Juve Rather Kick It Than Attend Baby’s Funeral?
Posted by Bossip Staff
Juvenile did not attend the funeral of his 4 year-old daughter, but now there are reports that he was out performing as well as kicking it in Augusta, GA. That’s a damn shame, even if there is a good explanation. SMH.

I heard about this SMDH…..1ST
His baby was killed by her older brother, she also killed his sister and the mother…..
I also heard about this old news. sorry excuse for a man.
get this, his exucse was that he doesnt want the media over at the funeral with the attention on him.
negro please!! no media cares about your insignificant azz. they was just reporting about a lost that you clearly have no concern for!!
Dirty *****hole…and I don’t want to hear ***** about ‘oh, people grieve in different ways’…this is so sad. He should have been there. No one WANTS to go to a funeral, but you go out of respect. Oooooh, this *****es me off….
I guesss he was “too devastated” to attend his daughter’s funeral. Maybe he was too stressed out. Maybe, he needed to celebrate that he doesn’t have to pay child support anymore!!
you an azz ha!
your daughter getting buried and you partying up in Augusta ha!!
after this all done you will remain irrelevant ha!!
I think that he has the right not to go his child funeral..if he don’t want to! YOU *****up kill me! YOU never know the inside scoop, or *****..you just put up a picture, and say a few lines that are *****ering on the edge of the truth! Maybe, he couldn’t handle it, and performing, and being with friends is the only way that he can get over his grief! I didn’t go to my father’s funeral..does that make me a bad person! matter of fact..HONESTLY i never been to his grave! That still doesn’t change what I feel for him on the inside! YOU people need to get a life!
No surprise here. He fought and fought to make sure he didn’t have to pay much child support (if any) and now that she’s dead, he probably feels like there’s a load off. Jerk!
who does this negro think he is that the media would be focused on him…your daughter was tragically murdered by her brother and your partying…he did nothing for her in life the least he could have done is attend the baby’s funeral…sorry excuse for a man…
Whats the obessesion about getting the first post? If you really are that lame that getting a post in a blog is important to you end yourself.
Whats the obessesion about getting the first post? If you really are that lame that getting a post in a blog is important to you end yourself please.
Now he will have to live with the fact that he did not see his baby or his baby’s mother at the funeral…..I would hate to be his conscience (spell check)
maybe..but you never know his personal reasons for not attending his child funeral! From the outside looking in..he looks selfish, but he probably had his reasons!
AND TO THINK I WAS ON HIS SIDE WHEN EVRYBODY WAS TALKIN SH*T ABOUT HIM… DET IS A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A MAN PROLY AINT HELP PAY FOR THE FUNERAL EITHR USUAL EVEN WHEN A FATHER AINT WITH THE BABY MAMA AND HAD DIFFERENCES THEY STILL ATTEND FUNERAL.. HE JUST STUPID NO EXPLANATION WILL GET HIM OUT OF THIS..AND IT REALLY MAKES IT WORST DET HE DIDNT PAY CHILD SUPPORT BUT HE WAS SO UPSET WHEN IT HAPPENED AND STILL DIDNT HELP FOR ARRANGEMENTS..SMDH AT JUVE
JorgeOoOo……if u came to talk about that then leave or STFU…..Its a Bossip thing so calm down….*****ody wants to argue with you…lol
IF ME AND MY CHILD DIED I WOULD WANT MY CHILDS FATHER THERE AND IF HE DIDNT SHOW UP ILL HAUNT HIS A** FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE>>>>>>
I didnt come to argue I just see every one on here and tmz and all the other websites doing it. Hell even on foxsports comments they do it. Is it really that important to have the first post? Do you sit around and wait for them to post a story to be the first one to put a comment up? Maybe they should delete these first comments…..
I WAS ONLY FIRST BOUT ONCE OR TWICE HA HA… I GET ON HERE TOO LATE
JORGE CHILL OUT … IT AINT DET SERIOUS PEOPLE JUST BE PLAYIN R U MAD DET YU DONT B FIRRST
What an *****hole.
I have to agree with this which was already posted.
“Dirty *****hole…and I don’t want to hear ***** about ‘oh, people grieve in different ways’…this is so sad. He should have been there. No one WANTS to go to a funeral, but you go out of respect. Oooooh, this *****es me off….”
Does anyone know if he was taking care of this child? Apparently not, if he didn’t attend the funeral. Its sad because I may be wrong, but the way I am interpreting this situation is he had no emotional tie to HIS child, therefore making it easy not to attend her funeral. Sad….
Thats really sad… especially if mr. “i’d get too much media attention” didn’t even pay for his daughters funeral. i can’t respect a man who isn’t there for his child in life, and even less when they don’t even bother to pay their respects when the child dies… he needed to cancel them plans he had or at least be at home in quiet reflection out of the spotlight so he could grieve alone… NO EXCUSES
@ JorgeOoOo_ No its not that serious, you’re looking way to hard into this, just chillax…lol…Maybe you should be looking that hard into something else……try that…..
There is no excuse to not go to your own daughter’s funeral. I don’t care famouse you are, this is the one time it wasn’t about him but choose to make it about himself therefore causing much more media to focus on him.
There is no excuse… He’s never gonna make a hit again is the flipside though… Hope he knows that
Dag, I don’t have enough reason to call him triflin’, but what excuse is there NOT to attend your own flesh and bloods funeral?
SMFH..
There is a excuse! HIS excuse! If he didn’t want to see her like that..then that is a GOOD EXCUSE!
That is his decision, and everybody isn’t ALIKE!
“IF it was my daughter, IF it was my…” that is you, and this is HIM!
I don’t know what he was doing or why he wasn’t there. But there are people who don’t like to attend funerals — even if it’s their child, cousin, mother or uncle. This is probably rare but there are those who prefer to remember the person alive; blah blah blah.
http://www.theblackactor.com
Yo, he didn’t even see her or take care of her in life. Dude is a deadbeat dad, so for him to go to her funeral would have looked suspect -
@RE I HAD ALSO A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE IN 1990 I MOVED TO GERMANY I DID’NT HAVE NO MONEY AND THE FIRST WEEK I FOUNT A BULL***** SECURITY GUARD JOB MY GRANDMA PASTAWAY AND I DID’NT HAVE NO MONEY FOR A AIRLINE TICKET.SO I COULD’NT ATTEND BUT STILL TODAY I AM LOOKED UPON AS THE BAD SEED.
