50 Cent Blocks His Ex’s Planned Reality Show: ‘Go Get a F***ing Job!’

50 Cent caught wind of his oldest son’s mom’s plans to have a reality show and the rapper has apparently shuttered that idea.

It had been reported that Shaniqua Tompkins, mom of 20-year-old Marquise Jackson, and Nas daughter’s mother, Carmen Bryan, were gearing up to launch a reality show together. Bryan told “Mara The Hip-Hop Socialite” Tuesday it will be “based on urban women in business empowering one another.”

Bryant added that the show is “a spin on black excellence” that will feature “women in an organic environment that can come together, inspire one another, work on their brands and their businesses.” She also said the goal is to show Black women in a positive light.

A day later on Wednesday, Sept. 26, 50 shared a series of photos on his Instagram page indicating he was able to but a halt on Thompkins’ and Bryant’s family and career-focused show.

“Swipe left l was just telling my man @arimelber about the madness that goes on, when we pray for success, we don’t pray for jealousy, envy or entitlement but they come with it,” 50 said of a conversation with lawyer and MSNBC host Ari Melber. “Ari l have to say this in a way she can understand me. 🤨look b—- go get a f—ing job, l own your life rights reality Tv is a no go. l don’t know what to tell you, oh go shake your new fake ass over at club Angels 😒”

Fans who caught the major dig promptly began chiming in in support of the rapper.

“Shop closed…🤣😂😅👂🏾👀”

“😂😂😂 DAMN!!! POWER at its BEST! She tried it tho 😭😭😭🤦🏽‍♀️… 50 stopped da bag! Child support ran out! S— got real!”

“These b—-es man I tell ya smh 🤦🏾‍♂️ just dum af”

“😭😭😭😭i couldnt agree more desperate times call for desperate measures… should’ve managed your vaginas better #Team50 💪🏾.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
