The Game Shares Touching Story Behind His Real Name

He clearly took the advice and followed in his mother’s footsteps, naming his children unique names such as King Justice, Harlem Caron, and California Dream Taylor. He realized that naming children is not just about making it easy for others to understand, but about giving someone that means a lot to you something meaningful to carry with them. While we say goodbye to The Game with his final studio album, Born 2 Rap, he reminds us in this post that we’ll always see Jayceon around.

2 Jayceon’s in one picture. I remember when I was younger tellin my mama “Why couldn’t I just be Jason or sumn”. She was like “Because, you’re different.. your name is Jayceon & don’t ask me why no got damn more” lol…. My auntie Val used to say “wait til you get in school & all the little girls call ya name “Jayceon” “Jayceon”…… bet you love it then. She was right & from then til’ now I’ve met so many kids named after me & it’s an honor to be able to cross paths with them from time to time. From the 1st “JAYCEON” to the newest born, we fly ? #HappyTuesdayYoungWorld
