The years-long altercation between 50 Cent and his son, Marquise Jackson, is still going hard. While under quarantine, the “In Da Club” rapper compared his 22-year-old lookalike son to Tekashi 6ix9ine, who was just released from prison after cooperating with authorities.
“He better than Marquise though. I’ll take him before I take my actual [son],” he told his followers on Instagram Live. “F–k that n—a.” In response, Marquise shot back at his famous father, saying, “Did he just say he would claim a rat? Aww nah, I want no part to that cheese. I don’t know what y’all got going on over there. That’s some other s–t. Stupid!”
So, why does 50 Cent hate his son?
There wasn’t always bad blood between 50 (real name: Curtis Jackson) and his elder child. In fact, when Marquise was born, 50 opened in an interview that his life swapped for the better.
“When my son came into my life, my priorities swapped, because I wanted to have the connection with him that I didn’t have with my dad,” he said, of his son with former-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins. 50 Cent even has a tattoo of Marquise on his right bicep.
50 Cent blames his baby mama for the drama between himself and Marquise.
Stuffs began to go downhill in the connection in 2008, when 50 and Shaniqua began official fight over his $4 million home in Long Island. As per to Shaniqua, 50 vowed her for the house, and when it burned down, she asserted that 50 was involved in the arson.
50 Cent went on to sued his ex for defamation.
In a year 2014 interview with Philly’s Morning Show with Shamara and Laiya, 50 Cent asserted his son “embraced his mom’s perspective on me,” which ruined their connection.
