50 Cent is not happy that his baby mama Shaniqua Tompkins is accusing him of setting the house fire that almost killed her and their 11 year old son Marquise. The rapper served his ex-girlfriend with court papers for a $20 million dollar lawsuit to make Shaniqua stop talking about the suspicious fire that destroyed the house they were fighting over. Shaniqua has received an order of protection and the judge ordered Fiddy to turn over his guns. Watch an interview with Shaniqua where she accuses the rapper of threatening to kill her.
Rapper 50 Cent served his former girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, with a $20 million defamation lawsuit on Friday outside a Suffolk County, N.Y., court, for allegedly making offensive and false statements about the hip-hop star.
Following a fire on May 30 which burned down a Long Island home owned by 50 Cent (real name: Curtis Jackson) – in which Tompkins was living with their 11-year-old son, Marquise – Tompkins made defamatory statements, according to Jackson's court documents, accusing him of "trying to kill" her and their son by setting the fire.
"It's simply not true," Jackson's attorney, Brett Kimmel, told PEOPLE. 50 Cent was in Louisiana filming the movie Microwave Park with Sharon Stone at the time of the blaze.
Despite the defamation suit, Tompkins – who on Friday was granted a temporary order of protection against Jackson by the judge which prohibits Jackson from contacting her and Marquise – repeated the sentiments for which she's being sued to PEOPLE outside the Long Island courtroom. "He always threatened me," said Tompkins, who filed suit against 50 Cent earlier this year, alleging he promised her the house – valued at $2.4 million – over a decade ago. "If someone threatens you on Monday and you jump out of a second floor window on Friday, that's the facts, you decide."
A judge has ordered 50 Cent to surrender any guns he owns as part of a temporary restraining order issued against him by his ex-girlfriend. On Friday the rapper's 's lawyer said that he plans to contest the order and insists 50 (a.k.a. Curtis Jackson) does not have access to guns, and never did. "To my knowledge, he has no guns," attorney Brett Kimmel said on Friday.
The judge's order forbids 50 Cent from being in contact with Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of his 10-year old son, without the court's permission.
