The Game says that Dr. Dre wasn't offended by his controversial comments on Kanye West. Speaking with VladTV, Game recalled his infamous remark that West did “more for his career” in two weeks than the legendary producer ever did.
“At that time, Ye was doing a lot for me that he didn’t necessarily have to do. And Ye has always been there for me and always had my back,” he said. “What I can say about Dre is Dre ain’t always had my back — for good reason. Dre has to protect the interests of Dr. Dre. And there’s times when Ye had to protect the interests of Ye, but he didn’t give a f*ck. He’d rather just go to bat for me.”

He continued: “I was just speaking my truth … I’m pretty sure when Dre heard it, he didn’t feel slighted. He knew where it was coming from because I talk to him every so often, so it wasn’t like I was picking on Dre. He should have and I know that he understood where that came from when I said it. And if I saw Dr. Dre today, I don’t think he would feel a way about what I said.” Check out Game's full comments on the matter below.

In other interviews since the original comments, Game has admitted he regrets taking the dig at Dr. Dre. Appearing on Amazon Music's Bars and Nuggets podcast in July, the rapper admitted he was a bit drunk during the Drink Champs interview in which he fired off the remarks. At that time, he and Dre hadn't spoken since, but he assumed things would be fine between them once they did. Be on the lookout for further updates on HotNewHipHop.