AS FOR JUVI MAYBE HE NEVER EVEN CARED ABOUT HIS SEED SO WHY SHOWUP WHEN SHE IS DEAD.
SMDH!! I knew it!! We have to do better balck people!! This is so sad on so many levels!!
You cant judge him because you dont know the situation. His daughter lived with her mother in Atlanta (my city!) and he lives somewhere else. You dont know if he had any influence in the little girls life. You dont know if he ever came around. You dont know if the mother (RIP) was a one night stand type of chick and a baby came from it. You dont know the situation. Maybe he is dealing with his daughters death in his own way. Maybe he felt like attending the funeral would put the spot light on him and not on the resting souls. (All 3 of them) The bottom line is…YOU DONT KNOW, SO STOP JUDGING HIM…HIS DAY WILL COME…JUST LIKE ALL OF YOURS..GET YOURSELFS RIGHT AND STOP JUDGING OTHERS.
@ JorgeOoOo…
With regards to the whole 1st thing, it’s just part of bloggin’. What would you say to someone that asks you the relevance of you being on Bossip posting seemingly irrelevant comments on seemingly irrelevant stories?
I don’t know how true but it’s said on other web sites that he didn’t want the media attention that would ensue if he would’ve went.
Me?
I wouldn’t let the media run my life…
Even if he didn’t want to go and even if he had NO affection for her, but as an artist in the spotlight, he should have known that this was a public relations mistake. He would have done better to just stay at home. If he is out partying, it does look callous.
I do understand that everyone deals with grief in their own way, but out partying and drinking does look suspect.
@ Kity Luv….Regarding the mother, she was very influential in her town, she was a police officer so she couldn’t have been a bad person………….The point is , thats is YOUR SEED THAT IS GONE….What kind of excuse is there for him? I’m not judging I’m just wondering WHY?? Its so sad….
@ KISTY LUV…
I feel all that you said, but irregardless of whether the child was conceived from a one night stand, his influence, or lack thereof, on the child, whether he came around or not, the spotlight on him!?!? (that one is questionable)…but irregardless of all that, you do it out of RESPECT.
Like my mom would say “he’s lower than snake belly”. You can’t get any lower than under something that slides on the ground. That right there speaks volume. Now I begin to question his involvement in her life if any. Just sad.
He’s an IGNANT *****! LOSER
@ PIMP DADDY…
At least you can point to mitigating cir*****stances that prevented you from attending. But this cat was out getting his party on!
And like I said before, whether you cared or not you do it out of RESPECT cause that is STILL your child!
What I meant by the spotlight being on him is that if he attends a funeral people would pay more attention to him (him being a celebrity)…I really dont know. All I’m saying is we dont know the situation. It really messed up that Bossip as found a way to make a bad person out of a father who just lost his child (4 years old). This story should not even be posted. Let him deal with his loss in private. If he chooses to party it up on the night of the funeral, thats him. It doesnt take away from the fact that he still suffered a loss. So let the man grieve how he chooses. How many people here have lost a CHILD. It would be hard for me to see my child in a casket. Granted, I would still go, people are different.
@Ms. Sugar Walls- I think you’re trying to have a debate with someone over this situation when the truth of the matter is is that HE IS WRONG!!!! point, blank, period!… it’s understandable if he didn’t want to see his daughter like that.. but if that was the case, why didn’t he take his ***** home?
honestly the ***** is disrespectful and he should get scrutinized for it!
@ Ms Sugar Walls
plenty of ppl can’t attend funerals due to inner conflict. it’s hard to bury our loved ones and some folks don’t cope with death as well as others. but I don’t think it was respectful for him to be out in the “party” atmosphere. he should have respectfully laid in the cut until the proper amount of time has p*****ed. even if he wasn’t close with the baby girl or the mother, he should have shown them that respect after their tragic deaths.
As much as i hate going to funeral, i will go to my loved ones funeral! I mean, it is about respect. It is about being with them for their last trip. It is about accepting the fact that they are gone and now back to our life but we will never forget them!
My father did not want my sisters and I to go to the funeral of my grandfather and you know, i still don’t really realized that is not with us anymore! I mean, I dream of him sometimes, i feel guilty for real! I mean, come on, as a christian, the death is something sacrement (i don’t know if we can say that in english)
see…feelin’ sorry for the dude and he out and about…maybe he was takin’ the pain in a different way…
hell i dont know all in all the sh** is pittiful that he didnt even attend the occasion..
You don’t want the media attention, but you then turn around and go out partying which caused media attention anyway?
Come on. I sure hope this is some made up story and someone just picked an old picture and made a story out of it.
Yeah I’m not suprised I remember hearing in Atl. that he was denying paternity so he probably paid cause he had to but had no relationship with the child. What a shame, RIP the entire family.
@KISTY LUV- “…It really messed up that Bossip as found a way to make a bad person out of a father who just lost his child (4 years old). This story should not even be posted. Let him deal with his loss in private…”
_____________________________________________________
1)If bossip didn’t post it someone else would’ve….. it’s blog… what do you expect?
2) Juvenile made his self look bad by not attending his daughter’s funeral!….
3) SMH…. he was grieving alright…. i bet he got a couple of hoes that night to help him through this terrible moment…..smh…..
What a NI$$A…his plight to deter the media from this story had just backfired. Hopefully white America will ignore this disgrace of a man because worst than this is the fact that he has validated everything the world sees black men/fathers as…Animalistic Cold-Hearted Money-Hungry Creatures….and we wonder why they clutch their purses around us!!! THANKS ALOT JUVI—YOU’VE MADE YOUR PEOPLE PROUD!!!(*****)
@ KISTY LUV…
You really are giving this cat more credit than he deserves, he is not that high profile of a celebrity where he’s going to be inundated w/ photographers at his child’s funeral. And you seemingly contradict yourself because you say, “Let him deal with his loss in private.” But then you note that he chose to party it up, in public, on the night of the funeral. How is this dealing w/ his loss in private?
