The Game Defends Wearing Conflict Diamonds
Posted July 7, 2008 
Rapper The Game is defending a controversial boast in the lyrics of his new song "Big Dreams." The Los Angeles-based entertainer brags about having "blood diamonds straight out of Angola" in the song, at a time when many celebrities are urging shoppers not to buy conflict gems.
But The Game insists all of Hip-Hop's biggest stars wear conflict diamonds, and he isn't about to pretend rap's big names are bothered about where their diamonds come from.
He says, "I know the negatives of what I said, but the truth is, we're all wearing blood diamonds, so it ain't just me.
"Do I feel the struggle in Africa? Yeah. Do I think people should be dying over diamonds? No. But it ain't like I'm the only cat around with a chain on."
