‘Boy Done Hit a Growth Spurt Overnight’: 50 Cent Seemingly Points Out His Son’s ‘Little Mustache’ In Recent Photo

50 Cent‘s 7-year-old son Sire Jackson is growing up so fast! On Saturday, Aug. 15, the 45-year-old rapper took to Instagram, where he shared two photos of his baby boy and suggested in his caption that Sire has facial hair.

Captured from the side, one image shows Sire sipping on a cool drink from McDonald’s, while wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with khaki pants. The young model wore a black mask underneath his chin and his natural curls were styled to perfection. The G-unit mogul wrote in his caption: “šŸ‘€is that a little mustache coming in šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø this kid growing fast.”

Almost instantly, people gravitated toward the photo and expressed the idea that Sire was growing before their eyes. One user wrote underneath the image, “He stretching out too! Time is just flying byšŸ”„,” followed by someone else who mentioned, “I mean…. boy done hit a growth spurt overnight..šŸ’ŖšŸ¾the world is yours.” A third user said: “Omg šŸ‘€ looks like it 😳🤭🤣.” But another person commented on 50 Cent’s estranged relationship with his oldest son Marquise Jackson, asking: “Yo where is your older son? You know the one who looks IDENTICAL to you?? Just curious.”

50 Cent and Marquise have had a rocky relationship for nearly two years. The New York native revealed in a May interview with XXL magazine reporter Van Lathan that he felt his success tarnished his relationship with Marquise. He claimed that Marquise’s mother Shaniqua Tompkins changed once he got famous, explaining that she felt a sense of entitlement and transmitted that energy to their son. 50 Cent then went on to suggest that his firstborn son would leave events as soon as he saw the “In da Club” artist come through the door.

On the other hand, 50 Cent has a great co-parenting relationship with Sire’s mother, Daphne Joy. The executive producer of “Power” and the model dated back in 2011, and Daphne gave birth to their son in 2012.

50 Cent has moved on since their split. He is currently in a relationship with model Jamira ā€œCuban Linkā€ Hainre.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