And while it may be hard to see your child in a casket, you don’t think it’ll be harder NOT seeing your child that one last time?
I would understand your point of view if he stayed to himself on the night of the funeral, but to be out performing and partying?!?!?
@Anonymous I totally agree with you. RIP to the lives that were lost.
@Sugar Walls, hey, like I said, I don’t know his reasoning so I couldn’t make a statement, but from the outside looking in, it looks pretty bad, that’s all.
@Pimp Daddy
Damn, that sounds awful. I hear you though, sometimes you just can’t help the situation. But this guy has got money, so I’m gonna rule that one out. The situation is so serious I can’t even try to speculate, there’s gotta be a reason for this. I actually like him, and when you hear him speak, he’s definitely not stupid.
Mother*****ers, are trying to defend this trifling ***** dude. He’s a man. As a man I hold men accountable for providing strength and support at all times. My first child is on his/her way by August. I couldn’t imagine looking myself in the mirror if I could not be there for that child in ANY situation. Matter of a fact I’ve raised my ex’s child since he was six months (I was 19), and that little ***** is 8 years old now, and rest *****ured he know that his daddy is still there for him no matter what. Let alone if something tragic was to happen, but even if he broke his *****ing ankle my ***** would be up and out of this office so *****ing quick and sitting at the hospital with him it wouldn’t make sense. I don’t give excuses or even try to understand these no-good, lame, off-brand-*****-*****s that walk around and call themselves men but can’t hold it down for the women and children in their lives. ***** that…man the ***** up.
@Circa, CONGRATS already, that’s a blessing.
@ Re
Thank you, babe. It sure is.
he ugly ***** hell in this pic!
^^ whatever! People always talking *****, and don’t know what really is going on CIRA…..
YOU don’t know if he is triffling, or not!
How can you judge him for his inner actions?? People always talking *****, and don’t know their ***** for a whole in the ground~
AND EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT!
If he was a woman I could understand. But as a man – no respect.
@Ms. Sugar Walls- You and Juvenile must be related cause you getting a little defensive…. yea judging is wrong but seriously…. he should have took his ***** to the damn funeral instead of going to the damn club!..
Everybody is different but 1 thing men have in common is we are suppose to be the epitomy of resilience, power, and strength. So if a ***** tell me that he is different from that, I’a tell em’ I’a buy em’ a new skirt to match those panties.

((agreeing))
is it just me or am i the only one who thinks his golds look a little may i say…umm..tarnished…a wee bit more on the copper gold side…
crest whitening strips will hook that right up playa…
@ Ms Sugar Walls
I think most people commenting on this site understand that everyone IS different. The problem I have with Juvie is that he allowed himself to appear cr***** and insensitive by being in the media spotlight during such a tragedy. I agree, we (observers) don’t know the cir*****stances behind his relationship with the little girl, but regardless, she was still his child and he should have done better by her. No matter what he said, there’s no justifying his actions.
notasitseems, I agree with you. By the way, do you have a profile at
++interracialresources.com++ that is a niche interracial dating site for single ? Did you check Britney’s hot video there? lol. really sexy with bikini. I’m her big fan. love her forever
@ MS. NYTX…
“is it just me or am i the only one who thinks his golds look a little may i say…umm..tarnished…a wee bit more on the copper gold side…”
He got those budget, flea market gold ‘color-ish’ caps. He tryna work his way up to the full fledged gold joints…maybe that was the reason he was out performing, he ain’t wanna miss a payment on the laid-away caps. SMDH!!
@Intuitive pisces
The second line in your sentence is VERY insightful, I couldn’t even agree more.
@Intuitive pisces
The second line in your sentence is VERY insightful, I couldn’t even agree more.
OK..His gold does look a little tarnished!
1) they are not real golds
2) He doesn’t Use twinkle/gold rag
Which means that he doesn’t brush his teeth, or the golds!
OK!
I am not the one to judge! I didn’t attend my father’s funeral..So I can’t judge him! All I know is that I had my personal reasons! I can’t really compare myself to him! My father was older..We had that understanding.
whats good lauren
@ Re, thanx.
@ Ms Sugar Walls
I’m with you on that too. I don’t want to judge anyone cuz I don’t wanna be judged. I just don’t agree with the way he handled himself in this situation. And to reiterate what someone else posted…RIP to the daughters and the mother who lost their lives to senseless violence.
@ NotoriousOne
LMAO
We are so quick to judge a book by it cover. Some people handle death differently!
WOW..nothing interesting on bossip this evening…i feel like checking my my*****e messages…it just seems like fun right now…lol
@ My Business
________________
yea, thats what i said earlier…whos to say..only he knows how to deal..
I don’t care how you cut it, unless he was dying or close to dying, there is no excuse for him to miss his daughter’s funeral.
That might be sadder than Juanita getting back together with that fool of hers…Damn what kind of man are you Juvee?
MS. NYTX…
“nothing interesting on bossip this evening…i feel like checking my my*****e messages…”
Well let US know if you got anything interesting on MS…we’d like to be entertained too! LOL
@ T_ How are u?
That’s *****ed up!
What a piece of *****. Don’t people know you’ll have to answer to God one day for all your actions. What can you say to God to justify this?
“Oh Umm…well um…see what had happened was…ummm”
*Cue trap door to hell*
I don’t understand him not going to the funeral. A funeral isn’t about you and what you can handle, its about paying respect to the deceased. But let’s give him that, he couldn’t handle it. Then sit your ***** down somewhere and grieve and pay respects in private, not out at a damn club entertaining people and performing. This is bull*****, there is no excuse.
What a shame. At least she’s in a better place now.
How can you NOT got to your baby girl funeral. Thats sad.
he cant come to terms that she is gone. so he is gonna get drunk and high so that it leaves his mind. little does he know that one day he will wish he said goodbye to her one last time. even though it doesnt show, he is depressed. and he is supressing his feelings. many people do some weird stuff after a loved one dies.
who do a SHOW if youre avoiding media attention?
