Check out the pics of Kelly Rowland and 50 Cent on the set of “Baby By Me” featuring Ne-Yo. 50 told MTV News that he was dead set on having a celebrity play his love interest versus an unknown video vixen and came up with the idea to use Kelly after running into her at an award’s show. Kelly had less than 2 days notice to make a decision and the rest is history…
“I had to find the right person to be my love interest in the music video. I found Kelly. It matches perfectly. The acting in the project is great. I think when people see it, they are gonna be surprised by it.”
Meanwhile, Kelly may be working on a new record deal with EMI after being dropped from Columbia Records earlier this year. “She’s in the process of closing a pretty big deal. I don’t think she’s going to say yet. She’s got the No. 1 song in the world with David Guetta ‘When Love Takes Over’,” producer Rico Love tells.
50 cent Called into the Ricky Smiley show, and when they asked him was he going to the BET Hip Hop Awards. He Replied, “No, thats Ghetto”
50 Cent on Angie Martinez Sept. 30, 09′
Mikey: Fiddy stopped by the Angie Martinez show this afternoon to talk about his upcoming 50 fest concert in NYC, and of course address the hoopla of Jay-z saying “no one is scared of 50 cent”.
Jay-Z became irritated when a reporter suggested that West would not have stormed the stage at the 2009 VMA’s, had 50 Cent been an accepting an award instead of country singer Taylor Swift.
Jay Z:
“I think he would have done that if that was 50 Cent,” Jay-Z also told reporter. “No one is scared of 50 Cent. I want everyone to be clear. No one is scared of 50 Cent.”
50 Cent:
“Hip-Hop has cool punk and Jay is the coolest punk in Hip-Hop. He’s big. And his take on it is bigger than the art form and so he won’t compete. But, Battling has been a part of the culture.”
Although 50 Cent went on to say that he did not have any problems with Jay-Z, he firmly stated that no one would storm his stage if put in the same situation.
“When he has to say no one is scared of 50 Cent, it’s because the public is responding to his punk presentation,” 50 Cent said. “Kanye wouldn’t take the trophy from me and neither would Jay-Z.”
The rapper took numerous shots at Kanye West during the interview, implying that Chicago emcee could be homosexual, due to his association with Lady GaGa’s upcoming “Fame Kills Tours.”
50 also revealed that Shady Records boss Eminem is not happy with the track “Forever,” which features Drake, Kanye West and Lil Wayne.
“I don’t think Em knew everyone was going to be on the record,” 50 Cent said. “Initially I think he just did a verse with it. He mixed his records and then they remixed it. I don’t think he’s happy with that at all.”
50 Cent is currently preparing for his upcoming Thisis50 Festival, which takes place October 3 at The Beach on Governors Island.
The rapper said he will debut new music from his upcoming album Before I Self Destruct during the festival this weekend.
50 Cent, has teamed up with beauty Kim Kardashian to release a fragrance for his new cosmetic company called “Lighthouse Beauty.”
Wow, Fif….this gal cleans up better than I’d expect.
Keeping the beef alive, the mother of Rick Ross’ son, Tia Kemp, will in fact release her memoirs, Tia’s Diary: Deeper Than Rap, sometime in May, reports ThisIs50.com.
50 Cent first announced the book in February in a video, which also showed the Queens MC taking Kemp – not to be confused with Ross’ ex who appears in a sextape – on a shopping spree in New York City. Though he will not be publishing the project, 50 will retain a financial stake in its release.
Tia’s Diary, originally intended to drop the same day as the Boss’ third album Deeper Than Rap, has no concrete release date at press time.
Yeesh….remind me never to get my baby mama mad.
A couple months back the feud between Rick Ross & 50 Cent sparked and then escalated from a couple of subliminal chosen words of attack on a track to an all out assault of character by both MayBach Music and G-Unit members. On Tuesday, March 31st, both rap artist were scheduled to do a performance for the grand opening of the new Maily Cyrus attraction in Disney World, Orlando Florida. While 50 Cent was performing his set Rick Ross appears from the back of the stage.
