Despite juggling different roles, his legacy in the music industry continues to grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happened-when-50-cent-was-8-years-old\">What happened when 50 Cent was 8 years old? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When 50 Cent was 8 years old he lost his mother, Sabrina Jackson. Sabrina was only 15 years old when she gave birth to the singer. She continued being a single mother as 50 Cent&#8217;s father wasn&#8217;t present in their life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, she passed away in a fire accident when she was 28 years old. As per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.distractify.com\/p\/50-cent-parents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">reports<\/a>, Sabrina was struggling to make ends meet and was forced to get into drug dealing as a means to earn some money for her family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many thought her death was an accident, 50 Cent disagreed.

He said: &#8220;Someone put something in her drink and turned the gas on. After that, every time something went wrong, I think, &#8216;If my mother was here, it wouldn\u2019t be like that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rapper further alleged that his mother was in a relationship with a woman before her death. He said: &#8220;She used to like women. I think she had a girlfriend when I was eight years old. She was really, really aggressive, really manly, really tough.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-rapper-has-expressed-his-struggles-while-growing-up\">The rapper has expressed his struggles while growing up <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>His mother&#8217;s absence affected him badly and there were times when the rapper questioned if things would have been different if Sabrina had been next to him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a 2021 interview with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2021\/08\/23\/50-cents-mom-put-toys-in-socks-for-him-to-use-as-weapons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Page Six<\/a>, 50 Cent revealed he was bullied as a kid, but his mother used to be scarier than his school bullies. &#8220;There\u2019s a point where &#8230; I got bumped around a lot in the park, but I was more afraid of my mom than the people I got bumped around by because I could not escape her. Her being a single mom at that point, she was everything,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He continued: &#8220;She was my mom and my dad, and she was tough so I didn\u2019t know when it was OK to be emotional and when it wasn\u2019t. She would look at me on the floor and say, \u2018Get up.&#8221; After Sabrina&#8217;s passing, 50 Cent was raised by his grandparents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>READ NEXT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.celebritytidbit.com\/2024\/10\/30\/jon-batiste-hears-a-difference-in-taylor-swifts-re-recorded-songs-within-seconds\/\">Jon Batiste hears a \u2018difference\u2019 in Taylor Swift\u2019s re-recorded songs within seconds<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>50 Cent has made a name for himself in the music industry and is considered to be one of the big personalities in Hip-Hop music.