***** Juve. He gotta live with that ***** on his head forever. Go drink some lean, *****..
Hick.
This is really sad. I know of people that can’t bare to go to funerals. My mother is one of them, but when my cousin died her only nephew. She stood in the back of the funeral home by the door and didn’t say one word to anyone. We all knew how hard it was for my mother to be there because the last funeral she was at was her mother’s when she was 13, but she still showed up to say goodbye to her nephew. I am a parent myself and lord knows I would hate to see and/or remember my child that way, but that is my child I brought her here and I will send her back to god know matter how hard it is for me to bare. That is what you call sacrificing. You sacrifice your happiness, your wants, your needs, your whatever for your childs well being. There is know excuse for a parent to not attend their childs funeral unless you are locked up, bedridden, or dead. There is NO excuse for this. None except he didn’t care at all! So sad, God bless that baby’s soul.
Ok, so even if he hates funerals and can’t stand to go to them, he shouldn’t have went out to a party.
Whatever. He should have saved partying for the 2nd line.
@Ms. Sugar Walls- You and Juvenile must be related cause you getting a little defensive…. yea judging is wrong but seriously…. he should have took his ***** to the damn funeral instead of going to the damn club!..
—————————————————
My aunt died and my cousin was so upset that she didn’t go to the church for the service. She did show up for the burial and stayed in her car while her son said his goodbyes.
What has upset folk is that he was out partying. You don’t do that especially when a murder happened. If I’m the cops I mighthave to ask a few questions-did that boy act alone or was he motivated by someone to do that.
He should have just stayed at home out of public view. And he is not that big of a star that the media would bother to be there. What magazine is going to cover this beyond one line. Pimp C didn’t even get that much atention nor did Ozzie Davis. He’s not Bil Cosby, Will Smith or Michael Jordan. He is a rapper that hasn’t done anything in years.
Juvie actually looked like he was out celebrating.
EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED JUVE
EXTREMELY!!
Why SHOULD a man who didn’t spend anytime with his daughter in LIFE come to her funeral? That makes absolutely no sense. I am sure that he’s just glad that burdon is gone. Sounds bad, but the truth is the truth.
The whole situation is messed up and *****ody deserves to be judged or talked about during a time like this! Your brother killed your daughter and baby moma! Damn that’s a blow to anyone! Leave the damn man alone what’s the difference if he went after the funeral to perform life goes on and that’s the bottom line!
when you lose a life its nothing you can do to change that!
@ Smookie
Great point. So *****ing true and sad as hell.
@ smookie
cute pic too!
I respect the fact he did what makes him feel better! He has suffered enough and who knows he could be suicidal and going to his daughters funeral would have sent him over the top!
we don’t know the story behind his pain some people just can’t atke funerals and showing his last respects maybe to him when he saw her alive!
hes selfish. period
@ I’m Chocolate:
The problem is not that he performed live it it that he didn’t go to his child’s funeral. That is a problem since you had people speaking out on how horrific you felt.
He should have showed his face. Respect your daughter and her mother.
He could have went to the show after ward.w
What and ***** Munch!
I don’t hate him, I just hope he never breeds again.
Just Sayin…
What an ***** Munch!
I don’t hate him, I just hope he never breeds again.
Just Sayin…
:-/
this isn’t surprising. unfortunately he’s a prime example of one of these sorry men who’s out there to hit it; get it and then forget it. that snaggle toof donkey kong will get his.
@ Im Just me,
I understand your point very well but being that I have a master’s in psychology I deal with alot people’s problems, and one of the main reasons why certain people don’t attend something so important like this is THEY ARE STILL IN DENIAL AND HAS NOT YET ACCEPTED WHAT HAPPEN TO THEM TO HIM IT’S BIG DREAM! AND PARTYING JUSTIFIES WHAT I JUST SAID!
aND another reason why people selct not to attend funerals is becuase the pain of the initial incident controls the reality of thier thoughts meaning the pain is so extreme that the brain doens’t get the signal hey you gotta do something it’s almost the same as being brain dead or a vegetable!
ALL IM SAYING IS WE ARE TOO QUICK TO POINT THE JUDGE WHEN YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MAY HAVE TO WALK THAT ROAD!
*****HOLE
When my auntie p*****ed, I went to the funeral then 2 months later MY DAD P*****ed I went to the funeral,1 month later my unlce p*****ed which was my dad’s brother IDIDNOT ATTEND MY UNCLES FUNERAL I WANTED TO BUT I WASN’T EVEN HEALED FROM MY DAD P*****ING CUZ SEEING HIM REMINDS ME OF MY DAD AND I DON’T WANNA FACE THAT PAIN AGAIN SOO SOON and relive those crying nights I was just starting to live again!
IN his case he had two or three losses at one time no room for air or healing! Didn’t his brother kill himself after he killed them?
Mahogany
I don’t know how true but it’s said on other web sites that he didn’t want the media attention that would ensue if he would’ve went.
Me?
I wouldn’t let the media run my life…

Thank you! I don’t know why Juve thinks that the media attention would be on him…ain’t *****ody thinking about his bubble-lipped *****.
@ Smokie…
“Why SHOULD a man who didn’t spend anytime with his daughter in LIFE come to her funeral?”
Out of RESPECT! And maybe I’m ol’ skewl because of that, but at the end of the day regardless of what happened in the past, this is a situation where all that ish goes out the window and you show that RESPECT!
Ms Sugar Walls
You are really sensitive about this topic. I’m wondering if you are feeling a little guilty about not going to your dad’s funeral. Anyway, this man didn’t take care for the child in life and I have a horrible feeling he is happy the child is dead. Why else would he be partying on the day of her funeral? Her whole immediate family was gone and couldn’t be there for her. You don’t have to make excuses for him. He’s a deadbeat and that apparently has nothing to do with your situation.
Mother*****ers, are trying to defend this trifling ***** dude. He’s a man. As a man I hold men accountable for providing strength and support at all times. My first child is on his/her way by August. I couldn’t imagine looking myself in the mirror if I could not be there for that child in ANY situation.

