50 Cent answers to The Game on claiming WHAT UP GANSTA

50 Cent's What Up Gangsta, a 2003 song by the G-Unit rapper, was allegedly written by The Game, according to new accusations made by Wack 100.

The Game's manager made a shocking revelation about one of the first songs on 50's 2003 debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin' during a Clubhouse session back in March.

“I’m going to speak on something [The Game] don’t ever speak on,” Wack hinted before referencing the hook from “What Up Gangsta.” “What up, cuz? What up, blood? What up, gangsta? Who you think wrote that? I’m going to leave it alone.”

In response to the allegations, 50 Cent said he didn't even know who The Game was at that stage in his career during a recent interview on The Breakfast Club.

“[The Game] said he wrote ‘What Up Gangsta.’ I’m like, ‘C’mon, bro. You wasn’t even around when we did that. That was before you even came into the picture,'” he replied. “That was Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. We didn’t even know who he was until after. There’s a point when you [reach] desperation and you’ll say anything.”

He later acknowledged that he also contributed to a few additional songs on Game's 2005 album.
