NEW YORK - The rapper Game says he was kicked out of a major fashion convention in Las Vegas on Tuesday because organizers thought he was involved in the shooting of Suge Knight and feared retaliation.
The best-selling rapper was scheduled to showcase his upcoming sneaker, Hurricane by 310, at the Magic Marketplace at the Las Vegas Convention Center. However, Game said after he arrived, he was told he was no longer welcome because of the shooting of the rap mogul over the weekend in Miami, the night before the MTV Video Music Awards.
