50 Cent and Shaniqua Tompkins Still at War

Yesterday 50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, had Shaniqua Tompkins served with papers for his $20 million defamation lawsuit on outside a Suffolk County, N.Y., court. The suit was filed in response to offensive and false statements made by Shaniqua.

Despite the defamation lawsuit, Tompkins repeated the remarks in court to get a judge to grant a temporary restraining order against 50 Cent. Tompkins asked the judge to keep 50 Cent away from her, and their son, despite Tompkins angrily demanding 50 Cent call and visit their son after a fire burned the house down that she was living in.

50 Cent’s attorney also filed a visitation petition alleging that since the fire, Tompkins has been deliberately preventing the rapper from seeing his son in part by not revealing their new place of residence, in direct violation of a court order from last June. The attorney said:

"She’s completely cut him off from his son. The trouble in the relationship is driven by the anger and hostility that’s coming from her."

Tompkins says she won’t reveal where she and Marquise are staying to Jackson, because the fire (she claims was set by 50 Cent) "was a threat on my life. This is my child’s life. This is our lives."

HG readers overwhelmingly voted in a recent poll they believe Tompkins set the fire that burned the house she was living in down. The home was owned by 50 Cent, and was at a legal dispute where Tompkins claimed 50 Cent gave it to her as a gift.

Both 50 Cent and Tompkins need counseling. The courts would serve the child best by ordering the counseling rather than issuing restraining orders to keep the fight going.
