50 Cent lets his nine-year-old son play violent video games and once found him looking at adult content on the Internet.

The rapper also lets his child watch R-rated movies because he doesn't want to be an over-protective parent.

Fiddy said: "My son is nine years old and I play my video game with him.

"We turn down the volume on the TV because there's a lot of swearing in the game.

"My son watches R-rated films all the time, with me present, so I can explain what he's seeing. Now, if you leave him by himself, he's going to assume the wrong thing."

The rapper is quoted on Britain's Top Of The Tops website as adding: "He has a computer in his room and he has Internet access. I came in and he was logged on to an adult site.

"You've got to understand that the kid has access to all these things and his curiosity is there now - keeping him sheltered is putting him in danger."

50 Cent - real name Curtis Jackson III - denied violent games and films are a bad influence on society.

The star, whose ultra violent game is called 'Bullet Proof', said: "A person who is influenced by a video game is already dangerous."
