LOS ANGELES (AFP) - US west coast gangsta rapper "The Game" pleaded not
guilty Thursday in a Los Angeles court to felony charges that he
threatened a man with a gun at a pickup basketball game.
"The Game," aka Jayceon Terrell Taylor, 27, is charged with three counts
in the February incident in which he allegedly hit a player on the
opposing team, then went to his Cadillac and got a gun and threatened to
shoot the man.
One of the charges relates to possessing the gun in a school zone, and
another to exhibiting the gun in the presence of a police officer.
He could get five years in prison if convicted on all the charges.
Taylor, nominated for two Grammys for his hit 2005 CD "The Documentary,"
is a star of gangsta rap, which glorifies gang culture and violence.
He is free on 50,000 dollars bail and scheduled to appear in court on
June 27.
