Multi talented American entertainer and entrepreneur, Curtis James Jackson III, better known by his stage name 50 Cent, in an IG live addressed his strained relationship with his eldest son, Marquise Jackson.
The American rapper, who recently released a new book titled Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter, joined Van Lathan on XXL’s IG for an interview on Tuesday night.
During the chat, 50 was asked about his long-lasting feud with his son, Marquise Jackson.
“It is sad, it’s a sad situation,” 50 said when asked about Marquise.
“When you pray for success, you don’t necessarily pray for the things that come with it. It’s no such thing as success without jealousy without envy or entitlement.”
50 went on to say that he paid over $1 million in child support and that Marquise “had everything he didn’t have.”
When Lathan asked if he loved his son, 50 said that he “used to.”
50 continued, “I didn’t think that success would cost me my firstborn but it’s the situation it is. Like, my grandfather used to say, ‘If it rattles like a snake and slithers like a snake, is it a snake or do you need to be bit?’”
