Universal denied any breach in earlier letters, according to the complaint, and no court has ruled. We put that claim next to ten years of court files: the 2016 civil verdict of $7,130,100 (The Game has always denied the allegation; it was a civil case, not a criminal one), the trial he did not attend, the royalties, label and Cameo money that courts redirected, the balance that grew to $7.41 million by 2022 according to Rainey's lawyers, the Calabasas house that, according to Celebrity Net Worth's review of foreclosure records, went back to the lender, and the August 2026 appeal he lost. 📌 CHAPTERS 00:00 The $500,000 lawsuit against Universal 05:31 The trial he did not attend 08:47 How the $7.13 million was collected 14:16 What happened to the house 18:04 Who actually gets paid SOURCES Rainey v.
