"Don't you even dare crawl your ass out this way," said 50 in an interview with Rolling Stone. "I don't wanna know the nigga." His mother, Sabrina Jackson was only 15 years old when he was born. She was a local drug dealer. "My moms was tough-tough, like man-tough," he said. Sabrina was hardly ever around for her son. "She used to substitute finances for time," 50 remembered. "Every time I seen her, it was somethin' new for me. Christmas every day. She put jewelry on me early." .
Tragedy hit home when 50 was eight years old. One night somebody went home with his mother. Something was slipped into her drink that left her unconscious. The windows were closed and the gas was turned on. She was found dead a few days later. "Had to be something to do with the drugs," 50 said. "Her body was all fucked up." .
After that catastrophe, 50 moved in with his grandparents. They tried to guide him in the right direction, but 50 was a product of the streets, and the streets he could not escape. .
50 followed in the infamous footsteps of his mother and became a drug dealer himself when he was 12. 50 attended high school but only lasted until 10th grade. His name was known infamously all over the streets. By age 18, 50 was making $5,000 a day selling crack. With his drug money he bought himself a Land Cruiser and a Mercedes-Benz. "He's always been known for doing something crazy and wild," said Sha Money XL, a longtime friend and co-worker. .
50 is not proud of all the things he did growing up, but he is not sorry for them either. "Try tellin' a kid that's twelve years old, 'If you do good in school for eight more years, you can have a car.' And let a kid's curiosity lead him through his neighborhood and find somebody who got it in six months on that strip. It don't seem like one of the options, it seem like the only option. I provide for myself by any means I really don't have intentions to hurt nobody. I don't expect everybody to understand.
