The Game was arrested on Friday (October 28) when he was accused of causing a scene at a mall in North Carolina.
According to the Associated Press, during the rapper's visit to the Four Seasons Town Centre in N.C., he was asked to remove a mask, but refused while signing autographs for fans.
"I got arrested for signing autographs," The Game told television station, WFMY-TV after, he was released on $500 bail. "Signing a little girl's autograph got me arrested."
That wasn't the case, according to local authorities. Police said The Game and his entourage were behaving disruptively and swearing while visiting the mall.
When police arrived, he was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, after the rapper's entourage was sprayed with pepper spray when they surrounded officers in a threatening manner.
The Game felt police overreacted.
"They thought I was Rodney King, man. It was a case of mistaken identity," he told WFMY. "It's unfair, man. Their behavior's unfair."
