50 Cent's estranged son offers him R121k to spend time with him

Marquise Jackson says he just wants to do all the things that he never got to do with his father as a kid.
50 Cent's 25-year-old son, Marquise Jackson, is putting him on blast for not being there for him when he was a kid.
While the 47-year-old rapper paid his mother, Shaniqua Tompkins, $6,700 (R121, 000) a month in child support, the 'In Da Club' hitmaker did not have a relationship with his son in his teenage years.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, has publicly spoken badly about his son online.
"F**k that n***a," he told his Instagram followers. The rapper blames his son's mother for ruining their relationship, claiming things turned sour when Shaniqua allegedly tried to claim a multi-million Rand home he owned. The house later burned down in a "suspicious" fire and Shaniqua accused 50 Cent of being responsible.
The rapper denied the claims and accused her of poisoning their son against him in a 2008 MTV interview. "I think he doesn't want his mom to feel like he's a traitor," he said.
Shaniqua later claimed that 50 Cent mentally abused and threatened their son.

Marquise opened up about their strained relationship in a recent interview with rapper Choke No Joke. He told the rapper that the $6,700 per month was not enough.
"$6,700 a month in… New York City, you do the math. 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, $81K [a year] is not a substantial amount of money. You can’t just live anywhere," he said.
But many slammed him and urged him to humble himself because $6, 700pm is a lot of money. Some even called him entitled. "If ungrateful was a person. His mom did some serious damage. When he snaps out of it, it’s going to be harsh," one Instagram user wrote.
Marquise clapped back at the haters by making his dad an offer.
"Since y’all think $6,700 is sooo much money someone tell my pops I will pay him $6,700 for just 24hr of his time so we can do everything I ever wanted to do with him as a kid," he wrote on Instagram.

But it looks like 50 Cent has no desire to reunite with his estranged son. Shortly after Marquise shared his post, he took to Instagram to share one of his own.
The rapper shared a clip of his character in 'Power' killing his own son. "No captioned needed," he wrote.
We doubt these two will ever reconcile in this lifetime.
