The Game Says Rick James Was Mistaken For Jesus

After all the controversy surrounding The Game's Jesus Piece album art, the outspoken rapper chalks up the chatter to one big misunderstanding. It is not a picture of gangster Jesus on the cover, Game recently explained, but "Super Freak" singer Rick James "in Jesus' clothes."
