It was never an easy road for Baltimore Ravens QB. Raised by a single parent and firmly planting his feet on the football ground, Lamar Jackson is an individual who has risen above personal struggles and adversity, becoming an inspiration to many. His resilience and ability to overcome different life battles made him a symbol of hope and triumph for those facing their challenges. And, he opened up about his feelings recently on social media.

Jackson has been the face of the Ravens for the past five seasons. However, his road to securing a historic $260 million, 5-year extension deal was far from simple. The journey to this massive contract and his rise to the football arena were marked by challenges and hurdles. Perhaps, it was these struggles that prompted him to share a statement from a popular American rapper in his story.

What was the story?

Recently, rap mogul 50 Cent, known for his involvement in the video game “50 Cent: Bulletproof,” made an appearance on a VSG Entertainment program where he delved into the complex nature of success.

During the discussion, he expressed an intriguing perspective, stating, “Interesting thing is when we pray for success, we don’t pray for jealousy, we don’t pray for envy, we don’t pray for entitlement, and we can’t have those things without success.” He further emphasized that success changes relationships and that there is no way to avoid the emergence of entitlement.
