The legendary controversial rapper Daylyt tweeted: 1 day prior I said to u, Some energies u should leave alone. We are in spooky times. Those people play different at that level. U replied: U right Day And I wake up to seeing u gone! Man this tuff… Rip pat! Your name is stamped on earth.”

On August 12 The Game's diss track “Black Slim Shady” targeting Eminem was not well received by fans or critics—for its lack of originality and poor delivery.

In response to Game's diss track, the battle rapper released his own song titled “Warm up,” in which he challenged The Game.

The battle rap legend shared his diss track on his Instagram page: “Pat Stay feat. Kaleb Simmonds – “Warm up”

“I've had this in the chamber for a good minute now ready to fire if Game got brave. Clearly he don't want smoke. But this goes too hard to keep from yall so here it is. Tag Eminem 50 Cent AND EVERY OTHER RAPPER AND MEDIA OUTLET YOU WANT!”

“Oh, and Game (cant tag you since you blocked me lol)……I stepped into your world so wassup? It's all love for the sport, right?!? Let's see if you're really bout this rap shIt.”
