50 Cent slams own son Marquise, 22, and says he’d rather have criminal Tekashi 6ix9ine as a child
RAPPER 50 Cent has suggested he would rather have Tekashi 6ix9ine as his son than his own biological son, Marquise.
Marquise, 22, and his father - real name Curtis Jackson III - have been at odds over the rapper's treatment of Marquise's mother, and during an Instagram Live on Wednesday, 50 revealed that the pair are no closer to resolving their differences.
The 44-year-old artist has often called Tekashi - real name Daniel Hernandez - his "son", and after a fan asked if he had seen the young musician since he left prison, 50 said: " ah, I ain’t heard from Tekashi.
"He’s his mother’s child now. He told on everybody."
He then added: "He better than Marquise, though. I’ll take him before I take my actual [son]... f*** that n****."
In response, Marquise shared a video in which he asked in disbelief: "Did he just say he'd claim a rat? Oh no, I don't know what you got going on over there! Stupid!"
Fiddy and his eldest child have had a strained relationship since 2008, following a bitter break up with Marquise’s mom, Shaniqua Tompkins,
Fiddy and Shaniqua became involved in a bitter dispute over a $4milllion home, which he tried to evict the pair from; Shaniqua always claimed he had promised to give the house to her.
The animosity between father and son escalated after reports emerged that when Marquise was 16, the rapper texted his son vile and threatening messages.
One of these messages allegedly said: "I’m taking you and your mother’s daughter out of my inheritance."
A year later, the rapper was accused of sending more abusive messages to his son when he refused to come out of his house to greet him.
In 2018 Fiddy shocked fans when he claims he “wouldn’t have a bad day” if the now 22-year-old was hit by a bus.
After receiving a barrage of comments in return saying he was being disrespectful, Fiddy elaborated his thoughts in a tweet saying: “I have zero ill will towards anyone living on this Earth.
“The people Shanquois [sic] son looks up to and associates with is a reflection of the negative energy he embraces towards me.
“I paid his mother $1,360,000 in support to afford him opportunities I never had.”
