Remember rapper 50 Cent aka Fiddy aka Curtis Jackson purchased a home for his baby mama (they're not together now) and his 10-year-old son? It was a $1.4 million pad which was supposed to be a place for his ex and his child to live comfortably, then the singer wanted to evict them (nice) and demanded that she pay $4,500 in rent. Well now, that little issue went up in smoke - literally. The house went up in flames - Shaniqua and Marquise were in the home at the time - and it's looking very, very suspicious!
From TMZ:
The fire broke out at the six bedroom, five bath house in Dix Hills, NY around 5:00 AM. Six people, including the rapper's ex Shaniqua Tompkins and their 10-year-old son Marquise, were in the house. They were all transported to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation.
The Chief of the Dix Hills Fire Department tells TMZ that dogs are currently searching the burned out rubble, as the intensity of the fire made it highly suspect. The Chief says they're searching for what substance could have possibly been used as an igniter.
The house has been the subject of a bitter dispute between Fiddy, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, and Tompkins. The rapper reportedly bought the home -- one of the biggest cribs in the area -- for a cool $1.4 mil in January 2007. Last month he tried to evict Tompkins and Marquis from the house, demanding she pay him $4,500 a month in rent.
Interesting....keep you posted!
