The Game wants his incarcerated music friends released expeditiously.
Over the weekend, The Game, formerly Jayceon Taylor, hosted a lavish birthday party in Hollywood. Social media clips of the event went viral after Taylor could be seen on a mic voicing his support for not only R. Kelly but also Sean “Diddy” Combs.
In an unexpected statement Taylor shared:
“Ay, since nobody else gon’ say it… free Kells, n*gga.”
“Free that n*gga. Free Diddy… free all the freaky homies. I don’t give a f***. Some baby oil and some pee pee, free the guys… It’s my birthday, n****. I don’t see anything wrong with freeing the guys.”
It didn’t take long for the veteran rapper to receive backlash online, considering the severity of the lawsuits tied to both men.
R.Kelly was convicted in 2021 in a Brooklyn federal court of multiple charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking young girls. The disgraced singer is currently serving a 30-year sentence. The Chicago courts followed New York and added another 20 years for child pornography and enticing minors.
R.Kelly’s expected release date is 2045.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced to four years and two months (50 months) in federal prison on October 3, 2025, after being convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Judge Arun Subramanian also ordered him to pay a $500,000 fine.
He was initially staying at the MDC jail in Brooklyn even after his conviction, but later requested that he be moved to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to be able to attend its resident drug addiction program and receive visitation from loved ones.
Diddy was expected to have concluded his sentencing by May 8, 2028, but his release date was extended to June 4, 2028.
