50 Cent’s oldest son, Marquise Jackson, is following in his dad’s rapping footsteps — but he may not be crediting his father as one of his inspirations.
Jackson just dropped his debut single, “Different,” on Monday (Feb. 6), which happened to be the 14th anniversary of 50’s debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Rather than honoring his dad with the song, though, Jackson took the opposite approach and totally called 50 out for not having the best relationship with his son.
“Lost my dad, he’s still alive,” Jackson raps. The song is inspired by Dr. Dre’s 2001 track “What’s the Difference” (which featured Eminem and Xzibit).
