Recording artist The Game attends the radio broadcast center during the 2016 BET Experience at the JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. Live on June 24, 2016 in Los Angeles, California.

The Game seems to have changed his feelings on 6ix9ine.

Tekashi 6ix9ine spent the majority of the year telling the rap game to suck his dick including The Game. The West Coast vet accused 6ix9ine of being a fake member of the Bloods which prompted a back-and-forth between the two rappers for a few months, although it's simmered down quite a bit recently. In light of the possible life sentence 6ix9ine is facing, The Game seemed to have a change of heart about the "FEFE" rapper.

Earlier today, Tekashi 6ix9ine appeared in court and entered a not guilty plea in his racketeering case where he faces six counts of firearms and racketeering charges. The Game chimed in on the news and seemed to have simultaneously shade 6ix9ine while sympathizing with the Brooklyn rapper's legal situation.

"This is sad," he wrote. "This kid ain't een bout that life but the pigs will make it look like he was John Gotti on paper n try to make an example out of him. I encourage all new & young artists to just focus on your music family & your money."

The Game concluded his statement by seemingly shading 6ix9ine's alleged gang ties. "Trying to be Gangsta for fickle fans ain't the way," he added.

Unlike The Game, YG had a different reaction to 6ix9ine's federal charges. "I don't wish jail on nobody. That’s a fucked up situation. That’s a fucked up place,” YG said during a recent concert following the news of 6ix9ine's arrest. "But n***a, fuck 6ix9ine, n***a!"
