The Game also did an interview with TMZ Live providing more details about what was discussed at the meeting. “Once we got all of our opinions out and everybody spoke freely, and was allowed to do so, then we got back to the common goal which is saving each other’s lives,” he said in the interview.
The celebrities agreed to work both in the forefront and behind the scenes, and they will do what they can with their power and influence to help improve change. On Wednesday, athletes used their platform at the ESPYS to send a similar message.
