UPDATE: That didn't take long. Shortly after we posted this story about his dispute with Kevin Durant, The Game took to Instagram yet again, and this time, it seems a truce has been reached. However, this was his longest caption yet; check it out in full below.
Can't they just get along?
And can't they stop using social media to do all their fighting?
Rapper The Game and Kevin Durant are at odds over a possible wager on a three-pointer.
It all started last Friday, when The Game posted this Instagram video (with NSFW language) of him taking a shot with Durant in the background and the caption, "Bet Kevin Durant a.k.a. @EasyMoneySniper $20,000 that he'd have to donate to the @froggallstars & play wit #LaFamilia in the #DrewLeague if I made an NBA 3 pointer all net & my hittas @jharden13@Demar_Derozan & @ChampagnePapi was right there to witness it all... I guess that's that ! KD must ain't get the memo..... My jumper wetter than stripper -----!!!!!!!!!! #BloodMoney #OvO #LaFamilia#itMustBeTheShoes #AirYeezys #GiveMeA10"
On Tuesday, Durant told TMZ there was no such bet. This led to The Game blasting Durant with a very long, very hashtag-heavy caption on Instagram accompanied by a picture of the TMZ headline:
"Now why @easymoneysniper frontin on the kids homie ?!?!?!? We clearly said..... 'If I made the 3 from NBA range you'd supply the entire @froggallstarsprogram with brand new Kevin Durant shoes'...... 120 kids, close to $200 a shoe equals about $20,000..... How am I lying ???? Just say you a sore loser & you ain't wanna help the kids.... It ain't that they need it cause I bought all 120 kids Lebrons out my own pocket as you can see on their Instagram.. But I thought it would be kool for them to meet you & be able to ball in your shoes especially since they look up to you & I made the shot as WE AGREED...@champagnepapi was right there, so was @jharden13@trim_skit & @Demar_Derozan But don't sweat it champ, we'll still support you & I'll go buy them myself just cause they mean that much to me..... 1 love - The Game #FroggAllstars #NikeBasketball #iGotTheKids #itsTooHardForSomePeopleToKeepIt100 #MyOldestSonsFavoritePlayer #WhyWouldILieAboutSomethingThatsForTheKids #WhatDidiHaveToGain #PeopleHeardWhatWasSaid #AintImportantTho #NoLoveLost #illTellThemTheShoesCameFromYouAnyway #TheyWontKnowTheDifference #SadThingIsTheyreYourShoesAndItWouldntveCostYouADimeToGetThemForTheKids."
Durant fired back on Wednesday morning via Twitter.
And then The Game apparently did the right thing: He talked to Durant and straightened out their "miscommunication."
"Had a conversation with @easymoneysniper this morning & we both agreed that there was a miscommunication between the middle party which was "TMZ" & that the way the camera man presented it to him was as if he bet me $20,000 cash which wasn't the case.... We agreed that if I hit the 3 point shot he would get KD gear & his kicks for all the kids in our @froggallstars organization which is close to 130 children.... 130 kids at a price of maybe $150 a shoe & gear after tax equals close to $20,000 give or take so that's where that # came from. When I woke up & had multiple texts & calls saying KD called me a liar on TMZ, I acted immediately in clearing things up on my end on my page & didn't have a # on @easymoneysniper to clear it up privately which is what I should've done because the situation that was meant to be friendly & charitable to the kids & is now blown out of proportion.... But again, after talking to KD this am he again agreed to get all the kids his kicks & KD gear & also stated he was taken back by the $20,000 cash because that wasn't what was agreed on by us..... It was a friendly bet that was only purely beneficial to the kids in our program & I'm glad we straightened it out in the end & I personally told @easymoneysnipermy bad for jumping the gun due to what I read on TMZ this am. It was truly a miscommunication.. I could've chose my words a bit wiser & made it a little more clear.... So on behalf of all the kids, myself & the@froggallstars organization, we want to thank him again for looking out for our kids & our fast growing program, it's very much appreciated - The Game #froggallstars #therobinhoodproject #nikebasketball #weready #aau #KD #MvP #ThankYou"
