After receiving a PlayStation 5 console as a birthday gift or following an investment in a virtual reality headset, many people dabble in gaming. For some of the planet’s most talented lyricists, they also explore gaming when they’re touring on the road.
When they aren’t in the studio or headlining a major festival, these much-loved rappers play a variety of popular gaming titles. In the same way we’re exploring Mario Kart Tour and immersing ourselves in Huff N’ Even More Puff Grand and other online slot games, some of the biggest stars in the rap game are always tackling similar gaming-related products. These lyrical masters have revealed it in interviews, while they’ve also appeared on live streams.
With a number of rappers turning to gaming, below we highlight some world-famous rappers who adore this beloved hobby and the gaming titles they tend to immerse themselves in.
The Game is a fan of the Madden franchise
For NFL fans, the Madden franchise of games is truly iconic. Whether it’s through Madden NFL 26 or a former favorite associated with the franchise, even some huge names from the rap space explore football-themed gaming experiences. In particular, The Game is a diehard fan of the Madden games, with the Compton-born star even being rated as one of the very best Madden players on the planet at one stage. His top ten finish came after he recorded a staggering 174 wins and 31 losses during his efforts in the online sphere. Overall, it’s fair to say The Game is one of the most talented gamers in the rap category.
Logic has a YouTube gaming channel
While he isn’t always the most active on the video-sharing platform, Logic has a YouTube gaming channel that has amassed millions of views. His dedication to gaming resulted in this passion project, with his fans being able to see Logic away from the mic as he tackles a variety of games in the same way he does. A rapper in the same mold as Eminem for some rap lovers, Logic’s foray into the world of content creation as a gamer highlights his adoration for a hobby he clearly enjoys.
Lil Yachty loves battle royale games
Lil Yachty has a huge community of diehard fans behind him, but not all of them are aware of his exploits in the gaming category. The 28-year-old star has appeared on a number of Twitch streams over the years, with his passion for playing games being evident from the outset. He has a particular penchant for battle royale products like Fortnite, while Lil Yachty also adores the Call of Duty franchise. A proud gamer in his own right, the American rapper and singer-songwriter loves to play video games.
Snoop Dogg streams on Twitch
Similar in many respects to Logic, Snoop Dogg’s busy schedule means he isn’t always live on Twitch, but he has a channel on there with a massive following. His 870,000 viewers watch the key figure in West Coast hip-hop play a variety of top-notch gaming releases, including EA Sports College Football 27 and EA Sports College Football 27. A likable personality who brings comical value to proceedings, watching Snoop Dogg play video games is always fun.
T-Pain has been streaming since 2016
T-Pain isn’t everyone’s cup of tea given his reliance on auto-tune, but there’s no denying just how popular he is. As such, he’s been able to branch out into other areas over the years, including the live streaming space. His live streams have amassed millions of views, all while the electronic-style vocalist plays titles like Call of Duty: Vanguard.
