West Coast rapper Game might want to call up the best legal team money can buy after reportedly being sued for attacking a cop during a basketball game last month.
According to reports, off-duty police officer Onyebuchi Awaji has gone after Game’s neck by filing a lawsuit Monday (April 6).
Awaji claims Game nailed him with a sucker punch that may have caused brain damage. Not only did Awaji claim Game sucker punched him, he says Game fled the scene as soon as he heard cops were called. At the time of the fight, sources close to Game told TMZ Game threw the punch out of self-defense, claiming Awaji verbally threatened Game with a gun. (TMZ)
Aside from this, a Los Angeles judge recently delayed a ruling on Game’s legal war with a former nanny employed by him.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said he still needs information on what attempts Karen Monroe has made to get work and how much her therapy is costing. Monroe sued the 35-year-old rapper in July 2013 after he allegedly ranted about her on Instagram, accusing her of neglecting his children and describing her as a “very dangerous baby sitter.” Mitchell said he is unlikely to issue a seven-figure judgment against the entertainer.

Back in December, Game caught a break by having a judgement delayed.
A judge today delayed issuing a default judgment against the rapper The Game, who is accused of defaming the former nanny of his children in a rant on Instagram. In what may be the first Instagram libel case, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff gave plaintiff Karen Monroe’s attorney until Feb. 24 to provide more documentation to support her therapy expenses and how she claims she lost income due to damage to her reputation.

According to 2013 reports, the nanny went after Game’s head following publicized comments he made about her following termination.
In what might be a first, a celebrity is being taken to court for alleged defamation on Instagram, the popular photo-sharing social media forum. The lawsuit comes from a woman named Karen Monroe who says hip-hop superstar The Game hurt her reputation. (The Hollywood Reporter)
