50 Cent trended on X.com (formerly Twitter) when he posted a message celebrating his son Sire’s 12th birthday.
The rapper-turned-TV producer shared photos of his son sitting on his lap on a private jet on Sunday, Sept. 1.
50 Cent, 49, captioned the post: “My little man SIRE is getting big, he’s 12 today. Happy Birthday!”
But one follower noted that Sire is too old to sit on his father’s lap like a toddler.
Isn’t 12 years too old to be sitting in your lap like that tho?

Sire is 50 Cent’s youngest son. Sire’s mom is Daphne Joy who is currently in a custody battle with 50 Cent.

Fiddy also has a son named Marquise Jackson, 26, whom he disowned years ago for siding with his mother, Shaniqua Tompkins.
Happy birthday. These pictures broadcast how bad of an addiction our phones are.

You being on the phone really ruins the moment a bit

Happy Birthday SIRE!!
But real talk 50 – he’s 12 now… get him out your lap and it’s time to teach him how to man up – and start being tough in this crazy world we live in.
