Marker was featured on a recent episode of the popular reality television program on VH1, “Marrying The Game,” showing “The Game” and Tiffney a new five-bedroom estate in Calabasas.

While the couple both enjoyed the home, especially the ample closet space and a sun-filled den that “The Game” saw had immediate potential as a man cave, they were unable to agree on whether it was time to move forward.