Let alone if something tragic was to happen, but even if he broke his *****ing ankle my ***** would be up and out of this office so *****ing quick and sitting at the hospital with him it wouldn’t make sense. I don’t give excuses or even try to understand these no-good, lame, off-brand-*****-*****s that walk around and call themselves men but can’t hold it down for the women and children in their lives. ***** that…man the ***** up.

It’s an epidemic. Nothing but Deadbeats in this world. My daddy left me too and i’ve never been the same.
KARMA IS A *****…….NUFF SAID!! HE WILL GET WHAT IS DESTINED FOR HIM…WONDER WHY HE HASN’T BEEN AROUND TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT THIS SAD SITUATION!! SMDH!! SO SAD!!
yall dont know wat really going on he probably dont wanna she her in a casket and probably dont want the media to be in his face! he may feel like its her funeral not his time to shine in her light of God! Damn i heard he went to a concert the day after he found out she was kill maybe thats he way of sayin his goodbyes and not tryin be stress out about it!

Even if he didn’t have a relationship with her I say he should have went to the funeral. His wife should have encouraged him to go. There is no excuse for this. This type of disregard for our children in the black community is pathetic. We have the highest rates of… EVERYTHING because we don’t care enough to do the right things.
i hear there was a private ceremony that the immediate family in Georgia attended before the service in Carolina.
notasitseems, I agree with you. By the way, do you have a profile at
++interracialresources.com ++that is a niche interracial dating site? Did you check Britney’s hot video there? lol. really sexy with bikini. I’m her big fan. love her forever
you a paper chaser
you got this blog on fire
you cant handle your biz
cause your daughter just expired
you dont know what it is
to support her death, cant handle your biz
hope you crying and frontin!!
Hey look everybody!! i’m a rapper!!
wow, talk about a dead beat dad. there is no excuse for missing out on your child’s life and death. terrible.
*****ing dead@ Jahpson!! Bwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwhaaaaaaaaa!!!
He’s a mess i took up for this sorry ***** sukka.his daughter got more media attention then this fool ever had.out of respect for his child he should have been there.and to the guy that said he didn’t go to his fathers funeral that’s diffrent your supposed to burry your parents so you knew one day he was going to die before you.But to burry a child out or respect of being a damn parent he should have taken his ***** there.not rapping on stage nor hitting up the club.That was not in good taste but what could we expect not like he’s making his money building rockets or some *****.he just a rapper so there are all forms of *****hole
Why are people so quick to judge another person, when we don’t know ***** about what happened…Just he say she say. My Grandfather died, and I didn’t go to his furneal..some people just can’t deal with things like that. GET A LIFE PEOPLE>
This is why you shouldn’t have children by men who don’t give a ***** about you, regardless of their celebrity status.
SMH NOW GRAND DADDY DIED SAME AS LOSING A PARENT YOU KNOW EVENTUALLY YOU WILL HAVE TO BURRY THEM .HIS CHILD DIED HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE CUT AND DRY NOT ON SOME FUC*ING STAGE RAPPING.OR SHAKING HIS ***** IN THE CLUB WTF THERE WILL NEVER BE ANY EXCUSE FOR THIS SORRY ***** ***** AND IF THERE WAS EVER A TIME TO CALL A ***** A NI&&A NOW IS THE TIME FUC* HIM .TAKE UP FOR THAT ***** IF YA WANNA STILL NO EXCUSE TO MISS YOUR SEEDS FUNERAL.
He’s just a deadbeat dad who didn’t take the time out for his child when she was alive just because he paid court chile support don’t mean NADAH!!!! MONEY CAN’T COMPENSATE FOR YOUR TIME!!!! and that’s a shame and his exucuse was that he didn’t wanna take the spotlight from the family WHATEVER!!!!!!!
YouR not all that popular dude you had your last chance to show that mother and your child some respect and once again you proved how disappointing you can be. I thought you were a cool dude cause I had an opportunity to meetyou in the Town some years back and thought you had some cl***** I see that you don’T.
Once angin all yall ***** talkin motherf*#hers on hear talkin all that dum *****. He should have did this, he should have did that. Until that little girls granmother, uncle, or anut from her mother side of the family come out and says somethin bout it try keepin your mouths closed. Maybe he went to the wake, could stand seein his child and her mother in a casket, talked to her family about it and got the approval from them not to be there. I know mothers who’ve taken care of thier kids until they were grown, married, and moved on. Love thier kids more then they loved thier own life, and didn’t go to their childs funeral simply because they wanted toremeber their child the way they were the last time they seen them. Not in a casket. Does that make them bad mothers?
Piece of ***** that’s all I have to say, nothing can explain this nonsense
The ***** could party bc he ain’t have a relationship with his daughter…He’ll deal with this, God don’t sleep it’s going to come back and haunt him I promise u that.
There’s always two sides to a story….Until I hear from Juve there’s no point in discussing it.
HOLD ON JUST A SECOND EVERYBODY, ALTHOUGH I DO AGREE MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME INSTEAD OF DOING THE CONCERT THAT NIGHT, BUT HE DID ATTEND HIS DAUGHTERS FUNERAL, I LIVE IN BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA, RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO NEW ORLEANS HIS HOME TOWN. HER FUNERAL WAS EARLY IN THE MORNING, I REMEMBER BECAUSE THE ***** WAS ALL OVER THE NEWS AND THEY SHOWED LITTLE SNIPPETS OF THE FUNERAL PROCESSION AND HE WAS IN FACT THERE. I LOVE BOSSIP BUT THEY SHOULD GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT. THE ONLY REASON WHY HE PROBABLY DID THE CONCERT THAT NIGHT WAS JUST TO GET AWAY FROM ALL THE HEART ACHE AT THAT TIME. HE WAS THERE AND HE HAD ALOT OF SUPPORTERS FROM ALL OVER LOUSISANA THERE TO SUPPORT HIM, I COULDN’T MAKE IT…….HAD TO WORK….LOL. GIVE JUVE A BREAK!
