The Game has walked back his controversial comments on Kanye West doing more for his career than Dr. Dre.

The Game has admitted that he regrets his controversial comments on Kanye West and Dr. Dre. Appearing on Amazon Music's Bars and Nuggets podcast, Game explained that he was drunk during the infamous Drink Champs interview. At the time, he had argued that West did more for him in the previous two weeks than Dre through his entire career.

"So basically I was hollering at N.O.R.E. and them a little inebriated," he explained in the interview. "And I said some things that I meant. I'm not gon' take it back—I ain't no sucker. But having Dre do anything for your project, anything in your career, touch any part of anything you’re doing in life is such a blessing that I shall not ever s**t on that again."

"And I haven’t talked to Dre since. And it don’t really matter if we talk again in life," he continued. "Like, I'm a standup Compton, L.A. n***a and it is what it is. I said what I said, I'm not going back on it. It's just that I should have actually gave him more grace for what he did do and that was actually mentoring me and doing things that nobody could have done for me in my career."

"When I was talking on there, I was speaking in terms of what Ye was doing right at that moment which was life-changing for me in that moment last year," he added. "And then I based it on Dre's lack thereof because I took the business part personal and I should have left it business. But Dre is Dre, bro. We all know what Dr. Dre do."