The music cut off and everyone was in an uproar thinking something violent was about to occur when Rick Ross pulls his hand out of his jacket pocket and it was a gestures to shake hands. 50 Cent said he won’t shake his hand, Ross looked at 50 Cent in dismay and then 50 said, “hug it out, witch”, as he leaped into Ross’s arms. The 2 Rap stars are scheduled to record a duet collaboration against the harmful behavior of beef. The most shocking part of this whole story is that it’s an APRIL FOOLS prank. Cheers )
50 Cent may enjoy dressing up in a wig and fake nails a little too much. In the past few weeks, 50’s been dressing up as the character “Curly” in comedic online videos. But now – it seems like 50’s playing dress up even when the cameras are off.
Here’s what a popular Las Vegas newspaper is reporting:
50 is in Vegas to be in Eminem’s 1st single video for his album coming out May 19. He was spotted getting his nails done, wearing a wig, and going to Vegas shows with Ciara (also trying to disguise herself). They spent the weekend watching Cirque du Soleil shows.
Fitty and Ciara were at O inside the Bellagio last night with 50 in disguise, wearing an afro wig, baseball cap and sunglasses while Ciara was sporting a parka. They got to their seats as the show started, escorted by a body guard, and left right before the performance ended.
50 Cent allegedly has video. Video of Rick Ross’ other baby moms, Brooke. And this isn’t like when Fif took Tia to Jumpoff-DisneyLand (aka the Gucci store)…at…all.
A source tells TMZ 50 Cent plans to release a porn tape featuring one of Rick Ross’ baby mamas. We’re told 50 bought the tape and will post it on his own site — and even provide voice-over on it. This is 50! The feud between the two rappers has included animated videos, radio station disses and a video where 50 Cent took another of Ross’ baby mamas shopping for clothes.
Rick Ross talks.
And boy does he talk. He addresses the DJ Vlad situation in the interview. Funk Flex talks to him, but its definitely time for that Boogaloo interview so we can get to the real deal. I am positive this will get DJ Vlad more upset that he already is.
But you have to WATCH for yourself.
50 Cent Presents Pimpin’ Curly “The Fast Lane” – Episode 4: “Meet Uncle Pinky” Guest Starring Clifton Powell (From “Friday”
Clearly calling out 50 Cent by filming in the rapper’s city, Rick Ross has recorded a music video for his diss song “Kiss My Pinky Ring” showing he’s not afraid to step foot in Fif’s territory.
Along with displaying various clips of Ross and his entourage traveling through New York, the Miami rapper also featured alleged pedestrians calling out 50.
50 Cent called up Russ Parr to discuss everything from Rick Ross to Foxy Brown. First 50 talks about Tia (Rick Ross baby mother) saying he spent around $8,000. 50 says DJ Khaled took it too far saying “if you want to do photoshop photos of me, I don’t have a problem with that.” 5th then talks Foxy saying “the only cool thing he can have on his resume is sleeping with Foxy Brown” In related news, 50 Cent and G-Unit continue their world touring.

50 CENT BEING INSENSITIVE ABOUT THE CHRIS BROWN RIHANNA FIGHT AND ……WELL SEE FOR YOURSELF. Just know that if this rap thing doesn’t work for 50 he can become a successful comedian. Wow!!!
HILARIOUS!!! 50 CENT talks about everything in his new song dissing RICK ROSS AND FRIENDS
called “TIA TOLD ME”
In Other 50 vs Ross News:
RICK ROSS…GOT HACKED.
The funniest thing ever. The site that hosted negative pics of 50’s son has been HACKED. 50 Cent and his internet warriors just don’t play that. The site, which shall remain nameless now goes to a porno site.
G-Unit’s Lloyd Banks has responded to a recent direct diss from Rick Ross by striking back with his new track, “Officer Down.”
“Too easy man, can’t a motherf*cker ’round you see me/You need an AK and a Genie, a whole pound of Wheaties,” Banks raps. “He been talking ’bout the weight he push/Used to punch the clock in jail/Drove his mama car around/Now he got what you want for sale/See it, I bought it/It’s official if I flaunt it…We’ll be here long after you disappear/This is proof/One fifty one in the booth…You Super Thug/I’m kryptonite/Sleep with me, your b*tch just might/Same promotion, different fight…This is like practice/Pay your taxes before you spit my name all backwards…50 bodies you, I just lay the chalk around.” (This Is 50)
Rick Ross called out Banks in his song “PUSH EM OVER THE EDGE”
“Lloyd Blanks, I know you wonder why I ain’t say nothing about your b*tch a**,” Ross says in the song. “But I can never acknowledge you. You sucked your assistant’s d*ck on tape and he licked it. You’re a f*cking, d*ck sucking, f*ggot…Lloyd Banks, your career is over.” (You Tube)
50 Cent’s personal attacks took an ominous and unprecedented turn last night (February 11) when the mogul released a voyeuristic clip of DJ Khaled’s mother.
