Jackson has two sons. On October 13, 1997 Jackson's girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, gave birth to son Marquise Jackson.
[124][125] Tompkins later sued him for $50 million, saying that he said that he would take care of her for life. The suit, with 15
causes of action, was dismissed by a judge who called it "an unfortunate tale of a love relationship gone sour."
[126] As of February 2009, Tompkins and her lawyer were considering an appeal.
[127] [
needs update?]
Marquise's birth changed Jackson's outlook on life: "When my son came into my life, my priorities changed, because I wanted to have the relationship with him that I didn't have with my father".
[128] He credited his son for inspiring his career and being the "motivation to go in a different direction".
[129] Jackson has a tattooed "Marquise" with an axe on his right bicep ("The axe is 'cause I'm a warrior. I don't want him to be one, though"),
[31] and has "50", "Southside" and "Cold World" on his back: "I'm a product of that environment. It's on my back, though, so it's all behind me".
