Funeral Home Knock Out

The Game is in trouble with the law again behind some crazy family dramatics:

Rapper The Game is at the center of a police investigation after a fist fight broke out at his cousin’s funeral last weekend. According to reports, the L.A.-based MC angered family members by not contributing financially to the funeral as he’d promised.

Robert ‘Kirky’ Kirkwood tells website TMZ.com that when his sister died, The Game – real name Jayceon Taylor – volunteered to pay half the cost of the burial, which amounted to $7,000. Reports say the rapper attended Saturday’s ceremony unexpectedly and spoke at the service about family values.

The impromptu speech was apparently ill-received, as it prompted a scuffle between Taylor and Kirkwood outside the church. The relative later filed a police report, accusing The Game of punching him in the face. Authorities have confirmed there was an altercation and that it came about over financial matters.

Family matters do tend to get heated when cash is in the equation – we sense a lawsuit coming on…

    Well now the cousin can get the funeral money and then some from a lawsuit. Game needs to cut those money grubbing negroes off. Didn’t knowbody tell them to have a lavish 14k funeral. I’da bust him in the mouth too for taking my kindness for weakness and then having the nerve to bring it up at the funeral.

    Jay-Z school this brother.

  • No He Didn’t !

    Now that’s what you call “A GHETTO FABULOUS FUNERAL”.

    LMAO!

  • pm

    You got to cut some family members off when you get money. They think u owe them something.

  • Roe ski love

    Tell dat ghetto a$$ dude that the game is not obligated to pay for kinfolks funeral because he got stacks. Thats why you should have an insurance policy (enough to cover at least a funeral) on yourself. There wont be a successful lawsuit because it is probably going to be ruled self defense.

  • MAKE EM SWEAT

    Insurance?? Policy??

  • AriesChick

    Man I’ve been to some funerals like this before just at the crib after not at the chuch’

    God at least rest the young girl’s soul! At the end of the day that is what matters!

    God Bless!

  • Johar From Algeria

    If I had money like him, I would pay for the funerals of somebody that I don’t even know.

    Maybe Game wants to be burried with his money lol.

  • FineAsWine

    This is some disturbing news….SMH at these dumb ass folks….get it together thats just straight ghetto as hell

  • VoiceOfReason

    Okay, why did they say he was supposed to pay half but “unexpectedly” attended? Let me see if I understand……they EXPECTED him to pay but did NOT EXPECT him to attend?

    Hmmmmmm…….

  • BLUNTBLAZER

    I WONDER HOW MUCH TMZ PAID HIM FOR THE STORY

    CHECK THA NEW TRACK “SUISIDAL”

  • INOCENTbiSTANDR

    Just tactless, down right classless, this is how you respect the dead. I am just at a loss for words right now. I have heard of arguing before and after at the house but never at the church. Why was he not expected to attend. Maybe he aint got it like they think he do. She was still his fam and he had a right to be there, rich or po’. Get some morals and values ppl. DAMN

  • lil latte(had her puppies on 4th of july)

    This is something that should be a private family matter…but we know how that goes

  • sickofitt

    It is really sad how some folks make complete a$$es of themselves at funerals. I was at a close friend’s aunts funeral. I could not believe what went down at the church. The aunt that died was the youngest of 4 sisters. She died from cancer, so she lost all her hair and was a fragment of what she used to be. One of the sisters is a hair stylist. She made a wig for the deceased sister. She did a really good job, but the worst part of the story was the B!tch wanted the wig back after the viewing was over because she put human hair in the wig. She then tried to compromise by telling the deceased sisters husband to pay for the wig and she will allow her baby sister to be buried in it. This cause a huge argument between the sisters and the remaining 2 sisters jumped the selfish sister and all three of them were arrested and hauled off to jail in the church in front of everybody. I don’t think it can get any worse that that. TRIF

    Damm shame!

  • BooBoo

    YOU GOT MONEY CASH FLOWS… AND YOU DONT HELP WHAT AS A-HOLE

  • My Opinion–OK?

    I never knew that the Game was so unnattractive. I knew that he had all of those ugly tattoes and all, but I didnt know that his nose was so ugly and his face was so DOGG looking. Wow most of the rappers now a days are really just hard to even look at.

    Example—Weezy is extremely Ugly

    TI is a frail boney toothpick with mouth sores

    Young Jock looks like a transvestite

    Kanye looks like a puffy face fool

    Jay Z is just ugly

    The Game has a dog face

    50 cents looks crazy

  • lil latte(had her puppies on 4th of july)

    @sickofitt

    That sister was a real b#*ch!I hope I don’t have relatives like that!

  • sickofitt

    What??? Game would be decent if he got rid of those Tats on his face and that pig nose. LOL!! He’s has a nice build on him. He is not a little short scrawny dude like most of these rappers. He looks like he’s at least 6ft.

    How tall is The Game???

  • Chaka

    These people are losing their minds

  • Lauren (It’s a girl!!)

    If the family didn’t have a written agreement then they have no case. But The Game is triflin for making a speech at the girls funeral about family values.

  • ARTOFWAR

    If Game made a previous verbal agreement, to pay for half of the costs of the funeral. Than he should pay up. Or he should have never offered his financial assistance, in the first place. At the end of the day, all a man really has, is his word. If people can not trust your word, you have nothing. Therefore you are nothing.

    ARTOFWAR.

