50 Cent has reignited his long-running feud with his eldest son after responding to an emotional offer from him with a savage social media post.
The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has enjoyed enormous success in both music and television, selling more than 30 million records worldwide and starring in hit series Power.
However, his relationship with his oldest son, Marquise Jackson, has remained fractured for more than a decade.
Marquise, who was born in 1996, has previously blamed the breakdown in their relationship on the aftermath of 50 Cent's split from his mother, Shaniqua Tompkins.
"It completely went south when I was probably like 10 or 11," Marquise told Rap-Up in 2017.
"He wasn't really around enough. It kind of dwindled down as time went on and certain events happened."
He continued: "But then, as I got older, you start realising things or you start seeing certain patterns and it takes an effect on your relationship with people.
"That's what happened with me and my father. He's still alive but I can't tell you our last conversation or the last time we even had a dialogue."
The relationship appeared to deteriorate even further in 2018 after Marquise shared a photo with the son of Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff, one of 50 Cent's longtime rivals.
The rapper commented beneath the post: "If both these little n****s got hit by a bus, I wouldn't have a bad day."
Marquise later responded publicly, writing: "I have no phone number for you and you've had me blocked on social media for years so I can't DM you personally and everybody that is mutual is scared to touch the topic because they're scared of you."
The latest chapter in their public feud began when Marquise revisited the topic of child support.
In an Instagram post, he shared a photo of himself sitting beside the word "entitled," spelled out using dollar bills.
In the caption, he made an emotional offer to his father.
"Since y'all think $6,700 is sooo much money someone tell my pops I will pay him $6,700 for just 24hr of his time so we can do everything I ever wanted to do with him as a kid. Red Yellow Green whatever colour he like."
Marquise has previously argued that the $6,700 his father allegedly paid each month in child support was not enough given his wealth and profile.
Speaking during an Instagram Live with Choke No Joke, he said: "$6,700 a month in… New York City, you do the math.
"You're talking about a Forbes lister – you're talking about someone that has problems with everybody – you can't just live in any neighborhood, $81k is not a substantial amount of money. You can't just live anywhere.
"You talking about you got beef with everybody in the industry, you can't just live anywhere."
When the host suggested he could survive on that amount, Marquise disagreed.
"Choke you gotta stop comparing it, you comparing it to yourself, bro, you're comparing it to your standard of lifestyle," he said.
"You can't do that. I know what it feels like to have nothing, alright. I had to rebuild my life over with $6700 a month. $81,000 a year."
50 Cent has previously admitted that fame has come at a personal cost.
During an Instagram Live with Van Lathan, he reflected on his relationship with Marquise, saying: "I didn't think that success would cost me my firstborn, but it's the situation it is."
He also recalled advice from his grandfather.
"My grandfather used to say, 'If it rattles like a snake and slithers like a snake, is it a snake or do you need to be bit?'"
He added: "What he keeps saying is, every time you see the boy he show up with somebody you got a problem with. What does that tell you?"
After Marquise's latest post, 50 Cent appeared to respond in his trademark blunt fashion.
Rather than issuing a direct statement, the rapper uploaded a clip from Power showing his character, Kanan, killing his own son.
He accompanied the video with the caption: "No caption needed."
