During the production of ''Beg for Mercy'', [[Los Angeles]] rapper [[The Game (rapper)|The Game]] was discovered and placed into G-Unit by [[Dr. Dre]] and [[Jimmy Iovine]] of Interscope Records. Their plan was to market The Game as a devotee, or a loyal member of 50 Cent's "camp". Due to being placed late into G-Unit, The Game makes no appearances on ''Beg For Mercy''; however, he appears in the music videos for ''Wanna Get To Know You'' and ''Poppin' Them Thangs'' and was mentioned in the latter song. The Game made his first appearances as a member of G-Unit on Lloyd Banks' and Young Buck's debut albums, ''[[The Hunger for More]]'' and ''[[Straight Outta Cashville]]''. Throughout 2004, The Game began working on his debut studio album, which was set to be executive produced by 50 Cent and [[Dr. Dre]]. In November 2004, the album's second single, "[[How We Do (song)|How We Do]]" featuring 50 Cent became a top 5 hit, as did the album's third single, "[[Hate It or Love It]]", which peaked at No. 2 on the [[Billboard Hot 100]], being held back from the top spot by 50 Cent's single, "[[Candy Shop]]" featuring [[Olivia (singer)|Olivia]].

Beginning in 2005, tensions began to rise between 50 Cent and The Game. Shortly after the release of ''[[The Documentary]]'', tensions escalated into a full-scale feud which led to 50 Cent announcing that The Game had been kicked out of G-Unit, with 50 Cent saying he had not received full credit for writing six songs from ''The Documentary''.<ref name="MTV-The Game">Reid, Shaheem (February 28, 2005).

In 2007 while leaving a studio, Tony Yayo (one third of G-Unit), and his friend Lodi Mack saw [[Jimmy Henchman]]'s (The Game's manager) 14-year-old son. The two proceeded to assault the 14 year old which would lead to Lodi Mack's arrest.  He was sentenced to two years in Prison and in 2009 Jimmy Henchman hired a hitman to kill Lodi Mack. In 2017, Jimmy Henchman was found guilty of murder; he is now spending two life sentences in prison.<ref>{{Cite web|date=May 2, 2020|title=Jimmy Henchman Reportedly Loses Appeal In Lodi Mack Murder|url=https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.55722/title.jimmy-henchman-reportedly-loses-appeal-in-lodi-mack-murder|access-date=June 21, 2020|website=HipHopDX}}</ref>
