According to TMZ.com, rap artist The Game got into an altercation with a family member outside of a church where he had just attended his cousin’s funeral. The fisticuffs were over monies the family say Game owed for his half of the funeral expenses.

Robert “Kirky” Kirkwood tells TMZ that when his sister died, The Game — who he says is his first cousin — volunteered to pay half of the $14k it cost to bury her. But Game later changed his mind and also changed his phone number.

Kirky and The Game got into it after the funeral services for Kirky’s sister last Saturday where The Game spoke during the service about family values. Kirky says his cousin punched him in the face during the dust up following the service.

Why is it that funerals bring out the worst in people? Family fighting over money at a funeral is disgraceful! Anyway, Kirky says he’s filing assault charges. I’m sure the lawsuit will be filed any day now.
