GAME TALKS BEEF, "DETOX," LA SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TWITTER CONTROVERSY

Chuck Taylor dismisses his beefs, "Detox's" latest push-back, and discusses his Twitter gaffe from months ago. In a recent interview with Tim Westwood, Game began by dismissing all of his beefs, as he is inclined to do on occasion.

"The Jay-Z shit? Who cares. 50? Who cares. I don't care about that. All I care about is my fans, my kids, my family, and my friends," he proclaimed.

When asked whether he had beef with Big Sean, Game simply replied, "Big Sean is a cool kid. I ain't got beef with nobody. Plus, nobody want no fucking beef with me anyway."

In light of the news that Dr. Dre would be taking a break from recording, Game also spoke on Detox. "I don't know. You have to ask Dr. Dre when he comes to the U.K.," said Game. "It is what it is."

Game also gave his take on his highly-publicized spat with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department caused by tweets sent via his Twitter account. "That was a fucked up situation," admitted Game. "That shit had me all over BBC News and CNN and shit. It is what it is. Twitter's dangerous. Twitter can get people killed. Twitter's doin' all kinds of shit. Gotta be careful with your tweet."

"That shit is stupid. None of you kids should be out there trying to die over a website. It don't make no sense. Live your life and have fun."

Fif speaks with Piers Morgan about why he abstains from using substances.

50 Cent has previously spoken on the fact that he’s never used drugs, but now, he’s explaining why he abstained from illegal substances. During an interview on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” Fif opens up about his background, noting that while he sold drugs, he never used them.

“I got a chance to watch a lot of my mother's sisters and brothers at different periods experiment with the use of drugs or alcohol and I see them respond so differently that I stay away,” he explained.

He also reflected on a bad experience he had with alcohol and why it’s driven him away from drinking. "I've had an experience that made me paranoid because of it and I stayed away from it following that," he said.
