Celebrity Justice
Game Accused of Stiffing Dead Cuz

The Game has pissed off his fam bam -- big time! His family says the rapper had promised to finance part of his cousin's funeral -- but when it came time to pay up, they got stiffed!

Robert "Kirky" Kirkwood tells TMZ that when his sister died, The Game -- who he says is his first cousin -- volunteered to pay half of the $14k it cost to bury her. But after making the commitment, Kirky says The Game changed his phone number and went underground!

That's when the blood started to boil ...

Kirky then says The Game -- real name Jayceon Taylor -- showed up unexpectedly at the funeral last Saturday, even speaking at the service about family values. But things got heated outside the church when the issue of the cash came up. Kirky says his cuz stepped to him and started a big ol' fight, punching him in the face!

Kirky's filed a police report, and cops tell us there was an altercation over money at the funeral and an active investigation is in place.

The Game nor his people have yet to return our calls.

46. Now that you have Georgettes address, can anyone out there in T M Z land send her some money to get her car out the impound, she made out like a fat rat at that funeral with money coming from everywhere in honor of Shannon, if you know her, you willlknow its all about money, and while you readers are looking, she needs money for a good attorney for her own defense for april 1970.,believe me, she will take any money you send, shes just that money hungry. Yes it is sad that all their dirty laundry is being aired but you have to remember, her and her followers started all of this. They went to TMZ and the police and in the end, all truths will be revealed even what she did in April 1970. Shes a stoned cold killa, get my drift!!!!!!!!!! How do you sleep at night, Georgette when youve wronged so many family members and close friends ?Oh i just remembered, you named yourself MIMI, that stands for ME ME, Its all about you. YOU CANT HANDLE THE REAL TRUTH, BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO FACE IT, DAMN ITS BEEN 38 YEARS, I BET YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD GOT AWAY SCOTT FREE!!!!!!!!!!

47. I loved Shannon with all my heart and soul.

My beautiful, lovely spritually gifted child has gone to heaven. I loved and nutured her for 40 years; the last 7 years we were inseparable and developed a spiritual bond that can never be broken. The memory of this wonderful loving girl cannot be marred by hateful lies. My grief cannot be interrupted by the hatred of others. Shannon's response would be "the devil is busy" and Shannon would simply say " pray for them Ma."

To those who have chosen this forum and my daughter's funeral to vent their hate; what a shame it is that you would use this time to expose your lack of compassion and decency. There is nothing you can say or do that can create any more pain than I feel at the lost of my sweet daughter. I forgive you and I forget you. Godpeace.

P.S. To the many who have continued to show their love and support God Bless You Always.

48. R U appealing for compassion after you & ur son started all this crap? Shouldn't compassion have already been in place before assault charges were filed against "The Game"? If you loved your daughter so much, have known for 7 years that this day would come due to her chronic illness, wouldn't your love and compassion for her have allowed for you to make appropriate allocations for her passing rather than assume that "The Game" would financially provide for it? Does this mean you are officially mourning and charges are being dropped against "The Game"?

50. to the family this is so ridiculous that this family is crossing each other like this.Its so triffling and it should'nt be going down like this. Every one is forgeting one thing and its Shannon her smile, her laugh,her personally. She had a heart of gold and she had a beautiful service despite of what went down. If The Game said he was going to do something and did'nt do it ,thats on him.Every one does things for an reason. Like he said "people were blowing up his phone" so there are two side to every story.Did any one call and see if The Game were okay? He lost someone dear too. We all did but people want to put out addresses laudry out dirty gossip. Come on every one lets get serious lets act like adults. To the mother and brother pray and to The Game pray you have a new album coming out and I know you have alot of work ahead of you. Instead of knockong each other out start trying to encourage each other because money is a ruler of all evil. Game you were there for my first Cousin The Billboard and you were straight on the up and up finacially with my family so I know its something that went down but you guys pray and it will work out

51. What a cold case - April 1970?

52. Georgette i find it so hard to believe that you have spent every day since Shannons death adding comments to T M Z. Now you have a personal plea for peace after you started all this mess. what kind of bond did you really have with Shannon, when you let her pass on without giving her what she wanted more than anything. All she wanted to know was who her real father was.She had figured it out just like everyone from the old neighborhood who it was, she just wanted to hear it from you, but in true for of your character,you would not tel lher because of the secrets that come with that truth. Please stop trying to make the people on this forum stop thinkiing you are now the greatest loving mother on earth when those close to you know better. IF YOU WANT TO PROVE to the readers that you are the loving mother you claim to be, then get off the computer, stop calling people,stop texting ,and most of all, stop gossiping. TAKE THE TIME TO GRIEVE YOUR lDAUGHTER,drop down on your knees and pray for the inner peace of your dysfunctional family, seek solitude, and stop looking for pity and sympathy from these readers, they dont know you, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, GO ON AND GRIEVE IN PEACE,even though that is something you know nothing about. TURN THE OTHER CHEEK, PRAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE WRONG AND IN RETURN WE WILL ALL PRAY THAT YOU WILL GET ON YOUR KNEES AND OFF THE COMPUTER,and again...enough is enough

