In response, Sony has pulled down the pages of more than a dozen artists including, Miguel, Adele, Hozier, Kelly Clarkson, Passion Pit, Leon Bridges and MS MR.

    The beef between The Game and Young Thug just went up another level. After Thugger responded with an Instagram video to the "How We Do" rapper, Game from the comfort of his own bed, recorded his own comeback.

Game also is not a fan of the word bae.
