As per the “Many Men” rapper, not being able to meet his son whenever he wanted was the biggest challenge that he faced after parting ways with his former wife, Shaniqua Tompkins.
So what might have happened to ruin the father-son relationship to this extent and what would have caused the feud between them?
What Happened Between 50 Cent And His Son, Marquise Jackson?
Ever since Marquise was young, the relationship between the father-son duo was nothing to adore. Apparently, the strained relationship with his parents has partly pushed him to emerge as his present self.
After 50 Cent and his estranged wife, Shaniqua broke up, he eventually evicted her from their $4 million mansion, located in Long Island. Subsequently, Shaniqua claimed that the luxury home was previously promised to her, which literally reasoned for a post-split-up fight between the former couple.
On May 30, 2008, 50 Cent was out of town as he was filming for a movie in Arizona, Suspiciously, the entire mansion was burnt to the ground that night, which Shariqua claimed was the doings of 50’s ex-girlfriend, who seemingly had the intention of killing both mother and son.
Marquise grew up watching his parents fight over every little thing and eventually chose to side with his mum, picking up the fight between the duo. Apparently, 50 threatened him back in 2012, saying his name will be removed from the will, and also, he chose not to attend Marquise’s high school graduation in 2014.
In 50 Cent’s book, he has written about his failure in making his son understand him a little. He seems to be least bothered by the bad blood between him and his son. According to him, it is too late to have a good relationship with Marquise which until now has made no difference, despite making several attempts to patch it up.
Not long ago, 50 made a controversial comment under a photo of his son posing along with the son of a man, who at some point tried to kill him, saying, “I don’t mind, if either of the two is hit by a bus.” It was more than enough for the netizens to spot the depth of rivalry 50 has for his son.
In 2017, Marquise Jackson in an Interview with Rap-Up revealed that as he grew up, the image of his father in his mind began to change as he started to keenly observe certain patterns that his father followed in his lifestyle. Moreover, Marquise recalled that 50 seemed like a superman in his childhood.
Recently, Marquise appeared in an Instagram live talk session with vlogger Choke No Joke and boasted about the little amount he received in child support from his father.
He said he wasn’t looking for a Lambo, but at least he had to buy basketball socks, implying the support amount he received per month was nearly scarce.
Hearing the sorrow, host Choke No Joke wondered at what age that happened to which Marquise said, “We ain’t gotta worry about the age.”
He then further added, “If you’re not gonna be there mentally and physically, then you at least gotta get your money.”
The question literally made the guy listening ask whether 50 Cent was actually paying him anything.
As per Marquise, child support began when he was barely 10 or 11 and his father thinks 10 years of child support was million dollars, whereas it was actually $6,700 a month. However, that answer again prompted Choke No Joke to ask if the amount was not enough to buy socks.
Eventually, Marquise tried to ignore the vlogger’s scepticism, explaining why the amount was insufficient for him while grooming as a child of a famed rapper. Up on going the video viral, Marquise has been receiving major backlash, whereas his father, 50 Cent was getting much support against the alleged criticism.
