Well, when The Game told reporters last week he was "taking a break" from hip hop, I'm not sure if he meant a five year break, but apparently that's how long he may be locked up for if found guilty of charges he is facing relating to that previously reported incident during a basketball game in LA back in February.
As you'll remember, The Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, was arrested last month over allegations that he pulled a gun while taking part in a basketball game in LA earlier in the year. Police claim the rapper firstly punched a player on the opposing team, then took a gun out of his car and threatened to shoot him. Quite what the other player had done to cause such a reaction I'm not sure - hummed a 50 Cent tune, perhaps. But anyway, the hip hop star has now been charged with making a criminal threat and possessing a firearm in a 'school zone' (the basketball court was next to a school, I think), both of which are rather serious and could result in five years plus in prison. Taylor is yet to comment on the charges, although at the time of his arrest last month told reporters: "I want to say that I'm not guilty".
Taylor is due in court next week to face unrelated charges stemming from that also previously reported incident last year when he allegedly impersonated an police officer and ordered a cab driver to run red lights.
