50 Cent and his eldest son Marquise Jackson have had a tumultuous relationship for years. Their vitriol for each other often bleeds into social media, making their private turmoil very public.
During a recent Instagram Live interview with Van Lathan, the television mogul finally explained why they remain estranged.
“It is sad, it’s a sad situation,” Fif said. “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 … His mom developed an entitlement that cannot be met, filtering that energy through his actual personal interests.”
He added there’s also a sense Jackson’s “supposed have more.”
“So, while being a privileged child, he feels deprived,” he continued. “You had everything I didn’t have.”
The saddest moment came when Lathan asked 50 if he still loved his firstborn.
“I used to,” he said. “I didn’t think that success would cost me my firstborn, but it’s the situation it is. 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?’ What he keeps saying is, every time you see the boy he show up with somebody you got a problem with. What does that tell you?”

Finally, 50 brought up the photos Jackson took with the son of Supreme Griff, one of Fiddy’s longtime enemies.
“He’s actually taking pictures with Preme’s son or doing different things,” he said. “I don’t understand where your motivation comes from with these things.”
While someone may consider Jackson to be relatively young, 50 also refused to excuse any of his actions based on his age.
“He’s 23, 24 years old,” he explained. “He’s not a baby no more. That’s a grown man.”

Hey curtis if u have a problem with everyone even your g unit homeboys maybe the problem is YOU
i dont think fifty is as bad as the media would have u believe, he just helps out the wrong ones
Really emotional tbvh I know black women so I believe him on this
unfortunately, yes. i love you black women but we have to be better!
Bihhhhhh..all races have women that do shat…..don’t do the all black woman shat to us. ..all & some two different things…#protectUrSET?
Yep. White bitches with millionaire husbands just as low down. Every race this applies to, and sometimes it goes the other way too with the father.
Black Women have to do better!? She was trying to, but 50’s anger made her into what she is. And his Son Is the Collateral Damage. 50 need to grow up and show his Son how to be a better man than himself. Isn’t that what being a parent is really about? Ijs
One of my cousins has a son like this that he doesn’t much like because the boy got brainwashed by his ex-wife. It just is what it is. I don’t knock 50 for this.
“I didn’t want to have something I didn’t connect with” LMAO. Come on 50 where are your ethics bro? You call a human being, and even worse your flesh and blood SOMETHING LMAO!!!
His son is sounds like a spoiled brat. If 50 was my dad, I would be daily with him learning the game. But if you grow up spoiled rotten, you want it all handed to you.
Exactly. This is a situation of a spurned woman poisoning the child against the father after he has left. In the end the son will recognize this whether sooner or later. Hopefully they then he and his father can patch it up.
That’s a lie..
He has continuously disrespected the child’s mother all over social. media ; no good child would want a relationship with anyone who has the habit of being such an ass to their mother.

Good to hear his side of the story…that’s a sad situation no matter how you look at it…but shit Tommy Lee fights publicly with his son all the time too…It is what it is….I just see 50 getting into too many bouts with people unnecessarily (or it seems that way, if I can give a benefit of doubt) and not being able to handle situations differently.
The reason his son hates him is because 50 burnt down his baby mama house years ago and his son never forgave him for it. 50 was never charged for it but everyone knew he had something to do with it. His baby mama was trying to get a reality show at the time and 50 wasn’t having it.
50 cent could burn both of them up in the house . I really think 50cent get hateful issue with his son.
Awww I really hate to hear about this.
Every one makes mistakes.
You live and you learn
I love 50!
