In an unfiltered conversation with Forbes’ Brian J. Roberts, 50 Cent delved deep into his thoughts on family size, contrasting his own choices with those of fellow artist Nick Cannon. With a successful career spanning decades, 50 Cent has maintained a relatively small family despite his larger-than-life persona.
50 Cent Questions Nick Cannon’s Decision to Have 12 Kids
In a recent Forbes interview with contributor Brian Roberts, 50 Cent couldn’t help but weigh in on Cannon’s expansive family life. The Queens-born rapper, known for his candid and often humorous takes on various topics, shared his thoughts on Cannon’s decision to father 12 children with six different women over the past 12 years.
“I don’t want the responsibility of that many women that you got to deal with emotionally, especially after they don’t feel like your friend anymore,” 50 Cent said. “That’s too much. I don’t know what the f*ck is wrong with Nick Cannon.”
To provide context, Cannon’s family life is indeed extensive. He shares his parental responsibilities across multiple women, including ex-wife Mariah Carey, with whom he has 12-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe.
He also has children with model Brittany Bell (11-month-old Rise, 2-year-old Powerful Queen, and 6-year-old Golden), radio personality Abby De La Rosa (9-month-old Beautiful and 2-year-old twins Zion and Zillion), model Alyssa Scott (8-month-old Halo), Selling Sunset star Bre Tiesi (1-year-old Legendary), and model LaNisha Cole (11-month-old Onyx).
In contrast, 50 Cent’s family dynamic is relatively modest. He shares a 10-year-old son, Sire, with actress-model Daphne Joy, and a 26-year-old son, Marquise Jackson, with former partner Shaniqua Tompkins. His decision to maintain a smaller family size aligns with his comments on the emotional responsibilities that accompany a larger brood.
50 Cent Makes It Clear That He’s Not Bashing Nick Cannon
Despite the recent comments he made, it’s important to note that what 50 Cent said about Cannon came with a touch of humor and self-awareness. The rapper was quick to correct himself, attributing the candid remarks to his “old” persona, suggesting personal growth and change over the years. It’s a reminder that individuals, even those in the public eye, evolve and mature.
This exchange between 50 Cent and Cannon adds another layer to their long-standing history of light-hearted banter and teasing. Cannon, famous for his wit, has occasionally poked fun at 50 Cent’s physical appearance in recent years, sparking playful exchanges between the two.
Despite the ribbing, 50 Cent had previously stated that he had no intention of responding to Cannon’s comments, considering him “legendary corny.” It’s a testament to the varied personalities that make up the entertainment industry and the camaraderie that can exist, even when the public eye is watching closely.
