Early this morning, a house in Dix Hills, NY, owned by 50 Cent — the house, in case you were wondering, that 50 Cent is trying to kick the mother of his child out of, prompting her to sue him — burned down. Shaniqua Thompkins, their son Marquise, and four other people were in the house when it caught fire. They were all transported to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation. Something about the "intensity" of the fire aroused suspicion among fire officials, who said some sort of chemical might have been used to start the fire.
Interestingly, sources tell TMZ that earlier this week, a meeting between the two parties got so heated that a member of 50 Cent's entourage "went nuts" and trashed Thompkin's lawyer's office. A police report was later filed.
With employees getting arrested at his home for beating women, entourage members "trashing" law offices during meetings, and houses occupied by your ex and son being burned to the ground, it seems an odd time to be mentoring young people to follow in your footsteps.

The fire is VERY suspect.
That icon is hilarious.
waiting for someone to talk about her name.
All that drama is crazy! The child should not have to be put through this. Im sure its affecting him some type of way. But you cant really speculate who is really in fault because we dont know the situation that fifty and his sons mother had going on. But I think that fifty should be a man and try to do the best he can to keep peace for his sons sake. And as far as his entourage getting angry, they dont have anything to do with that situation! They need to fall back. Go hurt somebody thats really hurting someone!If you want to go around policing people.
Chic Noir you can definitely start to comment on the the mother of 50's child, why wait if you have some opinion. It is not a name I would choose for my child but one of my children do have an african derived name taken from the Swahili language meaning purpose. NIA. Some ignorant people make or try to make comments regarding the creative names that african americans have for their children, most ending with "ia" or "a" without understanding that is part of their african heritage and culture. Do some research and see the truth but don't degrade a persons name Chic "Noir". Most black people are most racist to their own black counterparts without thought or consideration. I find it quite interesting that "WE" as a people talk negatively about out afro centric names but not polish, russian, asian, or indian. When they have odd names we just accept that is part of their culture, but if it is an african derived name not assimilted to European culture we should be ashamed. No I think You who mock our ancestory should be ashamed
On the subject of 50 and the house burning down Shaniqua had, other than 50's son and her younger child not by 50, her boyfriend his two sons her aunt and young cousin living there, he was simply arguing that he shouldn't be responsible for all those people in paying for his child to live in a similar manner to what is established at his father's home (he pays for the home and all expenses, ie lights, gas, etc). Not saying he is right for evicting her but I SERIOUSLY doubt that he would endanger his son's life to get her out of a house. Logically the insurance company will have to put her in similar accomadations, the court proceedings will still go on and once the house is repaired if she wins she still gets to live there. 50 was smart enough to broker a 8 figure deal for Smart water and Vitamin Water. I pray and believe he would be smart enough to know all of that. He definitely has business savy and the best lawyers money can buy. 40 million for beverages. I would think so. Excuse the typo's in my previous post "assimilation" and etc… Just love don't hate.
He cannot sell his house, so he needed the money, therefore it was arson
no one is asking kids to following in his footsteps he is giving a way for them not to follow in his footsteps. if you mind wasn't so evil then you would understand what he is trying to do. i don't get it….these evil minded blogers always have something neg. to say about 50, but they are the first ones to post any stories about him…..why?….50 gets more comments then any of the other boring stories. if you don't like him don't write about him.
