After pleading no contest to a felony gun charge of possession of a firearm in a school zone, The Game was sentenced to spend 60 days behind bars yesterday (Feb. 11).

As previously reported by, the Compton-bred MC opted to take a plea agreement rather than take his case to trial on the charges of making criminal threats, possessing a firearm in a school zone and exhibiting a firearm in the presence of an officer. The charges all resulted from an altercation during a pick up basketball game.

The rapper reveals in the premiere edition of hip-hop mag MONSTA that he believed he would have to do a four month bid in connection with the plea deal. But according to TMZ, the rapper was sentenced yesterday to only 60 days jail time, three years probation and 150 hours of community service. The rapper was charged for possession of a firearm in a school zone because the other two were dropped as part of the plea agreement.

The rapper said he was more than ready to face his punishment, having told MONSTA, "The crazy part about this is that I've had guns before in my life," he explained. "But this time I didn't have a gun. And because one person said I had a gun and coaxed his homies into saying that I had a gun, I'm in a predicament where I'm asking, do I want to spend another million dollars to fight this trial so who knows what jury's gonna come in and say I'm guilty? Or do I want to save my money, go sit down for four months and accept this felony they're trying to give me for no reason?"

Game now has until March 3 to turn himself in for his sentence. According to the Los Angeles Times he is expected to go in as early as next week.
