50 Cent & Marquise Jackson: From Riches to Ruin
Few family feuds in hip-hop have played out as publicly—and as brutally—as 50 Cent’s war with his son, Marquise Jackson. Once the apple of his father’s eye, Marquise became the center of a decade-long battle over child support, loyalty, and respect. As the payments dropped from $25,000 to $6,700 a month, resentment festered. The beef spilled onto social media, with 50 Cent posting cold-blooded comments that shocked fans: he’d rather take Tekashi 6ix9ine over his own son, and wouldn’t care if Marquise got hit by a bus.
Marquise, desperate for reconciliation, offered his father $6,700 for just one day together—a heartbreaking reference to the child support that had come to symbolize their broken bond. But 50 Cent remained unmoved, blaming “programming” from Marquise’s mother and calling his son entitled. By 2025, 50 reportedly erased Marquise from his will, leaving everything to his younger son, Sire. For these two, the wounds run so deep that even millions can’t buy forgiveness.
Ghostface Killah & Infinite Coles: Family Ties Severed by Identity
Wu-Tang Clan’s Ghostface Killah built his legacy on raw emotion and loyalty—but his own son, Infinite Coles, says that loyalty never extended to him. In 2023, Infinite called his father a deadbeat on Instagram, revealing they hadn’t spoken in over 15 years. He grew up struggling, even living in homeless shelters while Ghostface toured the world.
The deepest pain? Infinite is openly gay, and he believes his father’s discomfort with his sexuality—and the homophobic language in Wu-Tang’s music—led to their estrangement. Infinite poured his heartbreak into tracks like “Sweetface Killer,” challenging his father’s expectations of masculinity and pleading for acceptance. While Ghostface remains silent, Infinite found support from his uncle RZA, highlighting the isolation and pain that comes when a parent rejects their own child for being different.
Uncle Luke & His Kids: Millions Can’t Buy Love
Uncle Luke of 2 Live Crew fought for free speech and built a controversial empire, but at home, he says he’s been defeated by his own children’s hatred. Despite spending over $2.7 million on child support, Luke claims his kids want nothing to do with him—no Father’s Day calls, no birthday love. He blames their mothers for poisoning them against him, but the pain runs deep.
His daughter, Lesa (aka Cree), accused him of emotional and physical abuse, making the family’s dysfunction painfully public. Luke’s response? He denied their existence, telling interviewers he only has one child—the one who stayed with him. It’s a story of heartbreak and bitterness, where fame and fortune couldn’t keep the family together.
Boosie Badazz & His Daughters: Love Lost in Public Feuds
Boosie Badazz is never shy about his opinions, but his relationships with daughters Poison Ivy and Toriiana Hatch have exploded into public drama. Boosie refuses to accept Ivy’s sexuality, fearing it would “contaminate” his other kids. Ivy fired back with a viral video, accusing him of emotional neglect and caring more about his image than his family.
With Toriiana, things got even messier. After she moved in with her mom, Boosie took back her Mercedes and threatened to remove her from his will. He followed through, publicly declaring she’d get nothing when he’s gone. Boosie’s controversial parenting—including admitting he arranged sexual encounters for his underage sons—has cast a dark shadow over his family, raising questions about his fitness as a father.
Benzino & Coi Leray: DNA Isn’t Family
Benzino, once co-owner of The Source magazine, watched his daughter Coi Leray rise to stardom, but their relationship is fractured. Coi claims Benzino abandoned her after losing his magazine, leaving the family broke and homeless. As her career skyrocketed, Benzino refused to congratulate her, instead using her fame for his own clout.
Coi’s public disowning of her father—especially after he defended R. Kelly—made headlines. She declared, “DNA doesn’t make you family,” a statement that cut deeper than any lyric. Benzino, hurt and emotional, blames the music industry and her mother for turning Coi against him, but the damage is done.
Dr. Dre & LaTanya Young: Billionaire Dad, Homeless Daughter

In 2021, she revealed she was homeless, living in her car with four kids, working DoorDash and Uber Eats to survive. Dre hadn’t spoken to her in 18 years, and financial support stopped when she went public with her story.
While Dre’s younger children enjoy the benefits of his wealth, LaTanya’s experience exposes the stark divide in celebrity families. Dre has never publicly responded, leaving questions about how a billionaire could let his own daughter and grandchildren live in poverty.
T.I. & Deyjah Harris: Privacy Violated, Trust Destroyed
T.I. built an empire as a rapper and reality star, but his relationship with daughter Deyjah Harris was shattered in 2019 when he admitted to taking her to annual gynecologist visits to check her virginity. The public was horrified, medical professionals condemned the practice, and women’s rights advocates called it a violation of autonomy.

Bow Wow’s daughter, Shai Moss, wants nothing to do with the spotlight. At 13, she asked for a normal life, rejecting TikTok and red carpets. Reports of emotional distance surfaced when Bow Wow was unaware she had to evacuate during California wildfires. With his son Stone Moss, Bow Wow’s relationship is even more contentious, marked by paternity disputes and co-parenting drama.
Shai has praised her father on occasion, but her push for privacy speaks volumes about her feelings toward the fame that comes with being Bow Wow’s child.
