The remark, made during a live stream discussion, quickly went viral as fans questioned how such a figure could be considered inadequate. Marquise, however, defended his stance, arguing that the amount “sounds like a lot on paper,” but doesn’t stretch far when factoring in New York’s high cost of living, security, and lifestyle pressures that come with being 50 Cent’s son.

“This is New York City,” Marquise said. “You can’t live off $6,700 a month when everybody expects you to be living like your dad.”

The statement has reopened old wounds between Marquise and 50 Cent, whose strained relationship has been widely publicized over the years. Their tension dates back to the rapper’s fallout with Marquise’s mother, Shaniqua Tompkins, and has occasionally spilled onto social media — with 50 often responding to his son’s comments with sharp humor or biting sarcasm.

Fans of the “In Da Club” rapper have been quick to react, with many siding with 50 Cent. “$6,700 a month? That’s over $80,000 a year. Most people dream of that kind of income,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Others, however, sympathized with Marquise, suggesting that fame and public expectation create financial pressures few outsiders can understand.

Financial experts weighed in as well, noting that while $6,756 a month is far above average income, maintaining a celebrity-level image — especially in high-cost cities — can drive up expenses significantly. Still, the argument that it’s “not enough” has sparked fierce debate about entitlement, generational wealth, and what it means to grow up under the shadow of immense fame.

Neither 50 Cent nor his representatives have commented publicly on Marquise’s latest remarks, but given the rapper’s history of turning drama into headlines — and memes — fans are bracing for his inevitable response.

For now, social media remains divided: is Marquise justified in asking for more, or is this another example of celebrity privilege gone too far?
