The Game Has To Chill Out
The Game can have his criminal battery charges dismissed if he’ll attend some classes (36 of them) and complete them all by February 2009.
TMZ is reporting they were at the court hearing today and the judge told him that he needs to learn to chill and anger-management classes are the way to do it.
Game reportedly punched the brother, Kirky, of his dead cousin right after the funeral. The row was over the funeral and its costs. Kirky (real name: Robert Kirkwood) filed a police report after the fight. He says Game agreed to pay for the funeral services, etc., but didn’t pay up.
Game’s version is entirely different. He says his family was trying to extort money from him using the funeral as the excuse. He says he offered to pay for the casket and flowers, but they wanted him to pay for all of it:
“I feel like they were just trying to play me out of [$17,000],” he said during an interview on Arizona’s 98.3 radio station back in July. “I talked to my mom about it. My mom said ‘you should pay for the casket and the flowers, if you wanna do anything.’ They rejected that because they wanted me to pay for the whole thing.”
He’s currently on probation for a firearms offense, and if he had been convicted of battery a judge could have violated that probation and tossed his a** into the clink.. so he dodged a bullet.
