A Los Angeles judge has sentenced the rapper known as The Game to 60 days in jail for having a gun in a school zone.
The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, also was ordered to complete 150 hours of community service and three years probation after he pleaded no contest to the felony charge, TMZ.com said Monday.
The charge stems from a February 2007 incident in which Taylor allegedly pulled a gun and threatened a player from an opposing team during a pick-up basketball game at a school in South Los Angeles.
Taylor, 28, also had faced three felony counts for making criminal threats and exhibiting a firearm in the presence of a peace officer, but two counts were tossed out as part of his plea agreement, TMZ.com said.
The rapper must surrender by March 3 to begin his sentence.
