Rapper The Game is at the center of a police investigation after a family bust-up at his cousin's funeral last weekend (7/5/2008). The Compton, California native, real name Jayceon Taylor, reportedly angered family members after his promises to financially contribute to his first cousin's funeral were not met. Taylor's relative, Robert 'Kirky' Kirkwood tells website TMZ.com that when his sister died, the rapper volunteered to pay $7,000 - half the cost of the burial. According to reports, the rapper attended Saturday's ceremony unexpectedly and spoke at the service about family values, sparking a feud between the pair outside the church. Kirkwood then filed a police report against the rapper, accusing The Game of punching him in the face. Authorities have confirmed there was an altercation resulting over financial matters at the funeral and an investigation is in the works.
In other Game news, now dude is making plans to concentrate on becoming the next great hip-hop mogul after he retires from rap at the end of 2008. The rapper recently announced his upcoming third album would be his last, stating he plans to devote more time to his kids. But he insists he won't be turning his back on rap - he hopes to become the next Diddy or Dr. Dre. As the force behind the label Black Wall Street, The Game insists he'll become a major player as an industry bigwig. He says, "I've been spending 100 percent of my time being Game, so I haven't been able to focus on my producers and my artists, so this year I'm gonna get it crackin'...the same way Dre, Quincy Jones and Diddy do it (sic) - by being a rap mogul. There are a lot of ways to keep hip-hop alive without being an artist. I don't have to be vocal to make it happen."
Ummmm-hmmm.
