Cuban Link Claims 50 Cent Never Gave Her a Dime—Not Even the Wig!

Rapper and entrepreneur Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and his former girlfriend, Jamira “Cuban Link” Haines, have become the focus of renewed public attention following Haines’ candid comments about their breakup.

In a series of posts circulating on social media in June 2025, Haines claimed their five-year relationship ended after she requested $10,000 from the rapper, alleging he refused and described him as tight-fisted.

She further stated that the only gift she received during their time together was a wig worth under $100, which he allegedly asked to be returned after their separation. Her remarks included a warning to other women, advising them to “think twice before dating someone like 50 Cent,” sparking widespread online debate.

The couple first went public in August 2019 during the season six premiere of Power, a Starz series produced by Jackson. At the time, Haines, now 29, was emerging as a fitness entrepreneur and model, known by her brand name “Cuban Link,” a nod to her Cuban heritage.

She launched Cuban Fit, a personal training platform that helped her gain over 100,000 followers on Instagram, where she shares workout routines and lifestyle content. Born in Camden, New Jersey, Haines built a presence that extended beyond her relationship with Jackson.

50 Cent and Haines appeared to have a strong bond early in their relationship. Public displays of affection and shared moments on social media—including New Year’s celebrations, TikTok videos, and mutual praise in interviews—painted a picture of a thriving couple.

In a 2020 People interview, Jackson described Haines as independent and creative, revealing that they often used vision boards to strengthen their relationship goals. However, cracks began to appear that same year, with fans speculating about a split when Haines deleted photos of Jackson from her Instagram. They later appeared to reconcile, celebrating his 45th birthday together in July 2020.

In 2022, Haines posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to Jackson, and in 2023, engagement rumours surfaced after she was seen wearing a large diamond ring at one of his concerts. His team later clarified that the ring was a gift, not an engagement. The couple’s relationship status remained ambiguous, and by September 2024, signs of a breakup emerged when they unfollowed each other on Instagram and Jackson suggested on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that he was “free” and uninterested in marriage. Around the same time, Haines shared a cryptic message about change and growth, further fueling speculation.

Despite this, some outlets continued to report conflicting information. A June 2025 article from procamp.qa described the couple as still together, referring to their relationship as one built on mutual support. Conversely, media platforms such as Yahoo and HipHopDX previously reported that the relationship had ended, citing Jackson’s public comments and the couple’s absence from joint events.

Haines’ recent allegations have reignited public interest in their relationship. Her claim that 50 Cent never gave her financial support and only gifted her a wig worth less than $100 was met with mixed reactions.

Some users on social media expressed skepticism over the $10,000 request and questioned the context of her statements. Others criticized Jackson, whose estimated net worth exceeds $40 million, for the alleged lack of generosity. The financial dynamics of their relationship have since become a topic of broader conversation, with many weighing in on expectations within high-profile partnerships.

As of June 30, 2025, neither 50 Cent nor Haines has issued an official statement addressing the allegations. While her comments have not been independently verified, they align with previous reports hinting at a split.

Haines has previously demonstrated a willingness to confront public criticism directly. In 2021, she responded to actress Vivica A. Fox referred to 50 Cent as “the love of her life” with a pointed social media post encouraging respect for “our elders.” In 2022, she dismissed rumours about undergoing cosmetic procedures, reaffirming her natural appearance.

50 Cent’s romantic life has long drawn media interest. The Get Rich or Die Tryin’ artist has previously dated Vivica A. Fox, Ciara, Chelsea Handler, and Daphne Joy, with whom he shares a son, Sire Jackson. In June 2025, additional controversy surfaced when a former partner—whose identity remains undisclosed—accused Jackson of abuse and alleged that his long-running feud with Sean “Diddy” Combs stemmed from a personal betrayal.

Around the same time, Jackson made headlines after angrily responding to a podcast that speculated about Daphne Joy’s alleged involvement in Combs’ private parties, further highlighting his protective stance toward his exes and family.

Haines’ recent statements also reignited discussions around wealth, relationships, and gender roles in celebrity culture. Jackson’s reputation as a savvy businessman is well documented, with successful ventures including Power, G-Unit Records, and investments in Vitaminwater.

He recently made headlines for offering New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani $258,000 to leave the city in protest of a proposed tax increase. Haines’ claim that he “never gave me a dollar” starkly contrasts with his public persona as a wealthy and assertive mogul, raising questions about how his personal and public lives align.

For Haines, the breakup signals a new beginning. Beyond her relationship with Jackson, she has cultivated a personal brand centred on fitness, entrepreneurship, and community engagement.

In 2019, she received recognition from Camden’s City Council for her contributions to local initiatives, affirming her influence outside of entertainment. Her recent public remarks suggest a shift toward independence and self-empowerment as she distances herself from the relationship.

While 50 Cent has yet to respond to the claims, the story has sparked intense media coverage and online speculation. Some observers believe the breakup may be final, while others point to the couple’s history of on-and-off dynamics and leave open the possibility of reconciliation. In the absence of a definitive public statement from either party, opinions remain divided.
