50 Cent’s finances are being hit. First, his much hyped G-Unit album sold less than 100,000 copies. Now, his ex girlfriend and mother of his 11-year-old son is suing him for $50 million in damages caused by the fire that destroyed the home she was living in.

The fire, labeled by officials as “suspicious,” claimed the Long Island home back in May. By that time, the dispute between 50 and his ex,Shaniqua Tompkins, had already begun with the rapper beginning eviction proceedings against her.

Tompkins took her opinions to the media, telling TMZ that 50 Cent set the blaze to avoid having to honor an agreement made between them.

“There wasn’t a written contract but an expressed oral agreement, which is recognized in the New York courts,” Tompkins’ attorney Paul Catsandonis explained to The Hudson Reporter. “They decided years ago that she was going to be the domestic partner, and she was going to provide the domestic services while he devoted all his time to becoming a Hip-Hop artist. Whatever profits he was able to achieve would be divided equally, and he had promised her and their son that they could live in the house. He breached that contract.”

Catsadonis concedes that the relationship between 50 and Tompkins should be viewed as a common-law marriage.

“We are moving into the modern era where people are not getting married anymore but are common law husband and wife.” Catsadonis said.

In addition to the lawsuit, Tompkins has also filed a restraining order to keep the rapper away from her and has refused to let him see his son.

50 fired back with a $20 million defamation suit and a complaint against Tompkins for violating their current custody agreement.

In a recent interview with MTV, 50 said, “My relationship with my son is changing because me and his mom aren’t friends anymore…The relationship between my wallet and his mom has changed. When people have expensive habits, it’s a hell of a transition for them when that money is not there anymore. She said all kinds of thins about me I would never expect.”

The Suffolk County Family Court is expected to begin proceedings on July 17 to hear arguments for 50’s visitation rights.

At press time, there had been no further comment from 50 or Tompkins.

 

THIS IS THE MOST FUCKED UP SHIT I’VE HEARD IN A WHILE. DOES 50′S BABY MAMA REALLY THINK THAT A JURY WILL BELIEVE HE COMMITED ARSON WITH HIS SON IN THE HOUSE? HER STORY SOUNDS VERY BOGUS. AND HOPEFULLY SHE WILL BE FOUND OUT, HUMILIATED AND AND 50 WILL GET CUSTODY OF HIS SON.
