50 Cent’s ex says house fire was murder attempt

May 30th, 2008 // 60 Comments

A house that’s in the center of a court battle between 50 Cent and Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of his son Marquise, suspiciously went up in flames early this morning. Shaniqua is saying the fire was attempted murder and she distinctly heard someone in the house before the fire, according to TMZ:

The lawyer for 50 Cent’s baby mama, Shaniqua Tompkins, tells TMZ that she heard “someone” come into the house this morning at 4 AM, shortly before the fire broke out around a hour later.
Paul Catsandonis, Shaniqua’s lawyer, tells us that his client is “traumatized” by the fire and that the kids are similarly in total shock. Six people, including Tompkins and their 10-year-old son Marquise, were in the house. They all were transported to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation.

The house was allegedly promised to Shaniqua by 50 until he decided to put her and Marquise on the street. The AP reports:

Tompkins filed a lawsuit against 50 earlier this year claiming he had promised her a house more than a decade ago, but that since their breakup, he now wants to evict her and their 10-year-old son from the home.
Tompkins’ lawyer, Paul Catsandonis, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the dispute over the house had become “extremely, extremely contentious” in recent days. Although he declined to be specific, he said there was an “extremely dangerous incident” Monday in his Manhattan office while taking a deposition for the lawsuit.

And by “extremely dangerous incident,” Shaniqua’s lawyer meant 50 yelled “Bitch, I’ll burn that house down with you in it at exactly 4 A.M. Friday May 30, 2008. But first, you’ll hear someone break in and shit and you’ll be all, ‘Aw no, what’s happenin’?’ And it’ll be me burning down this particular house in the middle of our highly publicized court battle. But ain’t no one’s gonna know it was me! Ha! In da house. 50 out. The fucks’ the elevator? I hate stairs!”

    The sad part in all of this is the poor 10-year-old boy. What did he do to deserve being caught in the middle of this fight between 2 of the most degenerate parents on the planet? Poor kid can’t even play in a sandbox, because cats keep trying to cover him up.

    Wait. His son’s name is MARQUISE?

    That’s the female equivalent of marquis. It would be like calling your son “Baroness” or “Lady”.

    A Marquise is also a tiny device protecting a door against the rain, usually made of glass and iron. It is also a big chair. And a type of ring, and a dessert, and a cocktail.
    None of these are a suitable name for a boy.

    Trying to burn your ex wife and son alive, now thats gangsta my friend! 50′s doing it hard out here on the streets.

    So I predict 50 saying he had nothing to do with it and then coming out with a Get Richy or die trying 2 with this particular scene in it of him killing his wife and kid and it going wrong or it’ll be in a new track on 50′s next album or video game. Actually video game would be better, you could have 50 running around the city trying to sell enough crack to get the money to buy the gasoline to burn his momma’s house down with his kid in it. Now if that doesn’t scream PS3 and Xbox 360, I don’t know what does!

    Peace out homedogs! Or however a wanna be suburban gangsta kid would say it.

    When I heard 50 made over a hundred million off his Vitamin water deal, I thought, this guy’s much smarter than I thought. If he sacrificed all that to play arsonist or hire one, he better hope it can’t be tracked to him, because that is fine and jail time. This guy thinks his career is a sure thing, too, but he’s just about at game over point. Oh well, emotions will destroy you. Better rise above.

    Thompkins should stick to hiring lawyers with 50′s money instead of hiring her hangers-on to act as goons and ordering them to attack 50 in her lawyer’s office. And how is it that Thompkins aunt and 3 kids, and her new boyfriend and his 2 kids are all living off of money intended for 50′s child?
