 50 Cent: Sued by a former girlfriend
Shaniqua Tompkins, former girlfriend of Grammy-nominated rapper 50 Cent has sued against him citing the reason, the rap mogul is trying to evict her and their 10 year old son, Marquise from their multimillion-dollar home.
Tompkins has filed a lawsuit in which she accuses 50 Cent of breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Her lawyer says, this means he broke a promise to give Tompkins and son Marquise a home.
Paul Catsandonis, the lawyer Tompkins said, "This was a house that was promised to Shaniqua up until the closing. Then he decided not to put it in her name. Now he's trying to put her out of the house. This would mean evicting his own son".
Tompkins asks a judge to rule that she has a right to live in the residence, which 50 Cent bought for about $2.4 million.
According to Catsandonis, the 32 year old 50 Cent's house is one of the largest in the Long Island neighborhood of Dix Hills. He said that the rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson was shot outside his grandmother's Queens home in 2000, had told Tompkins, 32, he wanted her and their son in a safe and secure place.
Catsandonis said, "This is somebody who was with him when he was shot and who nursed him back to health. Tompkins met the rapper when she was 15. I think what he's doing is horrible".
The rapper, 50 Cent was sitting in a friend's car when he was shot on May 24, 2000. Bullets hit him in the hand, arm, hip, legs, chest and face, and he spent 13 days in a hospital. The shooter reportedly was killed three weeks later.
Tompkins has already got court order for financial support for their son from 50 Cent.
50 Cent had been nominated for 13 Grammys, including nods for the song "In da Club" and the album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'." In 2005, he starred with Terrence Howard in a semi-autobiographical movie based on that album. He also starred in the 2006 film "Home of the Brave" as a soldier returning home from the Iraq War. |
