50 Cent had a brutal response to his son after he requested to spend a day with him.
The rapper’s eldest child took to Instagram last year to say the money his dad paid his mother in monthly child support wasn’t adequate.
And Marquise Jackson then went on to offer 50 Cent $6,700 to spend 24 hours of his time with him in an Instagram post.
The sad image showed Jackson sitting on the floor with $100 dollar notes laid out on the floor to spell: “Entitled.”

For those not in the know, 50 Cent and the 26-year-old haven’t had a relationship for years.
And Jackson referenced it in his debut single ‘Different’ in 2017 where he rapped: “Lost my pops. He’s still alive.”
The post came after an Instagram Live where Jackson seemed to accuse his dad of not paying enough child support to his mom for them to live comfortably.
He said: "$6,700 a month in [...] New York City, you do the math.
"You're talking about a Forbes lister – you're talking about someone that has problems with everybody – you can't just live in any neighborhood, $81K is not a substantial amount of money. You can't just live anywhere."
The 48-year-old responded to his son’s post and requested to spend a day doing ‘everything [Jackson] ever wanted to do with him as a kid’.
The In Da Club rapper took to Instagram a day after Jackson’s post, with a clip from crime drama television series, Power - as well as being an executive producer on the show, 50 Cent played the role of Kanan Stark.
The video 50 Cent shared shows Kanan with his son, Shawn.
The scene sees Shawn saying how he wants to make Kanan proud of him. However, Kanan simply dismisses his son as having 'failed [him] again'.
Warning - Contains violence:
Shawn ultimately realises that despite how he set out to not disappoint his father, the only person who ended up disappointed was himself - Kanan having just used his son to get to Ghost.
Kanan then shoots Shawn in cold blood as he's turning round to leave.
50 Cent has opened up on other occasions about his relationship to his eldest son.
In an Instagram Live in 2020, the rapper matter-of-factly stated: "I didn't think that success would cost me my first-born, but it's the situation it is
"My grandfather used to say, 'If it rattles like a snake and slithers like a snake, is it a snake, or do you need to be bit?' What he keeps saying is, every time you see the boy he show up with somebody you got a problem with. What does that tell you?"
