“She Just Wants Money”—Then Why Didn’t He Defend Himself?
“The real story here,” says one legal analyst, “isn’t the judgment. It’s that Taylor had every opportunity to challenge these accusations and chose not to. If he truly believed she was lying, why not file a motion? Why not show up and defend himself?”
Instead, The Game waged a campaign on Instagram and Twitter, calling Rainey “a Waffle House roach” and mocking the judgment. In a 2020 post, he joked, Y’all been saying she got 7 million for 7 years & yet here I am, laid up tipsy off my 5th quarantine watching Tiger King lol.” But in the eyes of the court, the time for jokes is over.
Court Destroys Homestead Exemption Argument
In a last-ditch effort to shield his property, Taylor tried to invoke California’s homestead exemption, which can protect a primary residence from being forcibly sold in some debt cases. But the court rejected the claim.
The judge found that Taylor “does not have a qualifying interest in the Property that would allow him to claim a homestead exemption.” The ruling further noted that the court “does not reach the question of whether [Taylor] has met his burden to prove that he has continuously resided at the property.”
In short: Not only did he fail to qualify under the statute, he didn’t even prove he lived there full time.
The ruling clears the path for Rainey to seize the mansion—a gated 2+ acre estate in Calabasas, boasting sweeping canyon views, a private tennis court, a separate casita, and a current Zillow valuation of $3,983,900.
