On May 19, Hip-Hop mogul 50 Cent’s son Marquis Jackson graduated from high school. No stranger to controversy, the Hip-Hop superstar did not attend his son’s graduation. Despite being in the public eye, the worldwide rap icon does not want some of his personal life to be out for the public to see.
“I don’t need an explanation. My personal life, there’s portions of it that are supposed to actually be personal. And your actual life as an entertainer is a whole ‘nother portion of your life,” said 50 Cent on the show 106 and Park, reported by MTV.
Shaniqua Tompkins, mother of Marquis, has had a history of not getting a long with his father 50 Cent. Their feuds have often been in the public eye. The musician often criticizes Tompkins being the reason there is a rift between him and his son.
However, last summer Marquis Jackson and his father had a very angry conversation via text message. The text messages were leaked, and since that point in time the relationship between the two have not been great at all according to Mada Menoire.
One of the biggest names in the rap game has had issues throughout his whole career. Usually his problems are with fellow a peer in Hip-Hop battling for who is the best. Having a better relationship with his son seems to be a battle he does not want to participate in at the moment.
