‘Where U Think He Get it From?’: 50 Cent Cracks Fans Up After He Shares His Son’s Christmas Request

50 Cent has two sons. A 22-year-old named Marquise Jackson and a 7-year-old named Sire Jackson. And both have inherited something different from him.

Marquise, whom 50 has been estranged from for years now, got much of his dad’s physical features, and Sire has seemed to acquire his father’s taste for wanting a lot of store items. At least that’s the way it appears, based on a video that 50 posted to Instagram on Tuesday.

In the clip, the “21 Questions” rapper can be seen talking to Sire about Christmas gifts, and the little one didn’t ask for just a couple of presents, he wanted a lot more.

“I want the whole store,” Sire told his dad, who seemed shocked at the request.

“For what? You said you want it for Christmas?” asked 50.

“Yeah,” Sire responded. “I want Toys “R” Us.”

“The whole store?” 50 asked for confirmation.

“Yes, the whole store,” his son answered, which caused the “Power” actor to let out a big sigh and a smile.

He also captioned the video and wrote “😳what you want for Christmas, I WANT THE WHOLE STORE. 👀ok I have to work harder what the f–k, the whole store 😤.”

A lot of 50’s fans eventually weighed in and seemed to be vastly entertained by the clip.

“u said u wanted to be one of the biggest influences in hip hop one day, that was a big statement bacc then but look at you now! Where u Think he get it from????” one person commented.

“He sound like you🤣,” wrote someone else.

“The kid is aware that his dad is capable, 👏👏👏 a third person wrote.

A lot of other people mentioned that Toys “R” Us closed down last year, which is true. The company, which opened its doors in 1948 in Washington D.C., closed 800 stores in 2018. And those same folks said 50 was off the hook as a result.

But on Nov. 30, one store reopened for the holiday season at the Garden State Plaza mall in Paramus, New Jersey.

And the second location will open its doors on Dec. 7 at the Galleria in Houston, Texas. Plus, according to NBC, the company plans to open at least 10 more stores by the close of 2020.

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.
