Marquise Posts Heartfelt Message—50 Cent Replies With Laughter and Legal Heir Talk

The ongoing public feud between 50 Cent and his eldest son, Marquise Jackson, took center stage once again in June 2025 with a pointed exchange that highlighted the deep rift between father and son. On Father’s Day, June 15, Marquise, now 28, shared a heartfelt Instagram message addressed to his father, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson III, expressing a wish for reconciliation despite years of estrangement. Accompanying the message was a nostalgic photo of the two together, with Marquise writing that he would “settle for the text” since he couldn’t see his dad in person.

50 Cent’s response, however, was dismissive and sharp. Commenting on a now-deleted Instagram post by The Shade Room that had shared Marquise’s message, 50 Cent wrote, “I’m leaving my entire empire to SIRE, lol he don’t even acknowledge this guy,” referring to his younger son, Sire Jackson, aged 12, from his relationship with model Daphne Joy. The remark underscored the fractured relationship with Marquise and made clear where 50 Cent’s loyalties—and inheritance—lie.

The estrangement between father and eldest son has roots dating back to 2008, following 50 Cent’s turbulent split from Marquise’s mother, Shaniqua Tompkins. Marquise has publicly criticized 50 Cent for being an absent father, while 50 Cent has accused Marquise of being influenced by his mother’s bitterness. The feud has played out over social media for years, including a 2020 declaration by 50 Cent branding Marquise “entitled” and effectively disowning him. Marquise, in turn, has made public offers to reconnect, once proposing to pay 50 Cent $6,700 for a day together.

The Father’s Day exchange sparked mixed reactions online. On social media platform X, many users criticized 50 Cent’s cold dismissal, calling it unnecessarily harsh, with comments like, “You don’t do that to your kid, no matter what’s happened. That’s cold.” Others sided with 50 Cent, citing Marquise’s public critiques and asserting the rapper’s right to protect his legacy and family.

This latest incident underscores the enduring complexity of 50 Cent’s family dynamics amidst his ongoing career and business success. While his empire continues to grow, the relationship with Marquise remains strained, with 50 Cent’s focus firmly on his younger son Sire and preserving his legacy for the next generation.
