Marquise Jackson, the son of American rapper 50 Cent, has just made a shocking announcement. Marquise offered to pay his father $6,700 to be with rapper 50 Cent for 24 hours.
Marquise Jackson (25 years old) is the eldest son of rapper 50 Cent (47 years old). Recently, this young man offered to pay his biological father $6,700 to be with his father for a whole day. According to Marquise, this is something he has never had in his life.
Recently, Marquise shared on his personal social media account with the implication of blaming his biological father. This young man said that the $6,700 that rapper 50 Cent had to pay his biological mother every month to support raising his child when he was young was not enough.
Marquise wrote: “My dad thinks $6,700 is a lot of money, someone tell my dad that I’m willing to pay him $6,700 to have 24 hours with him, to do the things I wanted to do with him when I was a kid.”
Last week, Marquise shared in a clip posted on social media that he has a strained relationship with rapper 50 Cent.
Marquise believes that the child support his father used to send his mother every month is not enough: “$6,700 in child support in New York City, if you do the basic math on living expenses, you know that’s not a lot of money.”
The relationship between rapper 50 Cent and his first son has not been smooth, and this has been publicly shared by both parties for the past few years. Rapper 50 Cent once confided: “I never expected that my success in my career would cause me to lose a good relationship with my eldest son. I always had problems in my relationship with Marquise.”
Rapper 50 Cent’s real name is Curtis James Jackson III, he is considered an influential rapper in the hip hop genre. 50 Cent had a bad past, he was a street criminal, used to trade illegal substances, and had dangerous clashes with the underworld.
This caused many difficulties for 50 Cent in pursuing a career as a rapper, but then 50 Cent was able to pull himself out of the quagmire, break away from his criminal past to become a successful rapper in the American music industry. 50 Cent has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and won many music awards in the US.
In 1996, 50 Cent’s then-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins gave birth to his first son, Marquise Jackson. In 2009, Tompkins sued Jackson for $50 million, claiming that 50 Cent had promised to take care of her for the rest of his life but then… broke his promise.
The lawsuit was later dismissed. After that, the two sides often argued in real life and on social media for many years.
Talking about the birth of his first son Marquise, rapper 50 Cent once shared: “When my son was born, my priorities in life changed, because I wanted to have a good relationship with him, something I couldn’t have with my biological father.”
50 Cent once affirmed that it was Marquise’s birth that inspired his career and helped the rapper decide to change his life to leave behind his troubled past.
However, the relationship between father and daughter has been difficult since rapper 50 Cent and Ms. Tompkins split in 2008. Since then, the father and daughter have repeatedly exchanged words and have taken their disagreements to social media. 50 Cent has never been married in his life, and has two sons from two relationships.
