He is a successful rapper and entrepreneur. And 50 Cent proved that business acumen runs in the family as he revealed that his son Sire signed a six-figure modelling contract at just two years old. The 39-year-old rapper – born Curtis James Jackson III – recently made an appearance on the Angie Martinez radio programme on New York’s hip-hop radio station Power 105.1.

During the interview, the “In Da Club” hitmaker opened up about his youngest son Sire landing a hefty contract with a children’s audio company.

The proud papa said: “He’s got a (modelling]) deal now with Kidz Safe.

‘He’s getting the big paper too: $700 000.’

After the host Angie showed her bewilderment over the deal, the rapper said: (He’s super cute. You gotta pay for it.’

It looks like the youngster will not be able to go wild at the toy store or Candy Shop anytime soon as 50 Cent said the money is going into a trust fund.

He said: ‘It goes into a trust. He can’t even touch it until he turns 18.”

The “21 Questions” rapper then beamed as he said: ‘He’ll get $700 000 to be the face of the company. Already, he’s making his own money.”

50 Cent appears to be enjoying life with Sire as he said: “I have so much fun with him man.

“Even my spirits change and I like light up when I talk about him because he’s like at that point where he repeats everything.”

The rapper went on to discuss the hit show Empire, which he has been critical of in the past for the similarities to his Starz programme Power.

Though he did not say he liked the Fox programme, he did admit to viewing it a few times even complimenting actress Taraji P. Henson’s work despite her previous remarks about him.

50 Cent commented: “I’ve seen it three times, it’s like Glee.

“I like the people on it. I have friends there, Terrance Howard there. I like Taraji’s work. – Dailymail.