  • Bozo D. Clown

    $14,00 for a funeral? I’ve been to weddings that didn’t cost that much… What is wrong with these people?

  • I’m Just Me (I AIN’T WITH REDBONE N*GGAS)

    Did he really say he was going to pay it or did people assume he was going to pay it because he has the money to do so? Hmmm? That is the real question. When someone dies, a lot and I mean a lot of assumptions are made, espeically when it comes to money.

  • lil latte(had her puppies on 4th of july)

    hello im just me how are you today?

  • PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    everyday he trying to justify his thug

  • mrslaadee

    People(especially family members)kill me trying to clock other people’s money. If The Game chooses to contribute money to his cousins funeral, than that should be his choice and his choice only. But if he chooses not too or changes his mind, the family has to respect that.

  • Ashcakes

    This is a sad situation. Personally if I didn’t mess with my family and thought they were grimey I would have never offered any assistance toward the funeral. Thats The Game’s fault if that’s true. If it is the case I would feel beyond disrespected if dude just showed up at the funeral trying to be self righteous preaching values that he doesn’t believe in.

    I understand comments about how family come out of nowhere but lets be real. Growing up your first cousins were just as close to you as your own brothers and sisters. Its not like these are the Game’s distant relatives.

  • I’m Just Me (I AIN’T WITH REDBONE N*GGAS)

    Hey Latte

    I am good and you??? How are the pups?

  • Suga Mo

    Thats your money GAME!!!…do what u feel…LOL Sorry about ur cus but instead of folk speclulating and making plans for ur funds, they need to make sure that if you dont come through, they still have what they need. They didnt pay for the whole thing up front (most likely) which mean the money could still be coming…Get off his back!! Sounds like cus was getting heated cause he felt guilty after hearing your speech.

    Its unfortunate but you should try and come togther regardless. And if they press charges because you punch that dude, thats petty, especially since all they want is money for a funeral.

  • lil latte(had her puppies on 4th of july)

    I’m just me

    Im ok the 2 remaining puppies are fine we had to put one of them to sleep it was born with a cleft pallet(hope i spelled that right) Do you thing Game will pitch in for my vet costs? LOL

  • David T’s girl

    This is why I don’t do bizness wit family! For real though, they would put together 5 bucks on his funeral. Goddam crabs in a barrel

    I don’t know whether to shake my head out of shame or laugh. So very,very sad. Can you picture that scene: A funeralPeople mourning and fighting? Jesus take the wheel, indeed.

  • Static

    a lalvish 14 k funeral? SMDH

    anyway cuzz… i thought there was know beef with 50?

    this nicca is gay and bi polar…

  • Tired

    That was wrong tho they shouldn’t just expect him to pay just b/c he’s rich and famous

  • tori

    Wow. Now that he has clairified the situation I am shocked. Before his cousin passed they were expecting game to cover the cost of the funeral. The brother of the deceased started this altercation by asking him “what’s up with that cheese you suppose to be the game a big rapper” right there at the funeral. I don’t blame game I wouldn’t pay for anything. That is not how you ask for a favor. He offered to pay for the casket and the flowers. This is not his immediate family. He should just cut them all off.

    When one family member gets rich, aunts, uncles, cousins, and everyone else thinks that he is suppose to share his wealth or pay for everything. They should of had insurance. That isn’t his reponsiblity. A man can’t go to a funeral and pay their last respects to a family memeber without some greedy, classless family member demanding money. What nerve!

  • Another day

    I dont blame him and I hope he does not get in trouble for this, family can be your worst nightmare it’s like you want to share with them and put them on and take them for the ride but they take advantage. God forbid something happen and you slip and fall there they are running their mouths kicking you while your down! SMH

  • Kompton’s Kutie

    Well, when the checks got your name on them, you don’t owe anybody anything. Unless, you want to give money.

    Last time I checked, it’s 2 damn many people on both sides of his family. If you gotta keep dishing out for lavish funerals, etc. He will go broke. But he didn’t have to speak at the funeral.

    And when he got broke off the first time from Aftermath he gave money to certain family members, that he felt mattered. Guess they weren’t that special.

  • Realmatic

    Uh, everywhere game goes trouble follows. How is it that he is at odds with everyone? I don’t care if it’s 50, his family, or some kids on a basketball court, dude is always fighting with someone.

    His story sounded believable but as the source, he’s just to shaky for me to trust his account of the events.

    Even if he is telling the entire truth, if you know those people are trouble and you heard your cousin — the crip — was talking slick behind your back…about beating you down no less…to your brother who doesn’t like you either…why would you go to the funeral anyways? Your cousin is no less dead if you didn’t go to the funeral in that case.

    So please Game. Grow the F up.

  • lisalisa

    That photo of him looks gay. Why does it look like he is about to perform fallatio?

  • Nothing Nice

    If I had money like him, I would pay for the funerals of somebody that I don’t even know.

    Maybe Game wants to be burried with his money lol.

    ==============================

    I agree. Why couldn’t Game just pay for the funeral? He’s obviously the only one in the family w/ $ thats why them ghetto fools came to him in the first place. The truth is Game aint all that paid. He’s not stacking like he want the rest of us to believe. I mean why not pay or give a decent amount of money to bury your own DAMN COUSIN? It’s a cousin not an in-law. What the hell is 7 grand to a platinum selling gucci wearing player? I bet Jay-z would have put that money up. You know why? Cause Jay actually has money and the game doesnt!
