50 Cent, Shaniqua Tompkins, their 10-year-old son Marquise, plus three other unidentified people, were in 50 Cent’s Dix Hills, NY house around 5:00 am when the house burst into flames. All six people were transported to a nearby hospital for smoke inhalation. Fire investigators call the fire suspicious due to its intensity.

Tompkins was in the process of suing 50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, because she said he promised to give her the house. 50 Cent was in the process of trying to evict Tompkins from the house, and demanded she pay him $4,500 a month in rent while she remained in the house. The value of the house was upwards of $2.4 million.

Curtis Jackson took Shaniqua Tomkins to court after refusing to agree to her requests for more money for the upkeep of the 10-year-old. Tomkins previously asked for $50,000 a month but was granted just half of that sum – $25,000 a month – when the court viewed her and her son’s expenses. But that figure was reduced further earlier this week, and Tomkins will now only receive $6,700 a month.
