Evelyn Lozada and Shaniece Hairston didn’t hold back on internet rumors in a recent episode of their podcast ‘Drop the Lo.’ Lozada talked about bedroom chatter about her and stars like Marc Anthony, while also putting her daughter in the hot seat over her pregnancy with The Game. As previously reported, Shaniece revealed she welcomed a son named Blaze in October, and in December, he confirmed he’s the daddy with an adorable photo and message. Their pregnancy gagged social media, and users quickly questioned whether Shaniece Hairston betrayed Game’s ex-fiance, Tiffney Cambridge. Since folks are still on the topic, the mother and daughter cleared the air!

To recap, Tiffney Cambridge and The Game were in a serious relationship that resulted in their two children, son King Justice and daughter Cali Dream. He also has an older son named Harlem from a previous relationship. Fans watched Cambridge and Game’s engagement play out on the VH1 series, ‘Marrying The Game’ in 2012. However, before they could wed, Tiffney called off the wedding.
So, where are the betrayal rumors from? Well, Evelyn Lozada and Tiffney have run in the same circles. Cambridge even attended Evelyn’s baby shower for her 11-year-old son Carl Leo Crawford Jr. Fast-forward to last year, Shaniece welcomed Blaze, and briefly teased a romance with Game in December before confirming she’s a single mother in May 2025. Given the familiarity, fans have given the mother-daughter duo the side-eye over the romance-turned-coparenting situation.
On their podcast, Evelyn and her daughter made it clear that Lozada was not best friends with Cambridge. Shaniece also pointed out that the baby shower was over a decade ago.
“It’s not like you guys were best friends. It wasn’t my friend,” Shaniece said, emphasizing that she doesn’t feel “any kind of way.”
Evelyn called the rumors that her daughter had a baby with her best friend’s ex-fiance a misconception. She said Tiffney is an “amazing woman” but clarified that they didn’t “share a space like that.” The mother also said that The Game, who is 14 years older than Shaniece, was not around her as a child or inappropriate with her. If you’ve heard that there’s a photo of her sitting on The Game’s lap as a teen, Shaniece says it’s a lie!
As the internet debates Shaniece’s comments, The Game largely stayed out of the conversation. Rather than defend either of his co-parents, the rapper showed love to his youngest mini-me days after Hariston went viral. On Sunday (August 3), he shared an adorable new photo of Blaze Taylor strapped inside a stroller. In the caption, Game wrote, “Sunday stroll. Literally.”
As mentioned, Shaniece Hairston confirmed two months ago that she and The Game are solely co-parents. While she didn’t name him, on a podcast episode with her mom, Shaniece said she’s “now a single mom.” At the time, she said dating as a mom is an insecurity of hers. Soon after that episode, The Game shared a post about dating that got a few side eyes. On IG Story, he wrote: “Its dark out here fellas our options are: Deal with a KRAZZYYYY a** loyal chick or a SUPER kool h**.”Tiffney Cambridge still has not said a word on the viral conversation about whether she was betrayed!
