Why Does 50 Cent Seem to Dislike His Son? Is He in the Wrong?

The ongoing feud between 50 Cent and his son, Marquise Jackson, continues to make headlines. Recently, while under quarantine, the rapper made controversial remarks comparing his own son to Tekashi 6ix9ine, a notorious figure in the music industry known for cooperating with authorities.

This statement has sparked questions about the tumultuous relationship between 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) and his 22-year-old son. But why does 50 Cent harbor such animosity towards his own flesh and blood?

Their relationship wasn’t always so strained. When Marquise was born, 50 Cent expressed a desire to be a better father than his own absent dad. However, things took a turn for the worse over the years, particularly amid a public dispute in 2008 between 50 Cent and Marquise’s mother, Shaniqua Tompkins, over a property in Long Island.

Blame has been thrown back and forth between 50 Cent and Shaniqua, with allegations of mental abuse towards Marquise being levied against 50 Cent, while he accuses Shaniqua of poisoning Marquise’s perception of him. This blame game has played out not only in public spats but also in leaked texts between 50 Cent and Marquise, where the rapper expressed hurtful sentiments towards his own son.

Despite attempts to clarify these messages as exchanges with Shaniqua rather than Marquise himself, the damage to their relationship seems irreparable. Marquise has publicly criticized his father, and 50 Cent has disowned him on social media, even going as far as to question his paternity.

In contrast, 50 Cent maintains a loving relationship with his younger son, Sire, with ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy, which likely exacerbates the tension between him and Marquise.

In light of these developments, it’s clear that their relationship is fraught with pain and resentment. Whether they can ever reconcile remains uncertain, but hopefully, they can eventually find common ground and mend their broken bond.
