The Game and Stitches are currently in the most ridiculous beef right now. Here’s quick background on Stitches. Born Phillip Katsabanis, the young MC is based out of Miami and became a rapper to watch after his “Brick In Yo Face” went viral in 2013. With Stitches’ larger-than-life persona and love for cocaine, many people were curious about who he really is. Before the 20-year-old rapper became Stitches he was Lil Phil and looked completely different (see gallery below).

Fast forward to today and Stitches is now making the news for the wrong reasons. He posted on Instagram a “Twitter conversation” he had with The Game in October (see above). Stitches also released a diss record titled “Game Over” aimed at Game and Tyga. The Game responded and said he never sent any messages to Stitches. “Any ni–a name that rhymes with bitches,” he said in the video. Stitches continued to take jabs at Game via social media. Game then dropped a freestyle on Power 106 L.A. during The Liftoff with Eric Dlux and Justin Credible and dissed the Miami rapper. “Run up on my car/You will die for nothing/Over my kids, boy/I ain’t bluffin’/I ain’t fuckin’ with you n—as/I ain’t fuckin’ with you bitches/ Wait ’til I catch up to that boy Stitches.”
All of this led up to the now infamous knockout punch that happen earlier this month. In Miami a few weeks ago, Stitches was angry with security at a night club when he wasn’t allowed in. Believing that Game was behind the incident, the Florida rapper waited outside the club for hours. He posted numerous videos on Instagram begging the rapper to come outside to fight. Things didn’t go as planned as Game’s manager, Wack 100,punched Stitches in the face and knocked him out cold. Stitches who was eventually arrested for resisting an officer without violence, marijuana possession and outstanding warrants.
This beef looks like it isn’t going to end anytime soon. Here’s the entire timeline.
