Popular American rapper and movie producer, 50 Cent has once again opened up on the strained relationship he has with his eldest son, Marquise Jackson.
50 Cent 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.
“It is sad, it’s a sad situation,” 50 replied. “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.”
The rapper 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 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?'”
A month ago, 50 Cent disclosed that he would pick controversial Brooklyn rapper 6ix9ine over Marquise.
“Nah, I ain’t heard from 6ix9ine. He’s his mother’s child now. He told on everybody,” 50 said during an IG Live stream. “He better than Marquise, though. I’ll take him before I take my actual biological son. Fuck that n***a.”
