50 Cent Says He’d Have No Problem With His Son Being Hit by a Bus, and Some Fans See Why

Savage.

That could be a word to describe a message that 50 Cent recently posted about his son Marquise Jackson.

Not too long ago, a photo surfaced of Marquise standing with a young man named Kyle, who’s said to be the son of former Queens, New York, drug lord Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff.

In 2007, McGriff received a life sentence for his alleged crimes, and since he’s from the same neighborhood as 50, their history and beef run deep. Supreme also had close ties with 50’s longtime enemies Ja Rule and Irv Gotti.

In fact, it’s been rumored that McGriff had 50 shot several times in 2000, a persistent and well-documented claim over the years since then.

“If both these little n—– got hit by a bus, I wouldn’t have a bad day,” wrote 50 underneath the photo of Marquise and Kyle.

Now, some may ask why Marquise would stand with McGriff’s son in the first place.

That’s because he and his dad haven’t gotten along for many years. In the past, Fif  insulted Marquise on social media, called his mother all kinds of nasty names during exchanges and even threatened to shoot him back in 2015, which he caught backlash for.

But this time, the opinions were split about what 50 wrote under Marquise and Kyle’s photo.

“He took a pic with the dude’s son who got him shot 9 times,” someone wrote.

“I’m from Queens,” wrote another. “This is the ultimate betrayal. [Kyle’s] father might have something to [do] with 50 Cent’s mom’s death.”

“So I would speak to my child offline, because that still is a thing and explain the history,” another person suggested. “But I’m not wishing death on my child because of my faults as a parent.”

Marquise has yet to comment on his dad’s message.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
