The Roof is on Fire

Filed under: Legal Matters > 50 Cent

The Long Island home central to the ongoing feud between Fifty Cent and his baby momma, Shaniqua Tompkins, was destroyed by fire early Friday morning.

The home was essentially burned to the ground!

The arson squad's been called in as the town's fire chief deemed the blaze highly suspicious.

Six people, including Fiddy's babymomma and his son, Marquis, were taken to a hospital after suffering smoke inhalation and later released.

A passing off-duty police officer reportedly helped rescue the six people off an elevated deck in the home's backyard.

Fiddy was on location filming a movie in Louisiana when the fire broke out.

His mouthpiece issued the following statement,"He is extremely thankful that everyone including his son, Marquise, escaped the burning house safely. He is confident that authorities will be conducting a thorough investigation of the incident and is eager to review their findings."

What drama!

Can't wait to find out who's to blame for the madness!

      Jeez, that sucks. Did you have to choose a picture of him smiling so much though? Doesn't seem appropriate somehow. Though, I have to say that 50 has awesome teeth.

      I don't think that anyone associated with 50 Cent would light the fire, he's a nice guy and anyway it's 50's house. Even if he was in a fued with his Ex I doubt he'd burn down his own house.

      50 cent and eddie griffin are getting too much attention this week. both of them suck. and both of them have teeth that you cant look at without sunglasses.

      Now this remind's me of the time I left my deep frier on by accident one morning aftre I fried up some chitterlin's for me and my peep's. I had gone to the feed store to get some pidgeon feed,you know I love me some roller pidgeon's. anyway's, I returned to find my house on fire and the fire and rescue were able to save all of my squirell egg's that were recently laid and they also got my neighbor's pet annaconda out safely. you see, that's the snake that take's care of the squirell egg's when she wont. so in the end it all turned out well. I went down to home depot and got some day laborer's and they got to work right away and I went and bought a new deep frier but with the auto shut off switch and my pidgeon's got a new coop too.

      Ruh Roh

      Fiddy is a stuped Mo Fo

      he made threats that someone was going to do something to her

      he's going down with all his little thug friends

      I'm sure there are text messages, cell records and emails to support all of this

      We have another OJ here

    26. Perez says – reply to this

      Don't forget the video from a couple of days ago where Fiddy has to be held back by his peeps

      One dangerous Mo Fo

      Such a hideously fugly ass guy with an oversized ego. Go away asswipe. You had your 15 minutes 2 yrs ago. The irony of it all is that 50 cent bashed ja rule for the same thing he is doing now. Hypocrite.

    31. 50 Fan says – reply to this


      31

      Holy M

      I was thinking the same thing. Fifty has great teeth but Perez you shouldn't have chosen this picture. Bad Bad

      And we all know that Shaniqua and her crew set this fire. She planned this fire and their fake rescue from the house to try and get sympathy or to make it look like 50 and his posse did it to run her out. 50 has too much to lose and too many more important things than to be involved in this drama. He would never harm his kid…but I bet he wished he could slap the pooh out of that slacker who had his kid.

      50. Do your thing. She will rot for this.

      Perez,

      You can be such an insensitive prick sometimes. Why are you making jokes about something so serious? They lost everything. How would you like it if gossip bloggers were making fun of you when your house burned down? I love your site..it is way better than TMZ. But really….don't joke about someone elses hard times. BTW he is in Shreveport, Louisiana (where I live) filming. I saw him and Val Kilmer at a restaurant the other night with the producers of the movie they're filming called "Microwave Park".

      the house isn't even that nice, its decorated like a retirement community condo in florida. they keep saying it's one of the largest in Dix Hills, but the address is actually in Huntington Station, which is not the safest area to be living in. no big loss.

    37. Crazy says – reply to this


      37

      That crazy bitch burnt the house down since she had until May 31 to evacuate as per the judge!! What a sicko! I guess if she couldn't have it 50 Cent shouldnt either!

    38. Michel says – reply to this


      38

      I don't think Fiddy or whats her face would put their son in harm's way. For what? makes no sense……….

    39. trinst says – reply to this


      39

      well, either 50 had someone burn it to show her who is in charge - or she had someone start the fire - to show him - now you can't have your house and possibly your son …you know how people can go pyscho sometimes, if I can't have it my way, there will be no way at all.

    40. usabba says – reply to this


      40

      KevinK: I agree with you. 50 probably has insurance on the house, so to light it up to get his wife out is probable, but why endanger his own son? I don't think that would happen! But guess who is home when the fire starts? She could have started the fire to say 'fuck you if I can't have it neither can you!". Just a thought.

      Are his GUMS a little large? Don't ppl usually get those veneers when they look like that? I'm surprised he doesn't have big gold veneers like a pirate……or gangsta.

      I think the baby mama did it..You know the old, "If I cant have it no one will..61st



    61. 61

      I highly doubt that fifty would burn down a house with his son in it! C'mon now! Even if he and his babymama have issue's, I don't think he would stoop to that level! Give the man some credit!

    62. Adam says – reply to this


      62

      To the person who said 50 has awesome teeth…. most of his teeth are fake. He had some brown out when he took a bullet to the mouth. Also just other teeth he had replaced, that were kind of rotten from the years where he didn't have money. Im sure if you did some searching you could find an interview where it was discussed.

      fuck! i think his girlfriend did it! he always hooks up with skanks like dat. shes just trying to get some money outa fifty.

      64

      I think it's his ex bitch who had some nigga start the fire cause she's a money hungry bitch and if you hear about everything like the aruging and what it's about- it's about that bitch wanting more money and shit.. well fuck- now this fire happened and she's blaming him? I think someone is tryin to collect ya dig.

      obviously she had someone set the fire cuz she can't afford the damn house anymore. greedy bitch…

    66. Diana says – reply to this


      66

      She was supposed to be moved out by the end of the school year. We all know dam well that she had someone burn that house down so she wouldn't have to give it back to 50 to move some other hoe into it.

      Fif got too much $$ to worry about this stff. He aint care about this for a Minute except his son of course. I think she is just after Fif's $$ knowing how filthy rich he is and he refuses to give her all that $$ for her to spend on her Boyfriend. Its his hard earned $$. Fif will get his insurance $$ and be straight. GGGG G-Unit.
