50 Cent’s relationship with his oldest son Marquise Jackson isn’t the best, and fans got another look into their drama recently.
The G-Unit rapper was once again dragged by his son when Marquise hopped on Instagram Live with entrepreneur and former rapper Choke No Joke to vent his frustrations with his father and his child support payments.
According to the younger Jackson, the $6,700-a-month he received from 50 wasn’t enough to maintain the lifestyle he claimed he needed in New York City.
“$6700 a month in the state of New York City? You do the math,” Marquise told Choke, who said he’s familiar with the numbers as he went to jail over child support payments himself. “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.”
Choke responded by telling Marquise if his dad is putting up $6,700 per month in child support payments, then his mother, Shaniqua Tompkins, must have the other half, making the total monthly child support sum $13,400. Choke argued Tompkins should be responsible for looking after her son also, but Marquise continued to claim the money wasn’t sufficient.
“If I told you right now you gotta start your life over right now with $6,700-a-month and rebuild your life, can you do it?” Marquise asked, to which Choke wasted no time saying he could. “Choke, you gotta stop comparing it. You comparing it to yourself, bro. You’re comparing it to your standard of lifestyle. You can’t do that.”
Marquise added: “I know what it feels like to have nothing, alright? I had to rebuild my life over with $6,700-a-month. $81,000-a-year.”

50 Cent completed his child support payments back in 2017 and celebrated the moment on social media. However, Marquise Jackson didn’t take his father’s reaction too well and clapped back at 50 for trying to make a mockery out of the situation.
The drama between 50 Cent and his son reportedly stems from the rapper’s split from Tompkins. In 2020, 50 spoke about his family drama during an Instagram Live interview with Van Lathan, in which he said Tompkins’ beef with him was inherited by his son.
“It is sad, it’s a sad situation,” 50 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.”
When asked whether there was any type of love still there for his son, even at a distance, 50 Cent admitted there wasn’t.
“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?”
50 Cent Reacts To Proposed Child Support Bill: 'Fuck This'
Years earlier, Marquise Jackson posed for a picture with Supreme McGriff Jr., the son of Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff who had problems with 50 Cent back in the day. The photo circulated on social media in 2018 and once 50 saw it, he publicly disowned his first-born.
“If both these little n-ggas got hit by a bus, I wouldn’t have a bad day,” he wrote under a repost of the picture at the time.