The video, entitled “A Psychic Told Me,” begins with 50 writing a poem boasting of damaging Khaled’s property and knowing his mother’s whereabouts.
“Your tires got stabbed out,” 50 states. “Now you know I know where you be…I know where your momma house at, now look you can see…I know where your momma work at, now look at her sleep.”
The video shows a property residence and mailbox number late at night.
Also shown is a sleeping woman, alleged to be Khaled’s mother, while unidentified members of 50 Cent’s entourage hover around her flashing thisis50.com t-shirts.
In addition, the cameraman records photos of Khaled’s family that are visible on the office desk. 50 ends the piece by warning “I’m not the kinda ni**a you should f**k with B, I’m special. I have less compassion than the average human being.”
With that, gunshots ring out in the background.
While the feud is primarily between Rick Ross and 50, the G Unit CEO has repeatedly accused Khaled of instructing Ross to go after him.
Although 50 and Ross have exchanged diss records, both have put considerably more efforts into attacks outside of battle records, such as carton clips, legal documents, and websites.
Because of invasion of privacy issues, it is possible 50 Cent’s viral clip may open up legal ramifications.
At press time, DJ Khaled could not be reached for comment.
50 Cent may have a new adversary within a day’s time.
The G-Unit leader has upset rapper Foxy Brown, who was briefly mentioned in the ballooning war of words with Miami heavy weight Rick Ross.
Foxy Brown says she is granting 50 Cent 24 hours to retract the line where she is briefly mentioned on “Try Me.”
On 50 Cent’s diss track, he says, “The cop f**ked a fox.” The line, although scant, refers to a brief, personal relationship Rick Ross and Brown had. It also refers to Ross’ past as a correctional officer.
Foxy Brown’s camp issued a statement that proclaims that she has no involvement in the conflict between the two rap titans.
In a statement to AllHipHop.com, Brown’s representative stated, “Foxy is giving that n***a 24 hour to retract that statement or she’s going handle Brooklyn Style.”
Ironically, after 50 Cent wrote the initial song, Rick Ross gave 50 Cent 48 hours to offer a more substantial response. 50 Cent returned with a number of insulting videos, including cartoons and a taped shopping spree with the mother of Ross’ child.
Currently, Brown is working on her new album Black Roses, which is expected to be in stores this summer.
Rumors swirled that Foxy Brown and Rick Ross were to be married, but those proved to be false.

EXTRA:
Finally, Ross brushed off the video of 50 with his child’s mother, denying that he doesn’t take care of his son and that he never had an actual “relationship” with the woman beyond employment. “I done dressed over 10,000 kids . She was a maid of mine,” Ross revealed. “And the child is being taken care of. It didn’t offend me. That’s what I expect from her.”
50 Cent continued his Rick Ross bashing media tour by appearing on Miami’s Power 96 radio station First 50 says that Rick Ross doesn’t have the money he says he does stating “I have artists who have more money then Rick Ross’ continuing, “He’s a fraud… I feel like there is something wrong from a hip hop prospective for you to be a part of law enforcement and totally write your career that you are the biggest drug dealer in Miami”
When asked if he is scared the beef with Rick Ross could escalate to the level of Biggie and Tupac, 50 replied “In all honesty, if he went far enough for me to be agitated from my end, that could happen to him.” When asked if he would ever diss or attack anyone if they didn’t go at him first 50 said no, of course not, saying “it would make absolutely no sense.” 50 says the beef is part of hip-hop and if he didn’t respond to Ross “then that would mean I’m saying I’m bigger then the actual artform. That I’m not willing to compete as a hip-hop artist.” In the latest interview, 50 talked about dealing with his problems himself unlike Jay-Z saying Jigga “brought artists around him to deal with altercations instead of him having to deal with them. When he had issues with Jadakiss, it was Beanie Sigel and Jadakiss because he put someone in front of him. When he had issues with Cam’ron, he had Tru Life smack Cam’ron”
The Game appeared on Q93 in Seattle to give a little update on his current situation. Game says “I’ve been in the studio for the last 40 hours.” Game talked about the famous Madden video game battle with Bow Wow saying “Bow Wow was writing checks his ass can’t cash… I won’t on and handled that boy. I 21-stomped him” saying “I ended up beating dude by so much that it was crazy.” When asked what he thinks about the 50 Cent and Rick Ross beef, Game says “for the first time in four years man, I kinda like lo-key riding with 50 on this one. For the first time in four years, I’m siding with this dude.” Game goes on to say “Ross call me on my phone man… So I can get you out of this mess.”
