The Game Confirms He’s Expecting A Child, Reportedly With Evelyn Lozada’s Daughter, Shaniece
Months after The Game was reported to be expecting a child, he has confirmed the much-discussed baby news.
During a sit-down with The Shade Room, the Compton wordsmith revealed that he is expecting his fourth child, saying that welcoming a child in his 40s has led him to contemplate aging as a parent.
“I think about it in terms of years,” he said. “I’m 44. When my new child is 21, I’ll be 65, right? And that seems kinda old, until you start thinking about who’s 65 now.” The “How We Do” rapper then name-drops Mariah Carey, 55, and JAY-Z, 54, as public figures whose, “next big birthday is probably 60, and they’re still out here looking young and looking cool. It ain’t that bad.”
“It’s going to be a different parenting experience than when I was young. When I was young, I was still hardheaded, still in the streets…I don’t know how I even made it to this point in my life doing the things that I was doing, but I made it. My kids are all fine, smart, straight A students and good, so it’ll just be interesting to parent at this age.”
The Game shares eldest son, Harlem Caron, 21, with Aleska Jordan. He shares son King Justice, 17, and daughter Cali Dream, 13, with Tiffney Cambridge.
As for whom he’s expecting with this time around, InTouch has reported that the rapper will be welcoming his new child with Shaniece Hairston, daughter of Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada. While neither party has confirmed the report, the pair were spotted together grabbing dinner at NoBu in December 2023, fueling relationship rumors.
Hairston shared her baby news back in June, with Lozada taking to social media to express her joy over soon becoming an “abuelita.”
“Happy birthday to my AMAZING daughter @shanieceh. You have always been my greatest blessing, and now you are bringing even more joy into our lives with your little one on the way,” wrote the Queen’s Court reality star at the time. “Becoming a mom at 17 was a journey we took together, and seeing you embrace motherhood fills my heart with pride and love. I am so excited to become ‘ABUELITA’ and to share this beautiful journey with you. Love you more than words can express!!!! Me & your dad are ready for this new title!!! Let’s goooooo!”