53. My heart goes out to this grieving mother. Shame on this family for attacking such a sweet lady at her time of
profound grief. Hopefully you will never have to endure years of saddness and frustration over your child's severe illness, and then stand valantly by her bedside as her child takes her last breath. I pray for this family and if I was a member of such a hatefuld group of people, family or otherwise,I would opt out! Meantime, I will pray that you less than human beings
never suffer such a tragedy.

54. IF YOUR HEART GOES OUT TO THIS FAMILY, THEN WOULDNT A PHONE CALL TO THE SWEET MOTHER AS YOU CALL HER BEEN ENOUGH. STOP USING TMZ FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL 15 MINUTES OF FAME. THE FAMILY HAS THEIR OWN OPINIONS OF HER THAT COME FROM YEARS OF THE BULL, LIES, AND GOSSIPING THAT WE HAD TO ENDURE, AND SINCE YOU DONT KNOW HER LIKE THE REST OF US,THEN YOU SHOULD MIND YOUR BUSINESS, BECAUSE YOU ARE 1 SIDED.AGAIN THIS IS NOT THE FORUM FOR BLASTING ONE SIDE OR ANOTHER, SO IF YOUR HEARTS GO OUT TO THE MOTHER GIVE HER A CALL,SEND HER A CARD, BUT MAKE SURE YOU DONT TELL HER ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL BUSINESS. THEN AN ONLY THEN WILL YOU KNOW HOW SOUR SUGAR CAN TASTE. STOP BLOGGING,START GRIEVING, ROME WASNT BUILT IN A DAY AND IT ONLY TOOK ONE LADY TO DESTROY THE TAYLOR FAMILY.............NOW AGAIN STOP BLOGGING AND GO GRIEVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

55. iI see Mimi is still up to her old tricks,instead of being the grieving mother who lloved her daughter so much that she knew she was ill for years and did nt prepare financially for something she knew would happen and now wants all of america to feel her pain. Well has anyone stopped to ask her in her many phone calls that she has been making to anyone that will listen to her sob story, why did you put Shannon Johnson on the obituary, how sad that even in your daughters passing that you would still continue to lie. Willard Johnson told her years ago, he was not her father, and you still hide behind ypur lies. You couldnt tell her who her real father was, because that would open a can of worms that you would rather hold on to until the end of time. HOW SAD. Now you want everyone to think youre the greatest invention since the wheel. Go on because in the end , all those people who you have managed to hoodwink with your bull crap will soon find out how conniving you are and how good you have been in hiding the truth for so many years. Why havent you sent your nephew Robert a letter, a card, or even paiid him a visit since hes been gone,youre the loving Auntie Mimi who loves her family, but you such a godly woman picks and chooses which family members she can pull the wool over their eyes. Get a life and stop trying to get sympathy for those who dont know the real you. Its sad that the only memories that we will have of you are of being backstabbing, lying, and a smooth gossiping talker. I wonder if all the people you keep talking to everyday to get them to feel sorry for you can even see through your window of deceit. I dont know a mother who has lost their child to be on the phone, on the computer, constantly. Ever tried seclusion? this is a website, not JESUS. Get on your knees and pray, and while you are at it, ask god to forgive for the sin you committed, he is a forgiving god, just ask........................................

56. To # 54 and 55 who is obviously the same person! You are so full of evilness and hate! Your posts have come as close to the devil as I have ever heard. As you are discussing your sister and mother why don't you take a well deserved break from TMZ and stop making an abject fool of yourself. You are much like a cartoon. You are a very sick girl. How sad I feel for your children.

Posted at 1:03AM on Jul 17th 2008 by roachkiller

57. I agree! This weird girl has a personal vendetta against her own mother. How sick is ti at such a time. She must be the devil! And I would not be surprised if she claim she is a christian. Leave your mother alone before you go straight to hell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I personally think you are crazy and this is the perfect venue for cowards like you! You are so dumb you evek you are anonmous retard.

59. SHANNON WAS A VERY BEAUTIFUL PERSON TO ME A LONG TIME FRIEND AN WILL BE MISSED NO MORE THATS MY SONG LOVE YA

60. It's so funny how stuff get turned around and mixed up. I'm Jayceon's and Kirky's cousin and I was there at the funeral and saw everything. People are a trip and so is the media, everyone is looking for drama and the only reason this is in the media is because of Jayceon's status in life, if he was a nobody like me then no one would even care. Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see unless you know what the hell you are talking about.
