Less than 48 hours after Game announced signing to Cash Money Records, footage of the West Coast hip-hop heavyweight receiving an official YMCMB chain has surfaced.
According to reports, the footage stems from an on-stage ceremony last weekened.
Rapper The Game has been giving a public welcome to the Young Money/Cash Money gang by new label mate Tyga. The Compton rapper had signed with Cash Money after 8 years with Interscope. At Saturday night’s (October 12th) “How The West Was Won” concert in Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine, California, Tyga cemented the new signee’s status with some jewelry. During Game’s performance, Tyga made a surprise appearance to perform his song “Faded”. After his performance, Tyga presented the new signee with his very own Young Money/Cash Money chain straight off of his own neck. Game gets his first chain from a rap label eight years after throwing his G-Unit chain into the Meadowlands Arena crowd during his performance at Hot 97?s 2005 Summer Jam. (360 Nobs)
