Hate it or love it, The Game says people gotta respect Anderson .Paak’s strong conviction to put the kibosh on any posthumous albums … so much so he got his dying wish tattooed on his arm. And, Game’s game as far as the sentiment goes … sort of.

We got the “Wouldn’t Get Far” rapper leaving Maxfield L.A. on Thursday and wondered if he’d seen .Paak’s tat. Not only has Game seen it … he LOVED it, adding he 100% agrees with .Paak’s stance. More on that in a bit.

But, ICYMI … .Paak posted on his Instagram Story a new tattoo on his forearm that read, “When I’m gone please don’t release any posthumous albums or songs with my name attached. Those were just demos and never intended to be heard by the public.”

Anderson’s rep confirmed the tat’s real … though it’s unclear if the text is included in .Paak’s will. Either way … .Paak’s crystal clear about how he wants his music treated after he’s gone.

The Game says you gotta respect the decision because you have to respect the artistry. Game says he gets it because he too doesn’t want his stuff out there when he’s gone because, as he put it, “people always f*** the vision up.”

It seems Game’s wishes are crystal clear … that is until the rapper caves and spits a list of producers he says he’d be okay with if they wanted to work on one of his posthumous albums.

Get ready, Puffy.
