The Game is shutting down speculation that his recent Kendrick Lamar comments are meant to spark a rap battle, while making it clear he has no intention of backing down from one either.
The Game has denied trying to bait Kendrick Lamar into a feud as conversation around The Documentary III continues to spill beyond the music. Speaking with The Shade Room, the Compton rapper said the idea that he is deliberately trying to provoke Kendrick misses his point, according to Complex.
“I don’t got to prove nothing else,” Game said, pointing to the longevity of his career and his confidence as an MC. He insisted that he is “not baiting nobody into nothing,” but added that he is also “not running from nothing.”

Game broadened the point beyond Kendrick, saying the same stance would apply to Jay-Z, Drake or Ye. “Everybody knows what it is with me. I can rap, bro,” he said, before delivering the line that has driven much of the discussion: “I’m not baiting nobody into no beef, but… I do beef very well.”
The comments arrive after The Documentary III fueled speculation over where Game stands in the aftermath of Drake and Kendrick’s high-profile feud. On the album, his Drake collaboration “No Brakes” and several references interpreted by listeners as Kendrick-adjacent helped keep the conversation alive, even as Game has repeatedly argued that he is not choosing sides.

That includes the line about a GNX on “LA Monster,” which some listeners took as a reference to Kendrick’s 2024 album. Game later explained that the lyric came from his own experience owning a dark-windowed GNX, saying the woman he was with at the time did not like riding in it and that the Kendrick connection was coincidental.
Game has also said earlier versions of “No Brakes” were less restrained, but that he removed material because he wanted the focus to remain on the music instead of unnecessary conflict. His latest remarks draw the same distinction: he is denying that he is actively seeking a battle, while refusing to present himself as someone who would avoid one.
For now, Kendrick has not publicly responded to Game’s latest comments. The conversation instead remains tied to how listeners are interpreting The Documentary III, Drake’s appearance on the project, and Game’s longstanding insistence that his relationships with both sides are more complicated than a simple alliance.
