Rapper The Game, born Jayceon Terrell Taylor, faces the loss of his Calabasas home as part of a prolonged legal dispute with Priscilla Rainey. Rainey, a former contestant on VH1’s “She’s Got Game,” was awarded a $7.13 million judgment in 2016 after accusing Taylor of sexual assault during the show’s production.
Despite the court’s ruling, Rainey has struggled to collect the awarded amount. In 2019, she alleged that Taylor transferred ownership of his home to his manager, Cash “Wack 100” Jones, without compensation, labeling it a “bona fide gift.” Rainey’s attorney, Cristina Vicens Beard, argued that this move was an attempt to shield assets from collection.
Court documents reveal that Taylor’s company, JTT Holdings, was deemed an alter ego, allowing Rainey to pursue the property’s seizure. The Los Angeles County Tax Assessor’s records indicate no homeowner’s exemption on the property, suggesting it isn’t Taylor’s primary residence.
Efforts to Collect Judgment Continue
Rainey’s legal team has accused Taylor of using shell companies, including 5th Amendment Entertainment and F12 & Associates, to divert income and avoid payment. They claim that Taylor has transferred substantial assets to these entities, hindering Rainey’s collection efforts.
In a 2020 court filing, attorney Michael Jason Lee stated, “Post-judgment discovery has revealed that Taylor owns almost no assets under his own name, but assigns his interests to receive revenue to his manager, his manager’s company, and other Taylor-owned holding companies.”
As of late 2023, Rainey had collected approximately $500,000 of the judgment, leaving a significant balance unpaid. She has since hired a private investigator to locate Taylor and serve legal documents related to the property’s seizure.
Taylor has publicly denied the allegations and expressed his intent not to pay the judgment. In a 2016 Instagram post, he stated, “Don’t be fooled by these accusations or the dollar amount in the headlines… this broad ain’t gettin [sic] shit!”
The court has scheduled a hearing to address the potential sale of the Calabasas property. If the sale proceeds, it could cover a portion of the outstanding debt, but Rainey continues to seek full payment of the judgment.