The beef between rappers 50 Cent and Rick Ross has taken another turn, as the mother of Ross’ 2-year-old son has now come under a microscope.
Documents hit the Internet last night pertaining to Tia Kemp’s rap sheet, in an apparent attempt to undermine her credibility.
According to Broward County Courthouse records, Tia Kemp was involved in a felony case two years ago.
She was charged with one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, two counts of battery and three counts of child neglect/delinquency for the unnamed incident, which took place in April 2007.
Prior to the 2007 case, Kemp was in court for another felony case in 1997.
Miami-Dade County court records show the single mother received felonies for witness tampering and threats. The discovery of Kemp’s criminal record is the latest development in the ongoing war of words between Ross and 50 Cent.
The Miami-based rapper ignited talk of a dislike for 50, after he criticized 50’s legal drama with the mother of his son, Shaniqua Tomkins, on the song “Mafia Music.”
A response from 50 soon followed with “Officer Ricky (Go ‘Head, Try Me),” an attack on Ross’ previous employment as a corrections officer.
Days later, Ross alluded to the cause of the beef on Angela Yee’s Lip Service show on Shade45 XM/Sirius satellite radio show, while challenging 50 to come up with a better response in two day’s time.
The G-Unit leader obliged with an official declaration of war, a cartoon lampooning Ross and a video that featured Kemp denouncing Ross’ street image and verifying his stint as a corrections officer.
In addition, 50 Cent insults Ross in the video and refers to his mother as “the Nutty Professor,” while taking Kemp on a shopping spree.
The clip, which debuted last week on 50’s website, thisis50.com, has garnered talk among rap fans and furthered fueled the ongoing beef.
Meanwhile, a new video for Rick Ross’ single “Gang Related” hit the Internet, featuring Ross pouring out bottles of Vitaminwater.
Like 50, Ross has utilized the small screen as a vehicle with his recently released music video for “Mafia Music.”
Both rappers have voiced their views on each other on various radio shows around the country.
Fans will decide who has the better album as 50 Cent’s Before I Self-Destruct arrives in stores in March. Ross’ Deeper than Rap will follow his rival’s opus with an April release.
50 Cent has released a video with the mother of Rick Ross’ son.
The 8 minute clip was released today via 50 Cent’s website thisis50.com.
The woman, identified as Tiallondra “Tia” Kemp, confirmed she is the mother of William Roberts III, the rapper’s 2-year old son.
With 50 asking questions, Kemp explains her relationship with her child’s father.
“It’s sort of embarrassing, as you listen to his raps, you would definitely believe him,” Kemp states. “His jewelry is rented, the cars are being leased…It’s just sad. I just want to prove the facts.”
Regarding the controversy last summer of Ross’ stint as a corrections officer, Kemp confirms the story to be true. She claims the rapper lied to her about his previous employment when they lived together. According to Kemp, her suspicions were confirmed after speaking with the Miami rapper’s sister and finding resignation documents.
50 also makes a distinction between Kemp and Brooke, the mother of Ross’ daughter. 50 alleges the latter is a high-end call girl.
Further in the video, Kemp confirms the recent story of Ross taking back a truck he had given her, which followed a heated child support deposition over the rapper’s assets.
“I’ve been driving it for 2 years. I was very surprised he would take it,” Kemp stated. “Right now I have to get someone to pick me and the kids.”
