The rocky relationship between rapper 50 Cent and his son, Marquise Jackson, hit the news when 50 Cent responded harshly to Marquise's $6,700 offer to spend time together.
The lack of interaction since childhood has strained their father-son relationship.
Marquise, who is 27 years old, is the son of 50 Cent and Shaniqua Tompkins.
The relationship between 50 Cent and his son, Marquise, has been difficult. Marquise said their bond got worse when he was about 10 or 11 years old.
He explained that his father not being around had a big effect on their relationship because he used to see 50 Cent as his hero when he was a kid.
Marquise tried to reconnect with his father by using Instagram.
He shared a picture where he arranged cash on the floor to spell the word 'entitled.'
He offered to pay $6,700 for a whole day with his father.
The idea behind this offer was to do things together that they missed out on when Marquise was a child.

However, 50 Cent responded in a rather harsh manner.
He took to Instagram the following day and shared a clip from the crime drama television series he was involved in, Power.
The scene depicted a father dismissing his son, implying that the son had failed him.
Many interpreted this post as a direct response to Marquise's offer.
Marquise also claimed that his father had blocked him on social media, adding to the conflict.
He posted several pictures of them together, highlighting moments they shared, and expressed his frustration about not being able to talk to 50 Cent directly.
Marquise stressed that his goal was not to ask for money but simply to have a face-to-face conversation with his father.
The story of 50 Cent and his son has attracted attention on social networks.
In the comments selection, many different opinions about their father-son relationship.
50 said previously that his son hangs with people he asked him not to. I believe its people that are associated with the ones that shot him. His son traded his friends for his father, one user said.
He just wants some love from his dad, the second said.
Sometimes money cannot replace love, happiness. Not even time. If you were not in the child’s life from day one then that’s where the fault lies. Coming back 20 years later the child wont have respect for you. Because by then he/she is an adult, another wrote.
Why do people communicate with their loved ones through other ways than actual speech?Y’all are both dumb, someone commented.
