50 Cent is known for his love of money and his competitive spirit, but it seems like his son Sire Jackson has inherited both traits from his father.

The 11-year-old recently challenged his dad to a basketball game, and ended up betting his money on a free throw. The Power star shared a video of the wager on Instagram.

The video showed Sire negotiating the terms of the bet with his opponent. The young boy was already down $500, and decided to double down by putting another $500 on the line. If he made the shot, he would get his money back plus $100. If he missed, he would owe $1,100.

The clip then showed Sire confidently taking the shot, and swishing it through the net.

“Just in, SIRE caught gambling with my money [suspicious emoji] his ass better made that shot,” 50 Cent wrote in the caption.

The rapper’s fans and friends reacted to the video with amusement and praise, commenting on Sire’s skills and courage. Some also joked that 50 Cent should have made the bet harder, or that he should have taught his son not to gamble.

50 Cent and Sire have a close bond, and often spend time together doing fun activities. The rapper has also spoiled his son with lavish gifts, such as a custom-made toy car and other nice gifts. Sire is 50 Cent’s youngest child, and his only son with model Daphne Joy.
