Father’s Day is usually a time for celebration, gratitude, and reflection. But for Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, it was also an opportunity to speak his mind and fans think his ex, Daphne Joy, was firmly in the crosshairs.

In a blunt and unapologetic post shared on Sunday, the rapper-turned-TV mogul didn’t hold back. While celebrating his role as a father, 50 Cent also appeared to take a not-so-subtle jab at the mother of his 11-year-old son, Sire Jackson.

“You see how I said I got the best gift ever, my kids. No stress, no drama. I’m so blessed,” he wrote. “Some of y’all can’t post that today without a cap in the caption.”

He didn’t mention Daphne Joy by name, but the message was loud enough to make fans raise an eyebrow and speculate.

This isn’t the first time 50 and Daphne have found themselves in public tension. Their relationship has long been marked by ups and downs, from co-parenting highs to courtroom drama and very public fallouts. In recent months, tensions have reportedly escalated further following Daphne’s name being linked to music mogul Diddy in various online discussions—something 50 Cent himself has commented on more than once.

What makes this post sting for many observers is its timing. In the caption’s calm, fatherly tone, there’s also a strong undercurrent of critique—pointing out that not every parent, or co-parenting situation, is as peaceful or fulfilling as it may seem on social media.

As always, fans were divided. Some praised 50 for standing firm in his truth and loving his children openly, while others criticized the move as petty and unnecessary, especially on a day meant to honor fatherhood, not reignite past flames.

Despite the controversy, one thing is clear: 50 Cent continues to use his platform to speak directly—sometimes sharply—about his personal life, no matter who’s watching.
