Marquise Jackson | Before They Were Famous | Why 50 Cent Disown His Own Son?

Before getting wrapped up in a rivalry with his own father,
Marquise Jackson was born on October 13th, 1997 to parents 50 Cent
and Shaniqua Tompkins. Upon his kid’s birth, the world-famous
rapper would credit his son for totally changing his outlook on
life. A noble intent to be sure, but one that wouldn’t exactly come
to fruition. During Marquise’s early years, however, everything
seemed to be going great. Not only would he regularly model for 50
Cent’s G-Unit clothing line, but he’d even walk the runway
side-by-side with his pops on a few occasions as well. In 2009,
when Marquise was only 12, Shaniqua would sue her former spouse,
claiming he had gone back on his promise to “look after” her for
life. As the subsequent court case unfolded, the judge would wind
up dismissing Shanqiua’s demands for $50 Million, instead ordering
the hip-hop mogul to provide around $25,000 per month in child
support to Shaniqua until Marquise’s 18th Birthday in 2015 while
also calling the feud between these former partners, “an
unfortunate tale of a loving relationship gone sour.”
