As a child, 50 Cent’s son, Marquise Jackson, expresses dissatisfaction with the $6,700 per month child support his father’s wealthy father provided to his mother, Shaniqua Tompkins. Marquise, now 25, states that living on that amount was challenging during his childhood.
50 Cent, also known as Fiddy, faced a $50 million lawsuit from Tompkins in 2009, claiming she was accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle. However, the case was later dismissed by a judge.
Marquise, now an adult living independently, holds resentment toward his father for what he perceives as insufficient financial support during his childhood. In an interview with YouTuber Choke No Joke, Marquise expresses his belief that he and his mother should have been able to enjoy the same lifestyle as his multimillionaire father.
Their current relationship is tense, occasionally leading to public exchanges on social media. Marquise emphasizes that the $6,700 monthly support was inadequate even for basic necessities like sports socks when he was a child.

“I should not lack anything. I don’t mean I want a Lamborghini. I wanted at least socks at the time. It costs $12 for basketball socks. I shouldn’t be short on anything,” Marquise tells Choke No Joke during the interview.
Choke attempts to provide perspective, suggesting that many people receive much less in child support, but Marquise responds by recounting difficult experiences, including a house fire that compelled them to start over with only $6,700 per month.
Despite the financial challenges, Marquise underscores the emotional and physical difficulties he faced, emphasizing that the amount was insufficient for a comfortable life. The interview sheds light on the complex dynamics of their father-son relationship and the lingering impact of financial matters on their interactions.
