A fresh round of tension erupted on Wednesday after Kendrick Lamar’s longtime security guard, 2 Teez, blasted Compton rapper The Game over new claims about Lamar’s early career. The dispute reignited after The Game appeared on Big Boy TV and repeated a long-circulating story that he once tried to sign Kendrick before the TDE star became one of the biggest rappers on the planet.
During the interview, The Game told Big Boy, “I was talking [to Top Dawg] about letting me get Kendrick as an artist, because I knew what he was going to be.” The comment positioned him as an early believer who attempted to bring Kendrick under his wing during the formative years of K.Dot’s rise.
2 Teez fired back almost immediately. Under social-media reposts of the interview, he wrote, “Blood faking he never wanted to sign Kendrick!!!!”
2 Teez has often commented on behalf of Kendrick Lamar, most recently, during the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. The comment signaled that The Game’s version of events didn’t match what he and TDE remember from those early days.

He didn’t stop there. In an Instagram Story, 2 Teez doubled down by reposting the interview clip with another message: “Ain’t doing no faking for you niggas this year!!!”
The follow-up made it clear he’s prepared to confront what he sees as false narratives. They involve Kendrick or the history of TDE’s rise.
Back-and-forth tension between The Game and Lamar’s circle has surfaced several times over the years, often tied to The Game’s public claims of supporting Kendrick before Kendrick’s mainstream recognition. While The Game has long described himself as an early champion who spotted Kendrick’s future greatness, people tied to TDE have occasionally pushed back, arguing that those stories inflate his role.
2 Teez’s comments go beyond a quick clapback. They reflect a deeper frustration from Kendrick’s camp about what they consider revisionist storytelling.
His posts signal a renewed effort to protect the accuracy of Kendrick Lamar’s origin story — and to challenge anyone they believe is reshaping it for attention, nostalgia, or industry mythology.
