While the 'California Vacation' spitter seemingly aims to have fun with the inquiry, the 'childish' question doesn't sit well with some Internet users who quickly blast him online.

AceShowbiz - The Game angered fans with his new post on Instagram. The "California Vacation" rapper landed in hot water after he posed a hypothetical question to his followers regarding incarcerated boyfriends.
On Monday, October 14, The Game wrote on Instagram Stories, "How long ya boyfriend gotta be in jail before you start cheating ??" While it seemed like it was an unserious inquiry, the question didn't sit well with some Internet users.
After the post was reshared by The Shade Room, one user wrote in an Instagram comment, "We don't date THUGS! Stop romanticize jails!" Another said, "The black men I know aren't going to jail. Our black men are educated, family oriented, hard working, law abiding citizens."
"how about get you a man who has common sense, composure & one who has never had a run in with the law ... alot of jail time can be avoided .... play stupid games , win stupid prizes," someone else echoed the sentiment. One person, on the other hand, said, "This is such a childish question to be posed by a full adult. SMH."
Some others, meanwhile, suggested that they would immediately leave their partner if they got in jail. "Soon as the cuffs hit yo wrist we done baby, you ain't even gotta worry about me cheating. you single baby," one wrote. Another penned, "Ain't no need to cheat. I would have left after the crime." Another user similarly commented, "as soon as he's sentenced, he's single and so am i."
The controversial question aside, The Game is currently preparing himself as a dad of four. He announced in an August 4 episode of "Tacos & Shawarma" podcast, "I'm expecting one child."
"I think about it in terms of, like, years. I'm 44, so when my new child is 21, I'll be 65, right? That seems kinda old until you start thinking about who's 65 now," he explained. "They gotta be almost, like, their next big birthday is probably 60. They're still out here looking young and cool, so it ain't that bad."
The confirmation came more than a month after it's revealed that Evelyn Lozada's daughter Shaniece Hairston was pregnant with his child. The Game, born Jayceon Terrell Taylor, is also a father to Cali and King, whom he shares with ex Tiffney Cambridge, as well as Harlem with ex Aleska Jordan.
