Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson III, the hip-hop mogul and television producer behind the massive *Power* universe, has built an undeniable empire, but his personal life, particularly his relationship with his children, remains a complex and often public saga. As of late 2025, the narrative is split between a close, financially secure future for his youngest son, Sire Jackson, and a decade-long, highly strained relationship with his eldest, Marquise Jackson. This article provides the most current and comprehensive look at the two sons of one of the world's most successful entrepreneurs. The recent news cycle has kept the Jackson family drama in the spotlight, with the estranged son making headlines just this past June 2025 by publicly trolling his father on Father's Day, reigniting a feud that has been simmering for years. Meanwhile, 50 Cent continues to actively groom his youngest son for a future at the helm of his multi-million dollar business ventures, including his premium liquor brand, Sire Spirits.

The Tale of Two Sons: Estrangement vs. Empire

The relationship between 50 Cent and his eldest son, Marquise Jackson, is one of the most turbulent and public father-son feuds in modern hip-hop history. The estrangement is rooted in the contentious split between 50 Cent and Marquise’s mother, Shaniqua Tompkins, which began when Marquise was around 10 years old. The rift has only deepened over time, with Marquise often speaking out about his lack of a relationship with his father. In a highly-publicized move, Marquise, who is also an aspiring rapper, adopted the moniker "25 Cent," a direct reference to his father's stage name, indicating a desire to forge his own path while acknowledging the shadow of his famous dad.

Marquise Jackson's Latest Public Jab

The feud flared up once again in June 2025 when Marquise took to social media to troll his father on Father's Day. This action is the latest in a series of public exchanges, including a previous instance where Marquise stated he only received $6,700 a month in child support, which he claimed was not enough to live a comfortable life in New York City. 50 Cent, known for his fiery social media presence, has often responded in kind, sometimes even stating he would not be upset if he ran into Marquise on the street, highlighting the severity of their decade-long distance. Marquise has channeled some of this tension into his music, notably with the 2017 release of his single, "Different," which speaks to his unique and complicated upbringing.

Sire Jackson: The $700K Child Model and Future Heir

In stark contrast to the drama surrounding Marquise, 50 Cent’s relationship with his youngest son, Sire Jackson, is demonstrably close and supportive. Sire, whose mother is model and actress Daphne Joy, is the clear focus of 50 Cent’s legacy planning. Sire has already shown a knack for the spotlight, landing a massive $700,000 modeling contract with the audio company Kidz Safe at the tender age of two. This early success was a source of immense pride for his father, who has consistently shown public affection and support for his youngest child's endeavors.

The Sire Spirits Legacy

The depth of 50 Cent’s commitment to Sire is perhaps best illustrated by his business empire. The rapper-turned-mogul named his premium alcohol line, Sire Spirits, after his son. This brand, which includes the successful Branson Cognac and Le Chemin du Roi champagne, is a key component of 50 Cent’s vast wealth and is the very "empire" he has publicly stated he is building specifically for Sire. As of mid-2025, Sire is advancing to the 7th grade, a milestone his father celebrated publicly, emphasizing the normal, stable life he is providing for his youngest son. This focus on a stable future is a central theme in their relationship, which 50 Cent has worked hard to maintain despite the ongoing, high-profile legal issues involving Sire's mother, Daphne Joy, and the broader context of the Rodney Jones lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, where 50 Cent has recently been seeking sole custody of Sire.

The Future of the Jackson Legacy

The Jackson family dynamic showcases a fascinating duality: the self-made billionaire's struggle to connect with his firstborn versus his determined effort to secure a legacy for his second. The estrangement with Marquise is a constant reminder of 50 Cent’s tumultuous past, including his early life in Queens, New York, and the hard-won success of his debut album, *Get Rich or Die Tryin'*. Marquise’s decision to pursue a career in hip-hop, following in his father’s footsteps, creates an almost Shakespearean tension, with the son trying to establish his own name, "25 Cent," outside the shadow of the man who is both his greatest inspiration and his chief antagonist. The future, however, appears to be firmly focused on Sire Jackson. 50 Cent's business acumen and vast portfolio, which spans music, television production (G-Unit Film & Television), and the liquor industry, are all being positioned as a generational transfer of wealth and power. By naming his liquor brand Sire Spirits, 50 Cent has literally branded his legacy with his son's name, ensuring that even as a young teenager, Sire is already deeply embedded in the family’s entrepreneurial future. The ongoing public scrutiny and the recent legal complexities only serve to underscore the intense pressure and privilege that comes with being a child of one of the world's most powerful moguls.
