The Game has recently addressed rumors about his relationship and dating rumors with model and actress Karrueche Tran, following a surprising change to his Instagram profile. Over the weekend, the rapper updated his avatar to a selfie of Tran, taken from her own Instagram. The photo, which shows Tran flaunting her natural hair while posing in a mirror, caught the attention of The Shade Room and sparked a wave of speculation.
Fans quickly took notice, with some questioning why The Game had chosen Tran’s photo for his profile. One comment read, “Why did the game put this photo of you on its account as a profile photo? [crying face emoji].” Speculation about a potential romance between The Game and Tran was rife, with one fan joking, “Karrueche is putting up Badu type numbers when it comes to having dudes sprung [crying face emojis].” Another added, “Let me find out the game make your hair stand up on your head like that yes I want it [crying face emojis].”
In response to the chatter, The Game took to Instagram to clarify the situation. He commented, “That picture dope. & K is a fire person n the homie. Gone bout yall day. Yall gone be alright,” denying any romantic implications. He has since changed his profile picture to an illustration of Kobe Bryant.