FURTHERMORE, WHY DIDN’T ANYONE BASH KANYE FOR DOING A SHOW A FEW DAYS AFTER HIS MOM P*****ED, WHAT IS WAS TWO DAYS, SO LETS NOT JUDGE JUVE JUST CAUSE HE ISN’T A A LIST CELEBRITY, ***** KANYE AIN’T EVEN A A LIST CELEBRITY, HE STILL GETS DENIED ACCESS TO CERTAIN EVENTS.
circa-81 aint neva lied…
Why am I NOT surprised???????????????
The really sad part is that–in a coupla months his sorry *****’ll make a record pouring his heart and soul out and mu*****kas will eat that sh*t up!
If all reports of this story is true–I’m soooo disappointed!!!! I know people grieve in different ways but DAMN–she was only four years old!!!!!!!! I even give my people time off (with pay) for bereavement!!!!
I can’t judge him but I’m glad at least that I was married to a man with some kind of dignity to realize that, although we didn’t make it as a team, he’s still involved in our children’s lives.
SMMFH in digust!!!!!!

Maybe because Kanye did it AFTER the funeral, not during…
@ Danielle
If I’m not mistaken, the funeral garnered some airtime here, like 2 seconds, with NO mention of Juvenile only the tragic cir*****stances, but what I thought was interesting was that they were buried in South Carolina and not in Georgia where they were from. Maybe you were talking about another funeral.
itz real funny how EASY it be to point tha finga wen u aint got ***** goin in ya life…But i do believe the article said (on tmz thx) Juve dint go to tha funeral bcuz he knew tha media would follow him & create a circus…HE dint wanna take away from tha funeral..but guess Attention w*****z don’t undastand that concept…puttn othaz b4 yaselves. smmfh
& God Bless You@ Tuttuttutty…itz 2008 no one know wtf privacy meanz except u & a few othaz…
he’s so stupid to not go to his daughter’s funeral.
First of all,LMFAO at Juve thinking the media’s gonna pounce on the funeral, yeah right. The local newspaper and MAYBE a cross-eyed photographer…SMH “back that ***** up” was about 8 or so years ago. The paparazzi have bigger fish to fry.
It may seem cold hearted of him, but to our knowledge he wasn’t there for her when she was alive, so why bother.
Okay, so he didn’t want to draw attention to his daughter’s funeral, which is bull ***** if you ask me. Other stars bigger than him go to funerals. But then he’s out clubbing and performing. No, show some respect for the dead, and especially since its your baby. a lot of people nowadays say let people grieve how they want to grieve. Its disrespectful to not have a mourning period.
LOSER!!
a typicl triflin’ negro
@ Sexy momma…
“My Grandfather died, and I didn’t go to his furneal..some people just can’t deal with things like that.”
You didn’t go to his funeral but I’m sure out of RESPECT you weren’t at the club or at a concert having a good a*s time. It’s all about RESPECT, whether he had a relationship w/ her or not or if he did or didn’t get along w/ the mother, this is something that transcends ALL that and you as a human should show respect.
interesting
oh come on….some people dont know how to deal with tragedy, maybe he is indenial…yall need to leave him alone..
He looks like he bit into a turd…
Anyhoodles…It sounds crazy for him to not go to the funeral, and on top of all that, do a concert instead of going…but maybe that was his way of keeping it off of his mind. Maybe he couldn’t handle the funeral, and rather than sitting at home thinking about it, he went out to occupy his mind. I know I can’t handle funerals at ALL. Even when it’s someone I’m not related to. Especially little kids! That’s painful.
hey juve how could u do dat that is a 4 year old probaly have not even started elementary school u don t know how the moma fell right now she got to be hurt but u rather go smoking somewhere with some gansta *****s than go to your flesh and blood funeral u could see your boys anytime.
@SUGARWALLS…….WHEN I READ THIS EARLIER, I WAS TOO BUSY TO POST. I KNEW U OF ALL BLOGGERS WOULD DEFEND THIS SORRY SONOFA*****. I WOULD NOT SAY ANYTHING BEFORE I DEFEND THIS *****! YOUR STATEMENTS SPEAK VOLUMES ABOUT U.
WHEN THE STORY BROKE, YOU DEFENDED THE FACT THAT HE WAS NOT IN HER LIFE & DIDN’T SUPPORT HIS DAUGHTER. WHEN ANOTHER BLOGGER BUST YOUR DAMN BUBBLE ABOUT JUV BEING JAILED OVER NONPAYMENT, YOU STILL WERE TOO STUPID TO LET UP. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE IN LIFE YOU JUST DON’T WASTE ENERGY DEFENDING AND I THINK MOST BLOGGERS WILL AGREE THAT JUV IS ONE.
I SUGGEST YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME & START OVER CAUSE U HAVE BEEN PUT ON BLAST FOR BEING A DUMB ***** TOO MANY TIMES.
I MEANT TO SAY “DON’T WASTE TIME DEFENDING UNLESS U KNOW THEM PERSONALLY”
BOYCOTT JUVENILE- Besides doing the killing himself you can’t get any lower as a parent- This FOOL should never be allowed to make another dollar- He did a music show rather than attend his daughters funeral. JUVENILE you PIG- please don’t forget or forgive this slim bucket six months from now he should be put on notice.
This is so crazy because my guy was at the club in VIP with him….LOL….that is beyond words.Augusta, GA or….daughter’s funeral…you do the math….
On the contrary–Kanye IS an A-lister. The reason he gets denied entry to so many places is NOT because he fits the stereotype of hip-hop artists–It’s because he’s known to be an arrogant, eogtistical, SOB–but he is a talented one! Lol!!!
Another thing–
He DID do a performance around the time of his mother’s p*****ing. he just waited until AFTER the funeral.
Lol @ Lauren’s “chillax”.
I may have to borrow that one!
that is sad
bianca
hey juve how could u do dat that is a 4 year old probaly have not even started elementary school u don t know how the moma fell right now she got to be hurt but u rather go smoking somewhere with some gansta *****s than go to your flesh and blood funeral u could see your boys anyti

Didn’t you get the memo…..
