50 Cent Sues His Baby’s Mama For Defamation

50 Cent, burnt house and Shaniqua Tompkins
Rap superstar 50 Cent is preparing a defamation lawsuit against his baby’s mother for claiming he caused the fire that burned down her Long Island mansion last month.

The In Da Club hitmaker was accused of starting the fire himself in an attempt to force Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of his 11-year-old son Marquise, out of the house.

Shortly after the fire, Shaniqua told the press: “He tried to kill me and his own child. I know this came from 50 Cent.”

But 50 Cent has dismissed the accusations, and his lawyers are now preparing to take action against Shaniqua.

His attorney Brett Kimmel says, “There comes a point where you can no longer sit on your hands and listen to her spread these falsehoods. Besides hurting his reputation, they have a damaging impact on their son.”

In a petition filed in Suffolk County Family court, 50 alleges Shaniqua has “made it practically impossible” for him to speak with or see his son.

The rapper says Marquise’s cell phone had been destroyed in the fire, so he sent his son a new one. However, Shaniqua has “failed and refused to give the cell phone to Marquise. The only way (50) can communicate with his son is to call (Tompkins’) cell phone.”

The petition claims that this is a “willful violation” of their custody agreement, and requests that the courts address the situation. 50’s legal team is scheduled to argue the case in court on Friday.
