of. But nothing's forgotten."
IS 'THE GAME' OVER AT INTERSCOPE?
The Game is offically off Aftermath Records and is now signed to Geffen Records, according to Aftermathmusic.com
His upcoming album The Doctor's Advocate is scheduled for release on Nov 7 and features appearances from Nas and Mary J Blige, while production is supplied by Dr. Dre, Cool & Dre, Scott Storch and among others.

Word is rapper signed five-album deal with Geffen that includes distribution of Black Wall Street.
According to reports, rapper the Game has left Dr. Dre's Aftermath/Interscope label and signed with Geffen/Interscope Records in a deal that would involve the release of his next five solo albums and the distribution of his imprint, Black Wall Street.
As previously reported, the Compton rapper was itching to get off of 50 Cent's G-Unit label under Aftermath/Interscope after the two had a nasty falling out.
SOHH.com reported last week that Aftermath founder Dr. Dre and Interscope exec Jimmy Iovine advised Game to sign the five-album deal with Geffen in exchange for the Black Wall Street distribution deal, as well as the release of his upcoming album, "The Doctor's Advocate," on Geffen instead of G-Unit.
Game is expected to continue working with Dre on "The Doctor's Advocate," which was originally due in June but has since been pushed back. Other producers on the album include Kanye West, Scott Storch, Cool & Dre, Timbaland and Just Blaze.
