Back in May, a fire, which was ruled supicious, destroyed 50s Long Island property.
50 Cent's ex Shaniqua Tompkins, has disclosed she's suing the actor/hip-hop star for $50 million dollars in damages resulting from a fire that destroyed the home she was living in with their son under 50 Cent's name.
Tompkins accused 50 Cent on TMZ cameras of setting the fire and "trying to have her killed". She has since filed a restraining order.
There wasnt a written contract but an expressed oral agreement, which is recognized in the New York courts, Catsandonis told a reporter. "They decided years ago that she was going to be the domestic partner, and she was going to provide the domestic services while he devoted all his time to becoming a Hip-Hop artist. Whatever profits he was able to achieve would be divided equally, and he had promised her and their son that they could live in the house. He breached that contract.
We are moving into the modern era where people are not getting married anymore but are common law husband and wife, he explains. Last month, a judge ordered 50 to not sell the fire-destroyed home and barred him from collecting the insurance proceeds until an arson investigation is completed.
Following Tompkins $50 million dollar lawsuit, the restraining order, and refusal to let the rapper see his 10 year old son, 50 countered with a $20 million dollar defamation and family court suit.
The NY State Supreme Court will hear arguments on July 15 regarding the insurance proceeds on the destroyed home.
