50 Cent is clearly enjoying his summer and recently spent the day with his seven-year-old son, Sire, out near the water! In a rare photo of the youngster that 50, born Curtis James Jackson III, 45, shared to his personal Instagram account, the father and son appeared to be sitting at a table in a restaurant right on the water. The two looked so sweet, with 50 wrapping his arm around Sireās waist as they chatted.
The rapper looked like such a doting dad, gazing at his son with complete focus and love. Sire couldnāt help but beam at his father, resting his arm on 50ās shoulder. āMe and little Big man SIRE,ā 50 captioned the endearing photo. Itās very rare to see 50 out with his youngest son, whom he shares with Daphne Joy. But it is so clear that when these two are together, they completely light up!
Unfortunately, that same kind of sweetness hasnāt been extended to 50ās eldest son, Marquise Jackson, 22. For years, 50 and Marquise have been in an intense feud, and it doesnāt appear to be letting up any time soon. In fact, 50 spoke about his estranged relationship with Marquise during a May 5 Instagram Live chat with XXLās Van Lathan. āIt is sad, itās a sad situation,ā the rapper confessed.
āWhen you pray for success, you donāt necessarily pray for the things that come with it. Itās no such thing as success without jealousy, without envy, or entitlement. ā¦ His mom [Shaniqua Tompkins] developed an entitlement that could not be met,ā he continued. ā[Marquise] had everything I didnāt have,ā said the rapper, who revealed that heās paid over $1 million in child support. āSo, with [Marquise], I noticed over the yearsā¦I blamed it on his mom for a long time. But, itās not his mother. Itās him. Iāve gone to places where he was at, and he left.āWith so much tension between the two, 50 doesnāt appear to have any plans on building a tight bond with his eldest. A source close to the rapper even corroborated what fans had already assumed, sharing EXCLUSIVELY with HollywoodLife that ā50 doesnāt plan to reconcile with his son at all or ever again, as it has been years since this has all started.ā Although his relationship with Marquise is on the rocks, fans are still happy to see 50 bonding with his youngest, Sire.
