Back in April, we reported that rapper 50 Cent and his son’s mother Shaniqua Tompkins were fighting in court over a house that Tompkins claims 50 Cent bought for her. The judge ultimately ordered Tompkins to move out of the house by the end of the school year. Yesterday, though, the whole situation turned bizarre.

Apparently, Tompkins was deposed yesterday in New York in relation to the house case. Reportedly, matters got heated and a member of 50 Cent’s entourage trashed the offices of Tompkins’ lawyers. A police report was filed.

The former couple then engaged in a screaming match in the street – caught on a camera phone by a bystander. Several hours later, at about 5:00 a.m., firefighters were called to the Long Island, NY home where Tompkins and the ex-couple’s 10 year old son, Marquise, lived (the same house from which 50 Cent has been trying to evict Tompkins). All six people inside the home (including Tompkins and Marquise) escaped with minor smoke inhalation. The $2+ million home appears to be a total loss.

The rapper’s representative issued a statement indicating that 50 Cent (real name: Curtis Jackson) is in Louisiana filming a movie, is thankful that no one was hurt and is looking forward to the investigation’s findings.

Tompkins claims that she heard someone break into the home at 4:00 a.m., shortly before the fire started. There is no indication as to why she didn’t call the police at that time. Tompkins also claims that her ex threatened to kill her and has had no contact with their son since the news of the fire was reported this morning. 50 Cent’s attorney, Brett Kimmel, of course, called allegations that his client had something to do with the fire “outrageous and offensive.”

These two have been fighting in and out of court for years, beginning with paternity and child support orders. Then, more recently, a modification of the child support order. And most recently, this house. It appears that Tompkins v. Jackson is far from over. Check back here for updates!
