When Shaniece disclosed that it was The Game, Evelyn felt an overwhelming sense of relief wash over her. The reason for her reassurance? She had already recognized that the talented rapper and songwriter, known for his hit 'Like Father, Like Son', is a dedicated parent to his three other children: Harlem, 21, King, 18, and Cali, 14.

“Knowing that he is a great dad, I knew my grandson was gonna be fine,” Evelyn expressed, showering The Game with well-deserved praise for his parenting skills. She also commended the co-parenting relationship established between him and Shaniece, describing it as “great.” This acknowledgment underscores the significance of a supportive parenting partnership for the well-being of their child.

Despite the positive co-parenting dynamics, Evelyn took the opportunity to advise her daughter on the importance of fostering a strong bond with her child’s father. She emphasized that maintaining a healthy relationship with The Game would ultimately lead to “everything better for your kid,” reinforcing the idea that cooperative parenting is beneficial for their child’s development.

As for her beloved grandson Blaze, Evelyn can’t contain her excitement and joy. She has been sharing delightful updates about him, noting that he is already achieving significant developmental milestones, particularly in his early attempts to walk. “His crawl is interesting,” she commented. “It’s not like he drags himself through the floor. But now, he’s going from that to standing, and I’m like, ‘Oh, my God!’” It’s clear that this proud grandmother is astonished by how quickly her grandbaby is growing.

Shaniece’s Announcement as a “Single Mom” Sparks Online Buzz

Now, let’s discuss the surprising revelation that had everyone talking! Shaniece recently got candid on her podcast, ‘Drop the Lo.’ During this particular episode, she shared her personal experiences and challenges of navigating life as a single parent. “I think it was just such an insecurity of dating as a mom,” she confided to her guest Anansa Sims. Shaniece opened up about her fears that potential partners might not be interested in her because of her new role as a mother.

This revelation caught the attention of social media users, many of whom were puzzled since they believed Shaniece and The Game were in a romantic relationship after welcoming their child in late 2024! Fans even pointed to evidence, such as a cozy picture showing Shaniece sitting on The Game’s lap, both dressed in matching black outfits, leading many to think they were indeed a couple. However, Evelyn’s comments seem to clarify that the two are focused solely on co-parenting while ensuring a supportive environment for Blaze.

The Game Announces the Arrival of Blaze and Shakes Social Media

The Game created a buzz on social media back in December 2024 when he joyfully announced the birth of his son, Blaze. This exciting news came just weeks after he celebrated his 45th birthday. He shared an adorable photo of his newborn, captioning it with heartfelt words, “Beautiful baby overload. ‘Blaze Taylor.’ I love you son.” This announcement not only delighted fans but also marked an important milestone in his life.

Meanwhile, Shaniece radiated happiness in her Instagram Stories, showcasing a stunning snapshot with The Game. She looked fabulous, seated with him, both rocking stylish all-black outfits, which led many to speculate that they were the newest power couple in Hollywood.

However, as Evelyn previously indicated, The Game and Shaniece are currently focused on co-parenting their son, and nurturing their bond as parents seems to be their primary concern at this stage.
