Curtis Jackson, US rapper known professionally as 50 Cent, has hinted there is no chance of a reconciliation with Marquise Jackson, his estranged son, after stating that he ‘used to’ love his eldest child.
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.
“It is sad, it’s a sad situation,” he 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.”
He 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, the rapper said that he “used to.”
He 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?”
Last month, the rapper disclosed that he would pick controversial Brooklyn rapper 6ix9ine over his own son, 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.”
When he was asked if he thinks Tekashi 6ix9ine would be successful as a rapper, he went on to say yes.
The pair’s relationship began to deteriorate in 2008 when 50 Cent, split from Marquise’s mother Shaniqua Tompkins.
