A Look at 50 Cent and Son Marquise's Rocky Relationship and Bitter Exchange

Rapper and Power star 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) and his son, Marquise, have famously not seen eye-to-eye for several years, often taking aim at one another in interviews and on social media.

And now, their rocky relationship is in the spotlight once again after Marquise jabbed at his father on Instagram.

In his post, he offered his father $6,700 to buy back 24 hours of one-on-one time with his father. Marquise, 25, posted the image online after receiving backlash for an Instagram Live video, where he stated $6,700 was not enough money to "maintain his lifestyle."

50 Cent has been paying over $80,000 in child support to Marquise's mother, Shaniqua Tompkins, details TMZ.

Marquise told ex-rapper Choke No Joke: "$6700 a month in the state of New York City, you do the math. 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; $81,000 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."

In his latest Instagram photo, Marquise took inspiration from his father's famous "BROKE" Instagram photo and instead, changed the notes to spell "ENTITLED."

He captioned the image: "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."

In response to Marquise's post, 50 Cent responded via his Power character Kanan, posting a clip from the Starz series where his character kills his son Shaw (Sinqua Walls) after a fight.

He captioned the clip, "No caption needed."

This is not the first time 50 Cent and Marquise have exchanged a harsh set of words in the public eye.

Marquise was born on October 13, 1997, to parents 50 Cent and Shaniqua Tompkins. However, in 2008 50 Cent and Tompkins split, and 11-year-old Marquise was at the center of a long custodial battle. In the end, 50 Cent was granted to see his son one weekend per month.

In February 2017, Marquise released his debut single "Different."

In the song, Marquise reflects on his strained relationship with his father, rapping: "Lost my pops. He's still alive."

In an interview with Rap Up ahead of the release of "Different" Marquise explained their relationship became strained following his parent's separation. He said: "It completely went south when I was probably like 10 or 11. He wasn't really around enough. It kind of dwindled down as time went on and certain events happened.

"For me, I just started feeling differently about him because growing up, my dad was my superhero. He's on television, he does this, he does this, he would take me to school. It was like having a father who's Superman, more or less.

"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."

In a 2014 interview on Philly's Morning Show with Shamara and Laiya, 50 Cent claimed his son had "embraced his mom's perspective on me" which had led to the breakdown of their father-son-relationship.

Shaniqua denied the allegations, blaming 50 for mentally abusing their son.

"You don't have a relationship with my child because you choose not to, you want to bully him, threaten him, and talk about his mother in a disparaging manner" she wrote on Instagram in response to 50 Cent's comments, explains Distractify.

In November 2018, 50 Cent exclaimed on Instagram that he would not have a "bad day" if his son was hit by a bus.

The rapper posted the comment in response to a photograph of Marquise hanging out with his longtime rival Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff. Investigators have alleged McGriff was involved in the plot to kill 50 Cent, leading to the May 2000 shooting.

McGiff is s currently serving a life sentence on unrelated charges.

After receiving backlash online for his comments, 50 Cent took to Twitter to justify his actions.

He wrote: "I have zero ill will towards anyone living on this Earth. The people Shanquois [sic] son looks up to and associates with is a reflection of the negative energy he embraces towards me. I paid his mother $1,360,000 in support to afford him opportunities I never had."

Then, in April 2020, 50 Cent said he would rather have rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine as his son other than Marquise.

In 2019, 6ix9ine pleaded guilty to nine charges, including conspiracy to commit murder and armed robbery, and went on to testify against several members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, working with the prosecution in hopes of receiving a reduced sentence. He received 24 months.

In 2015, he pleaded guilty to a felony count of use of a child in a sexual performance and received a four-year probation period and a 1,000-hour community service order

During an Instagram Live Stream, Marquise was asked about 6ix9ine following his release from incarceration in April 2020 and his move to home arrest. In response, 50 Cent said: "Nah, I ain't heard from 6ix9ine. He's his mother's child now. He told on everybody. He better than Marquise, though. I'll take him before I take my actual biological son."

Marquise responded to his father's comments on his own Instagram Live, stating he wanted no part in his father "claiming a rat" reports Complex.

Newsweek has contacted 50 Cent and Marquise Jackson for comment.
