Looks like some friendships don't last forever. MStars News has learned that the former co-stars of The Game, Hosea Chanchez and Pooch Hall,  have grown apart.

According to Madame Noire, Hosea, aka Malik Wright claims that the men have become distant since Hall's exit on the show.

The site revealed that there have been some ups and downs with both the fellas over the years, but from the looks of it, things haven't turn out for the better — instead, it has left Chanchez upset.

“I haven’t talked to Pooch; I haven’t talked to him. I would consider us to have been close at one point in time, but people change, you know. People change and things change,” he previously stated during an interview.

The men had an altercation back in 2013, and it seems that Hall had already ended their bromance.

“No, actually before whatever happened on social media, I hadn’t talked to Pooch since then. Like whatever Pooch was going through, whatever was happening in his situation, I hadn’t spoken to him at all, so I don’t even know. The only thing I knew was all this stuff kept coming up on social media, and I felt like at a certain point in time, it was no longer about him as a first person; it started to affect the rest of our jobs. It all started to affect the rest of us, and it was that inconsideration, or not being considerate of fellow thespians and fellow artists, for me, that a certain point in time, I was like, ‘OK, there’s just no respect here.’”

Chanchez feels like his former friend shouldn't have let the drama between BET and the show's producers get in the way of their relationship, both personally and while on camera.

“I don’t care what you and BET got going on, I don’t give a damn what you and the producers got going on, whatever your situation is didn’t stem from the rest of these artists that are still here. So have respect for the show, have respect for the people that built something with you. It ain’t all about you because you didn’t do sh*t by yourself. So at a certain point in time, you need to have more respect for the people that built something with you. Now I get that people have their issues with networks, producers, whatever. But at the same time, you have to come to a place where you’re like, ‘You know what? It’s not just me. It’s just not me.' And if you don’t do that, that means you’re not considering the other people, and when you don’t consider the other people, for me, that’s when I’m like, ‘OK, I’m not considering sh*t you got to say.’”

Hall wasn't the only person that didn't return for the final season. Faithful viewers of the show know that Tia Mowry-Hardrict is also missing. Tia, who played Melanie, starred as Hall's love interest, Derwin, on the show. Chanchez says, when it comes to both of them being gone, it was "their decision."

“I really don’t care, I don’t. I mean, you know, honestly, I’ve thought about this every year like, ‘OK, well are they going to come back?’ And then, at a certain point in time as an artist, as an actor, you’ve got to move on, and even with the producers, it’s like, ‘Well OK, you know what? Whatever you guys’ decision was, whatever their decisions were, that’s between them and you guys.’ I don’t want to really come to work all the time and have to deal with going backwards, you know?”

Since it's "Throwback Thursday," here's a blast from the past back at the first set of cast of The Game, which included Hall and Chanchez.
