In 2017, the rapper was expected to appear and perform in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, and Cairns but he ended up pulling out of the tour after the promotion company refused to shell out $3.21 million for a documentary the rapper wanted to film. In addition, Game also increased his performance fee from $32,100 to $51,340, with an additional after-party appearance fee of $19,250. He also informed the company he would be bringing a 15-person entourage that needed to be catered to. But since there was no paper work of Tour Squad complying with these stipulations, Justice Sarah Derrington determined Game’s decision to back out of the deal to be a breach of contract. (B. Scott)

Yo mama married?” When the host responded that neither she or her mom were married, he responded, “Alright then so that should answer your question. Why you worried about me getting married?” He added, “You talking to me about something you haven’t fulfilled or your mom hasn’t fulfilled so you shouldn’t be worried about what’s going on in my house — try to figure out what’s going on in yours.” When the host said that she is asking as a fan that has watched his relationship play out on TV, he said, “as a fan — you fans need to turn around and see if your mama’s married, or your father’s married. That’s what you fans need to do. If that’s not going on in your household you fans don’t need to ask me any questions, you dig?” He later told the host that he was kidding with her and added, “Every woman deserves marriage and when it’s the right time for us, please believe it’ll be done,” he added. “I don’t know if it’ll be done for the public but it’ll definitely be done for us.” (Madamenoire)
