The Game is now a wanted man. The Los Angeles County D.A. ordered an arrest warrant this week for the rapper over criminal threat claims. The judge also charged the "Hate It or Love It" rapper with a felony.

The charge reportedly stemmed from a fight during a pick-up basketball game back in March. The rapper was said to have punched off-duty LAPD officer Onyebuchi Awaji and yelled to him, "I'm going to kill you."

The two were engaged in the fight after the cop reportedly threw an elbow at The Game, who later hit Awaji back using his elbow. The Game also allegedly threatened to shoot the police as he said, "I got that thing," hinting that he indeed had a gun.

The Game denied punching Awaji and making the death threat, but according to a video taken during the incident, The Game was clearly seen landing his fist in Awaji's face. Though so, The Game was not charged with battery.

Awaji filed a lawsuit against the rapper on Monday, April 6. He claimed in the suit that the attack caused serious brain injury.