The mother died along with the little girl.
Another blogger hinted to the killer being Juvenile’s brother. IT was NOT JUVENILE’S brother! The young man accused of the crime(s) was charged with killing….
HIS mother and his younger siblings–one of which was Juvenile’s daughter.
Just for the record……. I have my opinions about the young man not attending the funeral and I read most of the comments. I can understand that there may be many reasons for his decision but the “partyin’ it up”….. that was really a lack of decency and respect!
Let’s keep the story straight! God knows, we don’t need to make it any worse than what it already is!
Maybe it was to hard for him to come, did you guys ever think about that, if you had a four year old baby killed in such a horrible way, who knows if you could face going to the funeral. He probably doesn’t wanna face it, it probably is killing him inside, and my heart goes out to him in his time of weakness
This is so weird to me my heart goes out to this family, I pray for the young man who did this horrible crime, and I do pray for juve I belive
he couldn’t face her because he felt guilty as hell, he has been locked up twice about this same baby who he denied because he had just got married, I’m not judging him but I am so disappointed!
* if you don’t want to see about these kids rap it up!!!
this ***** celebrated because he dont have to pay child support anylonger. thats why he didnt make it. lets keep it real
@thelaw
I hate to agree w/you but it’s true. More money in his pocket. Sad but true.
Not a good father! yes, it’s a shame! I found his photo at stdromance.com
Yo, let us not judge. Different people handle stress differently. . .I can only imagine that he would rather just not be there. And used the Media for an excuse, because obviously, people going to judge him like they know him. I know a lot of people who did not attend funerals because they can’t take it
Where is that Rich *****z 2008 Edition. I need something I can stunt with when I pull up to Les Caves du Roy this year.
” If I aint a Hot Boy than what do you Call that “
That dude is an idiot!!!! He could have had the decentcy to pay his last repspects to the child/family. That lil girls spirit should come back and move evrything around in his house and drive his ***** cRaZy!!!
It’s important not to judge these folks just cuz they’re celebrities. *****ody knows how this man handles his grief, and as others said before, maybe he couldn’t handle the funeral. I’ve seen plenty of folks flip out and do crazy things after the death of a loved one. Difference is they’re not famous. Give the guy a break, he just lost his daughter.
Hi,Iam from the N.O. from what i know he says the little girl was not his.But i do think he should have still attended the funeral.I think he gave money to help.PLEASE PRAY FOR THE WORLD THERE ARE THINGS THAT GO ON IN PEOPLES LIVES YOU NEVER KNOW ABOUT.NO MATTER THE RACE,WE ALL NEED PRAYER.
One look at this moron makes one ask:
1) Would you expect any behaviour other than this? His name is not “Responsible Adult.”
2) Who in God’s name would spread their legs for this gold toothed rap punk?
2) Who in God’s name would spread their legs for this gold toothed rap punk?

Love Juve! He had his reasons and that’s it, if he had gone all ya’ll would ask why since he never saw her when she was alive. Juve’ is the truth and (aside from BG) the only member of cash money that wasn’t turned out by baby & doing condom commercials bent over by a cop

BULL*****! going is better than not going and partying hard haRD HARD at the club!
Let’s see…remember my 4 y/o as she was or lying in a pine box…….
Completely ugly! So is his heart. I dislike him. I think he is a heartless man. I have read a ad about him on the website called Wealthychat.com What would he do? I feel very upset.
He probably doesn’t wanna face it, it probably is killing him inside, and my heart goes out to him in his time of weakness,at ,equestriancupid. com/photo/orange,they say we should stand in his boat .i think we indeed should do this .
Really cool and he is so sexy ..I just found his new video and album on the site ” W e a l t h y L o v i n g .c o m”.Just cyrious.Is he really has a baby with a little sexy girl?
i can respect juve and his choice not to attend the funeral. everybody has their own personal feelings and reasons for attending or not attending funerals. i empathize with him because i don’t like to attend funerals because it does nothing but bring hurt. i can’t attend funerals, i stay home and cry because i know once i’m at the church i won’t get out the car so there’s no purpose for me going.
I mean DAMN! Ya’ll act like ya’ll know the story. You don’t know if he saw his daughter earlier and said his goddbye’s and made a decision with the family to not attend. There would have been people at he funeral who would’ve been in his face and probably come just to see him, and yall know this. Whether you think he’s D-list or not he must be known by most people because this was national news. Please don’t prejudge this man beause you don’t know the full story. The funeral is just a public goodbye, something done out of tradition like a weeding, but if he is dealing with it and spent time with his daughter’s remains before the funeral, what’s the problem with that? You don’t know so please don’t *****ume on something as serious as this.
wat funny is i was there! matta fact im in some of the pics, i dont know wat to say thats on that man on how he deals with things people deal with stuff different ways but who are we to judge juve or n e body!
NEVER THOUGT JUVE HAD BITH*****NESS IN HIM!!! NO EXCUSE FOR MISSING YOUR CHILDS FUNERAL
**********NESS
Alright. Tell me what’s the difference in Juv going out to party, then hundreds of thousand of people out there that do the same thing. Any club hopper knews dam near every weekend the is a group of people who went to a funeral somewhere, most likely with T-shirts pics on them, partying celabrating the life of the one they just lost. I’ve partied after all my homeboys funeral. Even after all 4 of my grandparents funerals. Getin drunk and actin a fool. Dam near got killed in a bar brawl 5 hours after laying my uncle to rest. Bet my whole fam was there to have my back in the club. You can’t tell some one how to morne. On the other hand. Let’s say he does go. The media might not be there, but what if every young person who know who he is, is pointing, talking. Some may be big fans and can’t keep focus on thier at a funeral. Not showin her respect at her funeral. Then all you hatin SOB will be talkin bout he should have stayed away cause he did get to know her while she was a live. Not everyone sits around and cry. Alot of us celabrate the life of the one we lost, and do it for the rest of our lives. I rep for all my boys. They will always be part of my life. I also rep my grandparents. Without them I would probley be lost. They installed the bible and God in me. Thou I may not be the man want to be. I thank God i’m not the man I use to be.
