The Challenge Begins
In the latest installment of a provocative video series, rapper The Game approaches a young woman on the street, asking if she likes Balenciaga, as explained by Gary. The woman enthusiastically responds that she would do anything for a pair of Balenciaga shoes. In response, The Game challenges her to dig into a nearby trash can and eat the first edible item she finds. Without hesitation, the woman complies and digs through the trash, eventually discovering a liquid in a Starbucks cup, which she drinks. She then informs Gary of her actions.
A Controversial Agreement
Gary described the interaction as a “beautiful” agreement between The Game and the young woman, noting her willingness to do anything to get her hands on a pair of the high-end shoes. However, Maria More pointed out that what the woman did was not advisable. Gary, on the other hand, emphasized that while he would not have resorted to digging through a trash can for shoes, he would have been willing to walk around in a pair of thongs to own such a luxury item.
The Price of Luxury
The morning show later discussed the price range of Balenciaga shoes, agreeing that they are indeed expensive. More shared that she was not familiar with the label, mentioning that she usually shops at the clearance rack at TJ Maxx. Da Brat stepped in to explain, stating that Balenciaga is a high-end brand, similar to Gucci, with prices ranging from $800 to $3,000 for their shoes.
Criticism and Attention
Critics of the series have speculated that The Game might be using these controversial challenges to gain attention. However, Gary argued that, in this case, the woman walked away with a valuable pair of shoes, which made it a fair trade.
