50 Cent's son (26) says $81K-a-year child support isn't enough

[Teletubby 149,807]

50 Cent’s eldest son, Marquise Jackson, 26, has said  in an Instagram Live interview with Choke No Joke $6,700 the rapper pays his mother in monthly child support was not enough.

Referencing sky-high rents and living costs, as well as 50 Cent’s high ranking on Forbes’ rich lists and his apparent “beefs” in the music industry, 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 neighbourhood, $81K is not a substantial amount of money. You can’t just live anywhere.

“If I told you right now you gotta start your life over right now with $6,700 a month and rebuild your life can you do it?”

When Choke said he could, Marquise added: “Choke you gotta stop comparing it, you comparing it to yourself, bro, you’re comparing it to your standard of lifestyle.

“You can’t do that. I know what it feels like to have nothing, alright. I had to rebuild my life over with $6,700 a month – $81,000 a year.”

isn't 81k a year above the average US salary though ? according to Numbeo (a cost of living estimator) a family of 4  can live with around 5.2K in NYC without rent, and searching online a 4 room is about 2K a month. And given that he's 26, I assume he's referring to the past, when those costs would be lower discounting inflation.

50 Cent could pay way more than that in child support if the court made him though, and given his life style he should.

Well, it's New York, so he got a point.

He is right. But he should rely on himself.

How is he still getting child support payments at 26?

This, New York is exspensive and that alone wouldn’t be enough, but he could live comfortably outside of the city.

Child support is meant to be support, not the only income received

Why is he receiving child support at 26?

[Togekiss 2,528]

To everyone asking why he’s still getting support: HE’S NOT

He’s talking about money paid to his mother for his support while he was a minor, that’s how child support works.

[Togekiss 2,528]

Honestly it sounds like the real problem is that his mother used the child support payments as their sole household income when it’s intended to be entirely for the benefit of the child. She’s the one who should have gotten a job.

I had to look him up to see if he had a career of his own. I came across this article: 

 

50 Cent Says He 'Wouldn't Have a Bad Day' If His Son Marquise Jackson Got Hit By a Bus

https://people.com/parents/50-cent-son-marquise-jackson-hit-by-bus/

"The people Shanqua’s son looks up to and associates with is a reflection of the negative energy he embraces towards me."

"I paid his mother $1,360,000 in support to afford him opportunities I never had," he added.

……..

 "My relationship with my son is changing because he and his mom aren't friends anymore. There's different channels I have to go through. He has lawyers appointed to him through the court. So I have to talk to his lawyer to get things situated for me to actually get him."

Sounds like the mom was a bit selfish and contributed to damaging the relationship.
