Um thinking right now he Ghost. Cuz he have the same relationship Ghost have with Tariq. Tariq hate his dad for no reason. Ghost hustled so his family could be good.

[@myfathersson3751]

Facts

[@richietherapper]

This is the realest comment on this entire thread. I mean you don't fix shit by doing some more fucked up shit. Him doing that is evidence that he would kill his own father. We've all had problems with our fathers but you'd never go befriend his enemies unless you want to see him dead

[@ViolentMLG]

@NoNoNoNii Big facts, and you can't expect him to choose 50 over his mom. Maybe one day he'll doubt what he knows and will seek a relationship. When you become a grown man that shit hits you different, especially when you have kids of your own. 50's son don't look like he's growing up anytime soon though, so it might take awhile.

[@virgogypsy743]

@NoNoNoNii but like 50 said at some point you are your own man.. do grown man shit and have the sit down with your dad and make your own decisions about said relationship. Mom's are bad for that thoo . Very annoying .

[@onekingdom9780]

idk black men regardless of the race of the women are bad fathers to their kids if your always the common denominator its u

[@TheAlkebulanTrust]

Facts or facts?...50 Cent is a definition of a hustler. Knowing how to take advantage of opportunities

[@Baggbi]

Always a great interview. If it was 8 hours long I'd listen to the whole thing.... Twice

[@mscupcakedreamson36]

I didn’t feel grown until I turned 33. It just hit me like a brick. I’d been on my own since I was young, because my mom passed. I’d been taking care of myself, but I didn’t realize I was still very young. I made mistakes, and I still make them. I helped raise my nephew, and now he’s 20 years old. He’s doing some of the craziest shit. I’m praying he never sees a jail cell or something worse. I don’t excuse his screw ups, but I don’t act as if he’s not still a child mentally. Please 50, try to build a relationship with your son. I know so many people that regret not having a relationship with their children, but it was too late.

[@rasheemthebestfirstone3274]

I hope he does so his son could act in the new power

[@NikkiM111]

50 always said his bm turned his son against him which always makes me wonder why he didn’t at least get joint custody. His kid is doing wrong but I think he’s been acting out for attention for years. Being privileged doesn’t replace fatherhood. If the kid was being manipulated by his mom and 50 didn’t do anything about it, he only proved his bm right. His son is a man now and responsible for his actions, but if he grew up believing anything bad that’s his mom told him, I could c why he does the things he does. He needs his dad and they’re both too stubborn to say what they feel. I think if he sits down with his son and just says “what did I do to make u feel this way about me” things would get better from there.

[@TexasForever88]

Read his book. Talks in depth on the subject. Takes 2 people to want the same thing for it to work.

Finally someone speaking with some sense! I fully agree 💯

[@uncclelocc]

Females have a powerful influence over male children. Like father's and daughters. It's in a boy nature to protect his mother. You ever knocc on a door in catch a male child ice grilling you. Or try to talk to a female in public with her son...

[@NikkiM111]

I understand it takes two people but I couldn’t imagine growing up thinking my father didn’t care about me or want me. His son is damaged and if u kno ur child is damaged, y not be the bigger person? If 50 had 50/50 custody with his ex and his son was just spoiled and ungrateful then that’s one thing. But if he didn’t spend enough time building a father/son relationship then he failed his child by allowing him to be manipulated by his mom. Just my opinion.

[@MossMediaUK]

Nikki W I was having a heated debate with someone in the comments because my opinions are similar to yours! My children are only going to inherit what they see me do or what I give them! i feel like us as African heritage people don’t teach our youth proper finance in the western world! He treats his son as a bitter friend when really he is a hurt boy! Imagine going to college everyday everyone knowing your some superstar rappers son & you even look like him! I don’t blame him for wanting a couple little chains! I mean he was asking for drip Cus all he see his man do is drip!
