Recently released from jail, the gangsta rapper The Game was sued by Shannon Rodrick, the victim who claimed the star has attacked him in basketball game last year.

Although he has been released from jail on Sunday, March 9, The Game is not all the way in the clear in regards to the incident that sent him behind bars. Reportedly, the hit maker of "The Documentary" was facing another lawsuit for the basketball brawl incident. The Celebrity Cafe reported that the Geffen Records' rapper was sued by Shannon Rodrick, a man who claimed the rapper pulled a gun on him on February 24, 2007, during a pick-up basketball game held at the Rita Walters Educational Learning Complex in Los Angeles.

According to TMZ, Rodrick has ordered a civil suit against the star claiming that the rapper has conducted an assault, battery, civil rights violation and negligence toward him. The lawsuit was filed on Thursday, March 13, in Los Angeles Superior Court. In the suit, Rodrick claimed that he and the rapper were involved in a heated argument that led to the gun threatening.

Rodrick claimed the rapper whose real name Jayceon Terrell Taylor has approached him during a game and said, "Your team is garbage." Rodrick also accused that Taylor has punched him with a closed fist on his left cheek until he fell backwards." Then, he claimed that the former G-Unit member went to his vehicle to get a gun and threatened him with the gun saying, "I'm going to blast this fool."

Last week, conflicting speculations about the gangsta rapper being release earlier from jail surfaced. It was reported earlier that the L.A. County sheriff's records and the statement from his attorney suggested the rapper has been released after spending 8 days out of his 60-day penalty. However, a conflicting statement from his manager let out information that the rapper will be moved to another jail.
