Evelyn Lozada and daughter Shaniece Hairston are addressing the backlash they received over supposedly “betraying” The Game’s ex, Tiffney Cambridge.
In a recent episode of the Drop The Lo podcast, Lozada directly asked Hairston to “respond to the claims that you and I betrayed The Game’s ex.”
“Like, when you came out pregnant and it was like this whole, like, whirlwind of ‘oh my God they’re these horrible people’ because people made it to be—like, they turned it into a whole story that it wasn’t,” Lozada asked near the eight-minute, 36-second mark in the video linked above.
Hairston responded, “Yeah, no. That’s really a rumor that grew, like, hands and legs and fingers and the whole thing. And I don’t know where—where did that even come from and who started that. I don’t respond to that because it’s absolutely ridiculous, it’s not true.”
In December 2024, Hairston and The Game welcomed son Blaze Taylor. As explained by Bossip, users online were up in arms and accused the couple of betraying Cambridge, Lozada’s supposed “best friend,” who dated the rapper for eight years and co-starred with him in VH1’s Marrying The Game from 2012 to 2014.
The Game shares 18-year-old son King Justice Taylor and 15-year-old daughter California “Cali” Dream with Cambridge.
“You guys were not ‘best friends,’” Hairston explained on the podcast. “A lot of people were at your baby shower, you guys were on the same network and that was, like, over a decade ago. So I don’t feel any type of way that you were in the presence of—and why should I, you know what I mean? It’s not like you guys were best friends. It wasn’t my friend.”
Lozada chalked it up to a “huge misconception” before addressing another disturbing rumor that Hairston knew The Game as a child and had inappropriate contact with him.
“One of the other crazy rumors was that you knew your son’s father as a kid and you would be sitting on his lap as a kid, as if he was looking at you a certain way when you were, fucking, whatever 15 [years old],” Lozada said.
“A sick mind also came up with that one too. We didn’t know each other when I was a kid, that never happened,” Hairston concluded.
