How do we know he wasn’t there? I remember him being in the G-Unit videos and ads in the early days of the Unit. If you listened/read 50’s book, he talks about the countless times he’s tried to be there for Marquise. Even the text messages that Marquise leaked shows 50 trying to see him and the nicca was playing games. Outside of the other disappointments, I’m sure 50 is within his right to feel the way he does.
From his own admission of claiming the mom had so much power over his thoughts. If he was present that wouldn’t be the case.
The way he talks about being “there” for him is always about money.
Even the story about the sneakers, he wants to blame everyone else but he didn’t do what he needed to do direct his son the right way.
He says he called him on the phone and shipped him a bunch of shoes, then he didn’t hear from him for a couple weeks. That’s his own damn fault. The dude was a kid. WTF he supposed to do with hundreds of pairs of shoes
I got teenage kids. They need guidance can’t just send them money and expect them to make the correct decisions.
He should have flown himself there. Showed his son how to open the store. Helped him make a webpage etc. That would have been “being present” and would have actually taught Marquise something.
So many fathers think just sending money is doing their part. The money part ain’t shyt. Kids don’t want/need money, they need love and guidance. Then they realize it and actually be a father to their younger kids.
This story plays out over and over again. 50 ain’t nothing but a rich deadbeat when it comes to marquise.
