The Game has planted himself on the front lines of Los Angeles looking for ways to help the community and get the city back on its feet ever since the tragic wildfires began blazing through L.A. County earlier in January.
Following his inauguration, President Donald Trump paid a visit to California on Jan. 24, but Game took issue with Trump making a quick stop touring the Palisades Fire and not the other areas which were also left devastated.
“Obviously Trump came to see the Palisades fire and everyone affected needs hearts, but these people are just as important,” Game told TMZ. “I think that President Trump and anybody else that is running the country need to come down here and do their due diligence here as well.”
The Compton native added, per HipHopDX: “I think President Trump went over to the affected areas of Pacific Palisades, but he didn’t make his way to Altadena. I’m not telling President Trump what he has to do or what he should do or nothing like that, but let’s not forget about Altadena.”
Earlier in the month, Game was boots on the ground helping Pasadena firefighters battle the blaze by delivering food, drinks and supplies like blankets.
“Me & my team have been down here with the brave men & women fire fighters on the grown day in & day out assisting anyway I can do make their days a little easier,” he wrote in a heartfelt Instagram post. “The hearts & level of humility in each & every soul down here is a beautiful thing to witness & be a part of. These fighters are coming from all over the city, state & country to help put an end to what has been a long week of catastrophic events caused by these fires.”
Game even shifted his focus to an animal rescue mission where he went around Pasadena and Altadena looking to find pets and reunite them with their owners.
L.A. radio legend Big Boy gave The Game his flowers for being outside during a time like this. “The Game is out there… I was reading the comments and it was so much positivity under that,” Big Boy said. “And if he can get someone else out there — just one more person out there, that’s beautiful.”
L.A.’s FireAid Benefit Concert took place on Thursday night (Jan. 30) with Billie Eilish, Lil Baby, Jelly Roll, Tate McRae, Olivia Rodrigo, Peso Pluma and many more hitting the stages at Intuit Dome and Kia Forum. Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Balmer matched every dollar donated during the concert.
