Dear 50 Cent,

You don’t know me, but I have followed your career for years.  As a long-time radio personality I have been able to watch you go from up and coming artist to global superstar over the last 15 years.  I remember listening intently to your  brash delivery on your first single “How To Rob”.  I can recall the first time I heard one of your G-Unit mixtapes and realized that there was something special about you.  As time went on you proved to everyone in the world that you were indeed one of Hip Hop’s elite artists.  As I’m sure you know, selling nine million copies of your debut CD is nothing to scoff at.  You have done many things in your life that people will consider as memorable. You will undoubtedly forever be considered as one of the greatest business minds in the history of entertainment.  Paving the way for many to come and accomplish great things after you, your ability to raise the  bar with every business move that you make has set standards that may never be surpassed.

While I’m sure people are constantly trying to communicate with 50 Cent the rapper and entrepreneur, I want to take a few moments and express a few things to Curtis Jackson the father.  Marquise’ Jackson’s dad. The man who introduced the world to his young son through a cameo in the video for his song “Wanksta” in 2003.  The man who didn’t know his own father because he was “too busy out committing felonies”.

You see Fif, the reason that I am writing you this letter is because I am concerned.  As a father who is currently raising a soon to be 10-year-old daughter I am worried that the things that I have been reading about you and your son’s relationship recently could potentially have some long lasting negative effects not only on you and him, but on future generations of your family as well.  In no way, shape, or form do I believe that everything that the media has portrayed about your recent issues with Marquise and his mom are accurate.  But, I do believe that there is at least a little bit of truth in what I have read about how all parties involved have decided to handle their issues.  No one is blameless here. But this isn’t about pointing fingers. Its about realizing that none of us are perfect parents, and we must all do our part in keeping our family unit in tact.
