The tour will see the rapper perform across the pond after dealing with passport issues. Earlier this year, The Game opened up about his issues with US Immgration in a video clip (as per Stuff) and revealed that he was working for roughly 9 or 10 months with US immigration to retrieve his passport.
“It’s nobody’s fault but mine, and I’ve been grinding. I’m real, real close to having my passport in the next few days. The only thing that got in the way was this holiday weekend,” he said.
The caption of the rapper’s Instagram post of the UK tour dates read: “Once again it’s ON!!!!!!! Finally got all my passport issues resolved & will be free to tour worldwide again in 2025 after almost 5 years !!!!!”
Released on January 18 2005, ‘The Documentary’ served as The Game’s commercial studio debut LP. The album debuted at Number One on the US Billboard 200 and sold 586,000 units in its first week. ‘The Documentary’ was certified as double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in March 2004 and went on to sell 2.5million copies in the US by November 2005.
The LP features hits such as ‘How We Do’, ‘Dreams’ and most notably ‘Hate It Or Love It’ which featured 50 Cent. The latter earned the rapper two Grammy nominations for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.
