50 Cent Blames Relationship With Estranged Teenage Son On Baby Mama: ‘She was Getting a Half a Million Dollars a Year’
Sine the beginning of his rap career, 50 cent (real name Curtis Jackson) has consistently been involved in some form of drama or controversy. If it wasn’t rap beef, it was relationship and baby mama turmoil. Lately he’s tried to quiet his dysfunctional lifestyle as he prepares to release his next album Animal Ambition and Starz’s TV show Power. On his press run, Fifty stopped by Philly’s Morning Show with Shamara and Laiya where he was questioned on all the bad in his life. He talked about his relationship with Tony Yayo, non-relationship wit his son, and giving Chelsea Handler a black card. Check out excerpts below.
Relationship With Yayo:
He had an easier perception on how things took place. He looked at it like ‘everything you said worked, you did say in the beginning it worked so cool’. While everything was actually happening I didn’t say ‘go work on your career’ because it’s obvious…I was expecting for us to have that Jay Z experience with Kanye. He stays away from them until they do good enough for him to come back around them again. In the very early stages its an easier choice to make than if you actually grew up with the person. When your first project is the largest debut in hip hop albums, so much momentum around if you go ‘okay next album I’m going to set you up.’ The next record they didn’t want the next G Unit album, they want a 50 Cent album.
On why his teenage son and baby mama distance themselves from him:
He’s completely embraced his mom’s perspective on me, it’s apart of that entitlement that you said it builds. I feel like women require maintenance…that mental maintenance is actually taken care of you can have a woman under any circumstance. You can put her in a room full of billionaires and she’ll be there until she looks down on her watch and says ‘We got to go he might be hungry’. In her case she hasn’t found anyone that’s able to do the maintenance required on her.
On His Baby Mother’s Parenting:
Kids are never equal to parents. So if your mom conditions the child to feel like you should come to them on their terms and everything else that has to be done. Everything in his life, I have provided for him regardless of if I’m there or not. She hasn’t worked since 2000 so tell me how you do that as a single mom…Your being [a] working mom while being a single mom is being a provider in a different way. Her being in the actual home since 2000 living off of what I provide for him is enough for her not to go to actual work so it already takes that pressure off in that way but it still not quite enough. She still would feel like destroying the actual relationship is her way of getting back. She was getting a half a million dollars a year.
Chelsea Handler’s Black Card:
She’s a comedian so she’s going to play with everything that teeders that line of inappropriate.