DO YO THANG JUVE!!!!!!!!!
@ Ms. Sugar walls
I am not one to judge but it one thing not to attend your daughters funeral and stay at home away from everyone to reflect… but not going to your daughters funeral, and then going out partying and performing. tha is just ridiculous. Plus when i use to work at the mall juvenile use to dome to the mall and buy clothes, i always thought he was a no tipping *****hole, him and his wife!
Bottom line is this dude never had an emotional connection with this child as a father, he had to be forced to acknowledge her through paternity testing from the courts. Thats the only reason he even paid child support to this woman. How would that look going to the funeral of a child who’s life he was never a part of?? Or a woman he barely knew?? I can see him not going to the funeral in that case, partying, and doing concerts as he did. If this incident would have happened to “God forbid” his mother or someone he was really close to, I can gaurantee his actions would have been much different than what we see in this situation. It is what it is, you can’t make someone do what they are suppose to do as a man or a father, and in the end he will have to answer to God for not being in his own child’s life. God bless those who lives were lost and the families, and I pray that Juvenile wakes up in this lifetime. We are only here for a moment in time.
@ thrill
You are a dumb *****! How the heck you gon party after someone jst lost their life? After that person is 6 feet under and can never see the light of day again? Why do you think funerals are sad? Because no one is happy that anyone is dead. Birthdays are happy because you celebrate life! you got it all twisted you stupid fool!
You got to be an ignorant black thug saying some stupid ***** like that! Thats all yall thugs do is kill and party!
@EWWWW
Look here my *****! I was raised in the south. Van Vleck Tx. A small country town where everybody knew everybody two towns over. Rasied by my grandparents. Raised in church by two grandfathers who were preachers, and one grandmother who was too. The bible tells us funerals are home going services. When the ones we love leave this world and go on because God called them home. So we celabrate the life and time God graced us to be in thier present. Celabrate the joy the brought to our live. Celabrate the are in a bettr place and not stuck in this hell hole with dumb ***** SOB like you who judge everybody because they don’t do things they way you do them. Go to church and read a real book.
@ Thrill
You are a damn joke! A second ago you were talkin about clubbin minute after a funeral and you whole family having your back at the club while you were in a brawl! Now you tell me that you are from a christian faily, and these same clubgoers are out preaching the word?! Nicca please, you are confused, when someone dies you can celebrate, but not by going to the club, performing, getting, drunk or what not. You can celebrate by having everyone at the house or having little get together! Not showing your ***** as if you just killed them and are happy they are gone!
Hell yeah I clubed! So what. I was younger then and I hadn’t come to fully understand the things my grandparents had tryed to teach me. I never said my whole family was holy then thou, like your in entire family is. And I never said my whole family was in the club. Who said we did get together at home. Eat some bar-b-q, talk and reminiscence. We have a good time with family and love ones, but all that comes to a end and people leave and go do thier own thang. Go to sleep, cry all night or, do something that they know the person they just lost would want them to do if they were still there. But until we find God, we might fall down and come short of his glory. You see not everybody comes out the wound bless and free of sin as you were. We make mistakes, and have to ask God for forgive ness. To straighten us up so we can walk the path the he has laid down for us. We do things that are ill to others, and that some may take offence to. But you never had to worry bout that. Everything you do is without sin. You have always made the right choise, never lied, cheated, or even had a bad thought. Only that you get on a web sight and judge others cause they do thing different then you. They like to eat thier french frys plain, but thats not right to you. If theres not ketchup it not right. Who put sugar on grits, it suppose to be salt. Water isn’t wet, it’s just not dry. You celabrate the home going of those you know they way you want to and let everyone esle do there thang. ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I may not be what I want to be, But I’m sure glad I aint what I use to be!
thats sorry!! he had no problem using the tragedy for some publicity but he cant make it to the funeral? there aint an excuse in the world to not attend the funeral of ur own child…even if u were MIA during her life. i will never support another juvi project again…im from the south and i love supporting down south rappers but u dont do family like that nucca!!
and in regards to some convos i was reading on this blog. ur right…not every one is perfect and we are all struggling to get to a higher level of understanding and a better position with God, but one thing u dont do is brag on the sin u once commited. its not that u are being judged but it does show u havent come as far as u think. preachers will often bring up their past sins, but only when it is being used to teach a lesson of change and elevation. if u arent clubbing after funerals anymore but love to reminiscence on those days..then likely that is where ur heart still is. a new heart will see the wrong in that. i did some trif ***** to when i was younger and i still have my moments and i do consider myself a believer in Christ and a follower of God, i know that no one is better then the next and that even on my best days i am not worthy of Gods love so i try not to knock people across the face with my bible. i do beleive that we can only get better by accpeting our sins as exactly what they are…a sin. somethings arent even sins they just plain triflin and dont add to our character. we all just need to realize that and work on self elavation…cause ur right no one is better then the next. whether they in a club after a funeral, skipping their childs funeral for a show, or in the front pew of the church catching a fake holy ghost. ya dig?
***and fyi i will not be on this blog after i post this..so any silly mess will not be acknowledged.
THATS MESSED HE COULDN’T ATTEND HIS OWN FLESH AND BLOOD FUNREAL. WHATS HIS PROBLEM HIS MUSIC IS WACK ANY DAMN WAY FREAKIN DEADBEAT DAD
I hoping he just did not want to face it I hope thats it
he didnt want to bring the media to his late daughter’s funeral i understand the choice he had to make
I hope that aint true Juvie
Looser
First off, I am not taking up for him. I have two sons and I can’t picture missing graduation let alone a tragic moment like that. But different people grieve differently. Maybe not being there was best for his state-of-mind.
I had a friend who lost a child and she didn’t go the funeral either. (The girl was 5) She didn’t even want to have one, and everyone else was pushing the issue. But it kind of made sense to me; how do you have a funeral for a 4- or 5-year-old? Invite the other kiddies to see their friend in a box? I can’t blame Juvie. I don’t think I could go either. And I would be anywhere doing everything to not think about it. Folks just need to mind their business…
