The Game once criticized JAY-Z for rapping at 38.

“What DJ gon’ turn down the thirty-eight snub? / You 38 and you still rapping? Ughhh / I’m 26, n*gga, so is the dubs," Game spit on "It's Okay (One Blood)."

Then Game kept rapping until he was into his 40s.

Game has said he regretted calling Hov out since it ultimately made him a hypocrite.

Game turned 44 yesterday, and he got pretty emotional about it when speaking about his daughter.

We think Game may have said he's finally retired, but we'll believe that when he stops putting out albums.
