In a recent interview with Us Weekly, rapper and media mogul 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, revealed his plans to leave his entire empire to his youngest son, Sire Jackson. This decision has sparked a mix of reactions from fans and the public, especially given the strained relationship between 50 Cent and his eldest son, Marquise Jackson. 50 Cent has amassed significant wealth through his music, television shows, clothing line, and various business ventures. He shared that he intends to pass down his assets to his 12-year-old son, Sire, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy. In the interview, 50 Cent expressed that he has reached a point in his life where he is content with his achievements and wealth, stating, "I've reached a point where I don't want anything I don't have"⁵. He emphasized that his focus is now on building a lasting legacy for Sire. The decision to leave everything to Sire has not come without controversy. Fans have questioned why 50 Cent is not providing for both of his sons.

The rapper's relationship with his eldest son, Marquise, has been tumultuous for years, largely due to conflicts with Marquise's mother, Shaniqua Tompkins. Their disagreements have often played out publicly on social media, further straining their relationship. In a notable incident in 2018, Marquise posted a photo with Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff, a longtime rival of 50 Cent, which led to a harsh response from his father⁵. This ongoing feud has contributed to 50 Cent's decision to focus his legacy on Sire. Despite the criticism, 50 Cent is committed to preparing Sire for the future. He has introduced his son to the basics of financial management and aims to provide him with a strong foundation in the family business. The Sire Spirits brand, named after his son, is one of the ventures contributing to 50 Cent's expanding wealth. As 50 Cent continues to build his empire, he remains focused on ensuring that Sire is well-equipped to carry on his legacy. While the decision has sparked debate, it highlights the rapper's dedication to securing a prosperous future for his youngest son.
