50 Cent has continued to pay tribute to his late grandfather by sharing some particularly fond (and funny) memories with the man who raised him.
The rap legend and media mogul took to Instagram on Thursday (August 1) to share some clips of him and Curtis Jackson Sr. following his death earlier this week.
In the first heartwarming clip, 50 asks his grandpa about fooling around with women during his youth, to which the older Jackson jokes about his ability to “slip” inside a lover’s house and “slip out” without anybody knowing, prompting laughter from Fif.
“[grinning face emoji] Man this guy, was the best thing that ever happened to me. LOL,” he captioned the moment.
In another video, Jackson Sr. can be seen eating a melted cake, much to the bemusement of the “In Da Club” rapper.
In a final tribute, Fif unearthed a clip from a 2002 documentary where he speaks about how his personality comes from his beloved grandad.
“If you had to ask me who am I like the most out of my family, it’s probably my grandfather,” he says, before adding: “He’s crazy. My grandpops is unpredictable. It’s hard to tell what’s gonna happen or what he’s gonna say.”
The clip also shows a young 50 recalling the time he was chased by police who had incorrectly identified him as a murder suspect, with Jackson Sr. saying he cursed the cops out and “talked so much shit ’til he hauled ass.”
50 Cent announced the news of Curtis Jackson Sr.’s passing on Wednesday (July 31), writing on Instagram: “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.”
In a follow-up post the next day, 50 penned a heartfelt tribute to his namesake while sharing photos of the two of them from over 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.
Fif then shared an amusing anecdote about his 91-year-old grandad, who seemingly never lost his sense of humor despite struggling with health issues.
“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!”
