The rapper “In da Club,” whose true name is Curtis Jackson, is behind some of the most memorable songs of the twenty-first century.
With his TV show Power, in which he both stars and serves as executive producer, he has also found success on the small screen.
50 Cent has also been involved in celebrity feuds throughout his career; in the past, he called Madonna a “grandma.”
It appears that he is currently engaged in a conflict with his son.
50 Cent is undoubtedly a fascinating person.
He released the Columbia Records EP version of his debut album, “Power of the Dollar,” shortly after launching his musical career in the early 2000s.
Fifty Cent was shot not long after it was released.
This meant that, despite the rapper’s perseverance, the entire record was never released.
When 50 Cent dropped the mixtape “Guess Who’s Back?” in 2002, Eminem took notice and signed him to Shady Records.
Since then, he has sold over thirty million records and received almost every industry honor, and his career has only gotten better.
50 Cent has achieved success in the performing arts in addition to the music industry.
The rapper of “Just A Lil Bit” has had success with films like Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (2005), Home of the Brave (2006), and even Righteous Kill (2006), where he costarred with film giants Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.
However, 50 Cent has been involved in several scandals over his career.
And the most recent to surface involves him and his family.
Despite having two sons with two separate women, 50 Cent appears to treat his children extremely differently.
He is devoted to his younger son Sire but estranged from his elder son Marquise (more on him later).
Sire, who was born in September 2012 to 50 Cent, and model Daphne Joy, his girlfriend at the time, is a fan of all the perks that come with being a well-known father.
According to TMZ, 50 Cent reportedly spoilt his son for Christmas 2019 by renting out a whole Toys R Us store for the two of them.
Sire is a kid model as well!
50 Cent stated (via E! News) in an interview with Power 105.1 that “He’s got a [modeling] deal now with Kidz Safe. They paid him a big payment, too. He’s super cute, you gotta pay for it.”
During the 2021 Christmas holiday, the rapper “Window Shopper” again gushed about Sire, posting on Instagram, saying, “Look at my boy, SIRE on some let’s play video games for money DadNo. You ain’t got no money so I can’t win.”
On the other hand, it seems that 50 Cent and his second son have completely different relationships.
Born on October 13, 1996, Marquise has spent more than ten years apart from his father, partly because of the rapper’s turbulent divorce from Marquise’s mother, Shaniqua Tompkins, in 2008.
When Marquise was around ten or eleven years old, “it completely went south,” she admitted to Rap-Up in 2017.
In reality, he wasn’t present enough. It gradually decreased as time went on and certain things occurred.
“But then, as I got older, you start realizing things or you start seeing certain patterns and it takes an effect on your relationship with people.
“That’s what happened with me and my father. He’s still alive but I can’t tell you our last conversation or the last time we even had a dialogue.”
When Marquise posted a photo of himself on Instagram in 2018 with the kid of 50’s rival, Supreme McGriff, things only got worse.
“If both these little n****s got hit by a bus, I wouldn’t have a bad day,” his father said savagely.
“I have no phone number for you and you’ve had me blocked on social media for years so I can’t DM you personally and everybody that is mutual is scared to touch the topic because they’re scared of you,” Marquise said in a follow-up Instagram post.
However, Marquise has now resorted to Instagram to ask to spend the day with his dad, which has made their feud even worse.
He has pursued his father, saying that the child support he was giving his mother each month was insufficient.
Marquise posted a picture of himself on the floor with the word “entitled” written in dollar bills behind him on Instagram. The post was posted to his page.
“Since y’all think $6,700 is sooo much money someone tell my pops I will pay him $6,700 for just 24hr of his time so we can do everything I ever wanted to do with him as a kid. Red Yellow Green whatever color he like,” said 50 Cent’s son in the caption.
Marquise has previously revealed that the rapper was paying $6,700 in child support to his mother each month.
He believes that this wasn’t “substantial” enough, though.
Marquise said during a Choke No Joke Instagram live, “$6,700 a month in… You do the math on New York City.”
“You’re talking about a Forbes lister – you’re talking about someone that has problems with everybody – you can’t just live in any neighborhood, $81k is not a substantial amount of money. You can’t just live anywhere.”
“You talking about you got beef with everybody in the industry, you can’t just live anywhere.”
The host answered Marquise’s question by claiming that Choke would be able to resume his life on a budget of just $6,700 per month.
Jackson was then moved to comment, saying, “Choke you gotta stop comparing it, you comparing it to yourself, bro, you’re comparing it to your standard of lifestyle.”
“You can’t do that. I know what it feels like to have nothing, alright. I had to rebuild my life over with $6700 a month. $81,000 a year.”
In the past, 50 Cent has talked about his tense connection with his son.
He did an Instagram live with Van Lathan and explained: “I didn’t think that success would cost me my firstborn, but it’s the situation it is.”
“My grandfather used to say, ‘If it rattles like a snake and slithers like a snake, is it a snake or do you need to be bit?’.”
“What he keeps saying is, every time you see the boy he show up with somebody you got a problem with. What does that tell you?”
In a rather nasty response to his son’s demand, 50 Cent shared a clip from his program Power.
His character Kanan murders his son in the scenario, and the caption reads, “No caption needed.”
Ouch.
