Rapper Juvenile stayed away from the funeral of his murdered four-year-old daughter Jelani on Saturday.

Jelani, her 11-year-old stepsister Micaiah, and their policewoman mother Joy Deleston were laid to rest in James Island, South Carolina - two weeks after they were found shot dead at their home in Atlanta, Georgia.

Juvenile - real name Terius Gray - missed the service because he feared drawing press attention to the memorial, according to his spokesperson.

Deleston’s son Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr. has been charged with all three murders.
