  "account": "The Game recently revealed that there are multiple versions of the song \"No Brakes,\" which features a verse from Drake. During an interview on Real 92.3 LA's The Cruz Show, The Game was asked if Drake originally had a verse on the Documentary III single. The rapper replied, \"I don't know. Maybe,\" before suggesting he decided not to use Drake's verse for the sake of peace. The Game further explained that he may have removed the Drake verse because he didn't need it, stating that the song went through several versions, and some were not very good. He also mentioned that he altered the album to ensure the focus would be on music and less on drama. When asked if the decision was made \"to protect certain individuals,\" The Game responded, \"Maybe it was just to protect the West Coast as a whole. I think it was better to deliver an album full of music, with no beefs. I don't think I'm dissing anyone on the album.\" Since the release of The Documentary III, The Game has been addressing allegations that he dissed Kendrick Lamar and has been siding with Drake. He even addressed the claims in IG comments, denying that he dissed anyone on \"No Brakes.\"",
