Melyssa Ford on The Game's lyrics
Melyssa Ford felt heated at The Game coming at her video vixen/red carpet ways so she spoke out against his lyrics.

"November 21, 2006 -- MAYBE The Game can get away with insulting other women as slutty "bitches" - but not Melyssa Ford.
The beauty told Page Six she is "confused and saddened" by the song, "Never Get Far," in which the rapper lyricizes: "And all these new video bitches tryin' to be Melyssa Ford/But they don't know Melyssa Ford drive a Honda Accord."
"I am really confused and saddened that he decided to include my name on a record that disparages the characters of women who have worked hard in the industry to make successful careers for themselves," said Ford (who, in point of fact, does not drive a Honda Accord).
The song also says of Ford, a video model and TV personality: "She a video vixen, but behind closed doors/She do whatever it take to get to the Grammy Awards."
The Game - who was recently arrested in Midtown on charges of impersonating a police officer (he allegedly wanted his taxi driver to go through red lights) - also uses the number to accuse Gabriel Union ("Running With Scissors") and Meagan Good ("You Got Served") of sleeping with rappers in order to gain success.
In the track from his album "Doctor's Advocate," the misogynistic musician tells women in the music and movie industries, "You wouldn't get far if you kept your legs closed."
Ford is also hurt that Kanye West, a good friend of hers, performs with The Game on "Never Get Far." "I don't want to ride anyone's coattails towards fame," Ford told Page Six's Corynne Steindler. "That line . . . it's just horrible."
Ford started her career as a music video model, appearing in videos for Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. She's also slated to appear on one of the five covers celebrating King magazine's fifth anniversary and is currently "transitioning into the film world."
While she may be catching flack from The Game, Ford still enjoys the support of her wide fan base. "Nobody understands why I am on this record," she said. "I am the blueprint for this industry because I have respect for myself."
