“$6700 a month in the state of New York City, you do the math,” Marquise, 25, said.
50 Cent’s son says the USh25 million per month his father gives him is 'too little'
Marquise Jackson, who is the eldest son of Curtis "50 Cent"“ Jackson, logged onto Instagram Live to say that the $6700 a month (USh25,720,574.26) he receives from his father as child support is not enough to sustain the lifestyle he feels he deserves because he’s 50 Cent’s son, and thanks to the high cost of living in New York, USA.
“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.”
Marquise calls “inadequate” the amount of money he receives from his father.
“If I told you right now you gotta start your life over right now with $6700 a month and rebuild your life can you do it,” Marquise added.
“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. I know what it feels like to have nothing, alright,” Marquise said. “I had to rebuild my life over with $6700 a month. $81,000 a year.”
50 Cent responds
Shaniqua Tompkins is Marquise’s mother and 50 Cent has never hidden his loathing for her and her son. In 2020, during an Instagram Live interview with Van Lathan, 50 Cent was unsparing in his attack on Tompkins.
“It is sad, it’s a sad situation,” 50 lamented. “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.”
I don’t love my son
“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?” asked 50 Cent.
50 Cent’s allusion to a snake arises from a photo that Marquise posed in with Supreme McGriff Jr., the son of Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, who had previously went to war with 50 Cent.
