Rapper 50 Cent is deeply saddened and has turned to social media to express his grief over the passing of his grandfather, Curtis Jackson Sr., with whom he shared a close bond during his lifetime.
The rapper shared this heartbreaking news on Wednesday, July 31.
“You do know none of this shit really matters, [winking emoji] we can’t take it with us. I lost my Grandfather last night, now he can go everywhere with me.”
On Thursday August 1, 50 shared a touching tribute to the man who raised him in a subsequent post, along with a collection of photos capturing their moments together throughout the years.
“My old man is [a] tuff act to follow, he sacrificed for all of us. He made me smile every time I saw him,” he wrote.
He proceeded to recount a humorous story about his grandfather, who appeared to maintain his sense of humour even while facing various health challenges.
“The Last time he went to the hospital he was dehydrated so the nurse couldn’t find a vein. I came in, I said pop you alright?” he recalled. “He said no [confused face emoji], she stick me again and I’m a start shooting.
“LOL [laughing emoji] I almost fell out! [three laughing and crying emojis] South Side we out side WTF!”
Additionally, he said: “He would come [home] and give my grandmother his check, and I never understood that growing up […] Later, as an adult, he said, ‘You couldn’t see it and you won’t understand it ’cause you were a baby, but I gave your mama the check to stop her from looking at things I couldn’t give her.’”
He added: “If you understand where you’re at financially, you make logical decisions versus if you didn’t have an understanding because he was handling things, then you could feel deprived. It could feel like there’s something else out there that you’re not experiencing.”
