Juvenile a No Show at Daughter's Funeral

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.

62. #59. honey this is not a racial thing. as a human being if something is wrong you have to admit it is wrong. call a spade a spade. the man didnot do anything willingly for this child when she was a live. she is now dead and that didnot even change his stance. some men are just Assh**** plain and simple no matter their color. deadbeat dads have no excuse and therefore get no sympathy. he could be black/white/green/blue! he is a disgrace period!!!

63. Low Life Loser,, How does this slug sleep at night?? Just another dead beat dad who had the resources to support his child but refused to..Even a dog takes care of it's young..Granted the $$ may not have prevented this childs murder,but perhaps her mother could have moved to a safer neighborhood...

64. #31.. I didn't think of it this way. You are right... maybe he was thinking of the family when he decided not to show up. If he indeed had nothing to do with the little angel when she was alive, then it would be an insult to her and her dearly deceased mother and sister if he were to show up. Maybe.... I don't know though... it is your own flesh and blood... how can you not go? I don't have kids, I can't imagine. I just can't. My impulse is still to think Juvenile copped out of his duties, but I can't judge.

I want to show support to the surviving family of this tragedy. What a horrible thing.... a tragedy. What could have possessed that 17 year old to do such a thing I will never understand. RIP.

65. How sad, he can't even be man enough to attend his daughters funeral............... These black men just looove to lay down and make babies, must make them feel like a man!!!! It's so sad and unfair to these kids, truth be in you're black child dad prolly isn't in the pic and momma's gotta do it all, but somehow its ok w/ her to keep making babies she can't afford and take care of!!!!!! Take the american idol example woman 5 kids 25 yrs old unwed, who do you think is paying for these kids ........... WE are!!!!!

68. I thought Rappers were all about media attention. So sad, this little girl didn't have anyone and her poor mother couldn't be there for her but not by her own choice. SAD, SAD, SAD.

I can guarantee you if Juvenile was at a party doing his thing and he was worried about the media, he would have done what ever it took to make sure he could party in peace but his own daughter doesn't deserve the same. SAD.

69. I am so sick of people who use the race card as an excuse for bad behavior. Give me a break.. the "man" didn't have enough integrity to show up for his child's funeral. That is just plain sick. NOT RACIST.

70. this is the saddest thing that i've heard in a while.
sadder still-- i agree with some of the harsher comments: he didn't attend the funeral, and he's probably happy he will be released from dat child support
now he's probably going to try and capitalize by making a song about it-- i would just hope nobody buys it

71. "kerry" is a bitch-- i hope the same happens to her child

72. I've been biting my tongue on this one, but I'm just gonna say it; he's probably happy the child is dead. He probably wanted to kill her himself when that chid support order came down. And people have been extending sympathy to this dead beat on blogs all over the internet. That's alright, karma is a bitch.

73. to number 24 you my friend are an idiot it's a known fact he was a deadbeat and i am sure just by his actions now he doesn't care. To the other person on here that asked do we know how it is to have child murdered thank god i do not but i will say one thing no parent that loves their children will let anything or anyone get in the way of their attending said childs funeral so all you that want to back him you are just as dumb and just as bad.

74. Damn......that is just wrong!!!!! Not a good father!!! But he's been in prison too, was it for murder or gun charges or drugs or rape....or...... Hope he at least paid for the funeral!

75. Jelani wants daddy to know >>>> He should not let the "media attention" divert him from the ceremony. #66 Joy wants you to know she was a Sheriff's Deputy!!!! Nicole make a more educated statement in the future...did you even read the 3 paragraphs detailing the situation? You are a very shallow person. The life each person is dealt makes them who they are...try listening to someone's story you might learn why a person made the choices they made and the journey they experienced. Oh, excuse me you don't experience life do you Nicole? You just read about others (at least half the story...lol) and talk about them! You are Juveniles type of woman ..all hype!!!!!!!!! #66 Have you ever heard read the bible? We should give to those less fortunate...the child!!!!
