50 Cent has checked his son for betting his money while playing a basketball game, though the outcome ended up working in the mogul’s favor.
On Wednesday (February 21), the New York City rapper and businessman shared a clip of 11-year-old Sire Jackson negotiating the terms of a free throw while already being down $500.
“I’m going to call your dad and I’ma tell him to give me my money,” the person recording the clip laughingly told the kid. “You’re betting your dad’s money right now.”
In the caption, he wrote: “Just in, SIRE caught gambling with my money [suspicious emoji] his ass better made that shot !”
Fortunately for Fif, his son went on to make the shot to erase his debt and earn an additional $100 – had he not, Sire would’ve had to owe $1,100 to his challenger.
Check out the clip below:
Last year, while 50 Cent was busy easing his way back into rapper mode on his Final Lap Tour, he took a moment to appreciate the important things in life. In mid-August, the G-Unit mogul shared a photo on Instagram of his son and marveled at how quickly he’s growing up before his very eyes.
The picture showed the then-10-year-old rocking dreadlocks and white Air Jordan IIIs while stood next to an older boy.
“Look how big my baby got, SIRE this is crazy he eating that filipino cuisine,” 50 joked in the caption.
He wasn’t the only one who couldn’t believe how fast the child was maturing as Busta Rhymes, Tony Yayo and TDE honcho Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith all commented on the 48-year-old’s post.
“That is NOT that lil baby!!” one follower wrote in astonishment. “Omg he grew up too fast! So cute.”
Sire Jackson was born in September 2012 to 50 Cent and Daphne Joy, a Filipino and Puerto Rican model and actress who the Queens, New York rapper briefly dated in the early 2010s.
Despite his strained relationship with his eldest son, Marquise Jackson, 50 has long been a doting father to Sire. In 2017, he named his Sire Spirits company after his son and gave him his debut movie role in last year’s horror flick, Skill House, which he starred in and co-produced.
Why does it sound like a teenager hustling this young dude? Glad he made the shot. But still. 50 being a hustler prob like he gon learn. You want in with the wolves, best come out as part of the head of the pack. I don’t want Sire to be the next YK Osiris. 50, Bless the young man with your knowledge and wisdom. These streets ain’t safe.
