50 Cent is asking a Florida judge to protect his 14-year-old son, Sire Jackson, from online posts allegedly published by Tia Kemp, the mother of Rick Ross’ son. A petition filed Monday, October 26, in Miami-Dade County seeks an injunction preventing Kemp from stalking, cyberstalking, or harassing the teenager. TMZ first reported the filing, which identifies Sire by his initials.
The rapper, whose legal name is Curtis Jackson, alleges Kemp targeted Sire through four online publications over six days. One incident cited in the petition involves an October 25 interview during which she allegedly made derogatory remarks about the teenager’s speech and development. Those remarks included speculation about autism, although no independently verified medical information supports the claims.
The filing also challenges a post allegedly combining Sire’s photograph with a sexually explicit image of an adult woman whom the petition suggests is his mother, Daphne Joy. Jackson argues that the material publicly humiliated his son and caused embarrassment and emotional distress.
Before requesting court intervention, Jackson’s attorneys reportedly sent Kemp a cease and desist letter demanding that she remove the material and stop publishing similar content about Sire. The petition claims Kemp responded by sharing part of the legal notice online with the caption, “F u and ya lawyers.”
Jackson’s legal team now wants immediate protection, arguing that previous warnings failed to stop the alleged behavior. The petition requests a temporary injunction followed by a final order after a hearing. His attorneys maintain that additional posts could follow unless a judge intervenes.
The legal dispute follows a separate controversy involving Kemp’s son with Rick Ross, William Roberts III, who recently reported being assaulted near Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach.
On October 11, William told Daytona Beach police that a man confronted him while he was speaking with a woman, pointed a gun at him and struck him in the head. Local police records reviewed by NBC 6 Miami identify Don Roberts III as the accused attacker. He was arrested October 16 on charges of aggravated assault and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
The incident quickly drew attention from 50 Cent, whose rivalry with Rick Ross has continued for years. Jackson publicly mocked the situation on Instagram and suggested he would help secure the accused man’s release from jail.
Don Roberts was released on a $50,000 bond on October 21. The Los Angeles Times reported that he subsequently appeared in a video thanking 50 Cent for supporting him and believing in his innocence. However, it has not been independently established that Jackson paid the bond. Roberts has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Kemp responded angrily to Jackson’s involvement, criticizing him for making light of her son’s alleged assault. Complex documented her subsequent social media posts, including photographs featuring Jackson, Daphne Joy and Sire.
Jackson also participated in the online exchange, sharing older magazine photographs of Kemp. What began as a dispute surrounding William’s reported assault expanded into personal attacks involving both families.
The latest filing introduces a separate legal issue because Sire is a minor.
Florida law allows parents or legal guardians to petition for protection against stalking on behalf of children living at home. Cyberstalking can qualify for such protection when repeated electronic communications satisfy the state’s legal requirements.
However, offensive social media commentary does not automatically constitute cyberstalking. Florida’s judicial guidelines require evidence of repeated conduct directed at an individual that causes substantial emotional distress and serves no legitimate purpose. Courts must also consider whether the activity qualifies as legally protected speech.
A judge can issue a temporary injunction before a full hearing if the legal conditions are satisfied.
