Juvenile a No Show at Daughter's Funeral

Posted Mar 10th 2008 4:10PM by TMZ Staff

JuvenileJuvenile's murdered 4-year-old daughter Jelani was laid to rest Saturday along with her her sister Micaiah, and their mother, Gwinnett County Sheriff's Deputy Joy Deleston in James Island, S.C.

Juvenile did not attend the service and, according to his spokesperson, made the decision because he didn't want to divert attention away from the ceremony with further media attention.

Cops in Georgia arrested 17-year-old Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr.,and charged him with killing his mother, and his two small sisters.

48. Everyone grieves in their own way. Rather he attends the service or paid his last respects before or at her grave site all alone is his business , his right, and none of everyone's concern. The fact that this story is printed shows that if he was there, the media would have been there as well flashing pictures. And the service would have been made about HIM not her.
For all of you calling him names and making judgements (based on media gossip) just be glad your child is not murdered along with a person you once cared about.

49. Of course he didn't go to the funeral - he wasn't there when they were alive, why would he be there when they're dead?? Tragic, tragic story...

51. This has nothing to do with race, people. This is simply a man without a soul.

54. How could you miss your OWN CHILDS FUNERAL?
That just proves that some men have babies with women and don't care anything about the child.
He is a sorry excuse for a 'man'!
BOYCOTT HIS MUSIC! SMASH HIS CDs like they did the Dixie Chicks! BOYCOTT all concerts and all work Juvenile does!
Stand up for children!
Make these sperm donors RESPONSIBLE for their children! Women, don't take this crap from 'men' anymore!!
It would KILL a parent to attend their childs funeral, my God I can't imagine it and I'd be nearly comatose from sedation but I'd BE THERE!
I wouldn't give an excuse "I didn't want to cause extra excitement from excess media attention" THAT WAS HIS CHILD!
NO EXCUSE for that, he didn't WANT to attend because he obviously doesn't CARE. He's probably relieved he doesn't have to pay anymore child support!
What a JERK!

55. I know I am not THAT OLD, but who the hell is this so-called, self-ascribed "media giant?" All I can say is - not only is he a jerk, a 'juvenile,' but also the lowest life form on Earth! I don't care if you were merely a sperm donor and wanted nothing to do with this child, you just don't blow off their funeral. As The Bible states - "You will reap what you sow." I hope the jerk is remembered the same way when its HIS time to be 'planted'.....and no one shows up, not even a minister!

Posted at 5:41PM on Mar 10th 2008 by Who the heck is this Crap rapper???

56. If your all serious on your feelings of this obviously uncaring man....then honor this child by NEVER, EVER buying anything that this man produces. Money talks........lack of profit WILL send the message.

57. That is absolutely no reason for him not attending the services. He is a sorry excuse for a man. Sorry @$$!!!!

58. He needs to get a vasectomy so he won't bring any more children that he'll neglect into this world. I wish to extend my condolences to those that are really grieving for this family.

59. Yeah right, more lame ass excuses. He fought the mother in court because he didn't want to pay child support and I am gonna guess that he didn't bother to have much contact with the girl either. Just another excuse to get out of being a dad.... yet again.
