50 Cent’s home burns down

A fire broke out at 50 Cent’s Long Island home this morning, a blaze the local fire department deemed “highly suspicious.” Though six people were in the home — including 50’s 10-year-old son Marquis and ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins — all escaped without injury. 50 has been involved in a bitter fight with his ex because she simply refuses to move out of the $2.4 million home. The couple was seen yelling at each other on the streets of Manhattan earlier this week, just after a member of 50’s entourage “trashed” the office of Shaniqua’s lawyer:

Regarding the fire, 50’s rep issued the following statement earlier today:

“Informed this morning while filming a new movie on location in Louisiana, Curtis Jackson expressed deep concern over this fire at his property. He is extremely thankful that everyone including his son, Marquise, escaped the burning home safely. He is confident that authorities will be conducting a thorough investigation of the incident and is eager to review their findings.”

A teary-eyed Tompkins told reporters outside the charred home today:

“Someone threw something in the window and set the home on fire. He’s trying to kill me and his own child. I know without a doubt in my heart it was him.” (Source)

I think it goes without saying that if these children wanna work out the kinks in their relationship, they might need a tiny counseling.
