NEW YORK — Apparently the Game and 50 Cent have put aside their issues. The two publicly buried the hatchet on Wednesday at a joint press conference in Harlem.
Although the Game and 50 barely made eye contact or spoke to each other, they did shake hands and pose for photographers, and 50 even put his arm around Game. The rappers also donated a combined $253,500 to the Boys Choir of Harlem.
50 was the first to address the Schomburg Center crowd, which included the Reverend Run and Russell Simmons. "In the shadow of the untimely death of Biggie — today marks the anniversary of his death — we're here today to show people we can rise above even the most difficult circumstances and together we can put negativity behind us," he said as Game stood off to the side behind him with virtually no expression on his face.
When Game took the podium, he apologized to the fans, the radio stations and their label on behalf of himself and 50 for their beef consuming the headlines. "I'm almost ashamed to have participated in the things that went on the past couple of weeks," he said. "I'm here, I'm apologetic.
"On behalf of myself and 50, we're making a statement that is a lot louder than just two voices," he added. "We're showing that you can control your destiny — not only your destiny, your future. ... Not only am I gonna control mine, I'm gonna control mine in a productive and positive way."
