The Game, whose actual name is Jayceon Taylor, reportedly visited Houston’s, a pricey eatery with an established reputation for first-class service, for lunch. Sporting a pair of slacks and a tank top, the performer’s tattoos on his face, torso, and arms were reportedly in full view.
According to the 33-year-old rapper, the temperature at the time of the incident was 90 degrees, which was why he reportedly decided to wear a tank top. When the Game tried to get a table at Houston’s, he was allegedly denied service by the restaurant’s manager who then told him that the exposed body ink was a threat to his customers who were dining.
Upset with the snub, the Game took to Twitter to vent to his more than 1 million fans:
NEVER eating @ Houston’s restaurants as long as I live ! Denied service in Pasadena by mgr “Vy Diep” because: I have tattoos on my arms ?!?
Handsome a*s N****@thegame11 Aug
RTAccording to the Game, he had been racially profiled before at the same eatery chain but at another location.@VincentHJr@thegame that restaurant needs to be boycotted#DontEatAtHoustonsPasadena RT
Houston’s restaurant manager, Marvin Wells, claims, though, that the Game did not have sleeves so he violated their strict dress code.
