50 Cent and his son, Marquise
They once were happy together; at least happy enough to conceive their son Marquise.
Apparently, even after they parted, 50 Cent (whose real name is Curtis Jackson) continued taking care financially of both his baby mama Shaniqua Tompkins and their son, buying them a mansion and a brand new SUV.
However, shortly after Shaniqua’s new boyfriend moved in, there was an altercation between him and 50 Cent’s bodyguards at 50 Cent’s lawyers’ office. What was the new boyfriend doing there anyway? It’s been reported that he even caused extensive material damage in the office.
Only a few weeks after the events, the $2 Million-mansion 50 Cent had bought burned to the ground, leaving 6 people (including Shaniqua Tompkins and Marquise) incommodated by the smoke. Shaniqua declared to both the media and the authorities that 50 Cent probably caused the fire.
A few weeks later she was served with papers for a $20 million defamation lawsuit by 50 Cent’s lawyers, who claim her allegations are not only false and unfounded, but also damaging to Fitty’s reputation and to Marquise’s perception of his father.
After finding a 5-gallon container of gas on the site of the fire, the authorities concluded that it was deliberate and will push further the arson investigation.
In the meantime, a judge will have to decide who will get the insurance money; 50 Cent, who actually owned the property, or Shaniqua, who claims he gave it to her as a gift.