Later, 50 proclaims his intentions to show Kemp a great time, stating slyly “we gonna do some shopping, have a good time and then…y’all can’t see all of that!”
After further insulting Ross by showing a personal picture of his mother and referring to her as the Nutty Professor, the viral video shows Tia Kemp being taken around to various shopping boutiques to pick up shoes and furs on 50’s tab. Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely” is utilized as the soundtrack.
Well 50 Cent is at it again, but this time he was the one responding. Recently we reported that Rick Ross took a shot at 50 cent in his new song “Mafia Music”. The new song features a verse where Ross says “I’m stepping on your crew ’til the motherf*ckers crunch / And making sweet love to every woman that you lust/I love to pay your bills, can’t wait to pay your rent/Curtis Jackson baby mama ain’t looking for a cent/Burn the house down, gotta buy another/Don’t forget the gas can, jealous motherf*cker…” That was enough for 50 to reply. Today the G-Unit general released a new song titled “Try Me” in which he responds to the Miami rapper. 50 raps “officer Ricky radio for backup, see your ass anywhere you know im going to act up.” 50 continues “screaming Boss, nigga you aint a boss, pussy nigga you lost, listen officer Ross // I’ll tell you straight suck a dick, you try come subliminal, because your ass is police, my niggas is criminals”. Ross wasn’t 50’s only target, at the end of the track 50 calls out Lil Wayne saying “this niggas an appetizer, where you at Wayne? You the four course meal Wayne”
LISTEN TO THE SONG: Officer Ricky Go Ahead And Try Me.
There has been some talk of a beef between 50 Cent and Rick Ross, but nothing ever really panned out until recently. Check out this song and you tell me what you think of this line and this song:
“I love to pay her bills/can’t wait to pay her rent/Curtis Jackson baby mama/I aint askin’ for a cent/Burn the house down/gotta buy another/don’t forget the gas can/jealous, stupid muthaf**ka”
Mega producer Kanye West has addressed the recent disses by 50 Cent aiming at his sexuality and music career.
Kanye revealed his stance against his former Sound Scan competitor.
“Just as a real human being, I can’t say that it doesn’t affect me,” Ye said. “He was my favorite rapper since Mase when he dropped, and when I used to be around him, he was one of the few people that I was like really fan of — I’m not here to beef with anybody. I’m trying to bring people together. I realize that my success and my mouth and everything rub people the wrong way every now and then, but I’m not finna have beef with anybody. I really walk around by myself. Like, I don’t wear jewelry. Like all these people are like he’s so arrogant, blah, blah, blah. I’m not arrogant, I’m just truthful.” (Bossip)
50 recently took a shot at Ye’s sexual orientation with the song “Play This On The Radio.”
“First they say that f*ggot hot/Them they let that junkie shot/Keep all them f*cking trophies tell me where the f*ck is mine/Im back on the underground/Back where im home now.” (Metro Lyrics)
He has also publicly mocked the Grammy-winning artist in concert.
“This is an exclusive,” the rapper told the crowd. “I want to perform for you the first single off my album Before I Self Destruct. I hope you all enjoy this.” Then the heartbeat percussion of Kanye’s “Love Lockdown” kicked in, with 50 mockingly lip-synching along with Kanye’s 808s single. 50 actually does a good job copycatting West, right down to Kanye’s onstage posturing. The song cuts out halfway through the first chorus, with Fiddy telling the crowd, “You see that. That’s what you’re stuck with.” The rapper adds, “I’m willing to accept your apologies for that last one.” (Rolling Stone)
Vitaminwater, home to 50 Cent’s “Formula 50,” is being sued for knowingly misinforming its customers about the nutritional information of the drinks. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) filed the class action suit against Coca-Cola (who owns Vitaminwater), saying the company misleads consumers using “buzzwords” in their marketing campaign such as “defense,” “rescue,” “energy” and “endurance.”CSPI leader Steven Gardner says “It is really shocking that a company like Coca-Cola feels the need to market a soft drink as a vitamin pill to hid the fact it is really sugar water.” Coke says the lawsuit is a publicity stunt and its consumers can see what the drink is made of on the side panel of every bottle. 50 Cent is featured in ads forVitaminwater where is reading the Wall Street Journal and retrieves the mail at his Connecticut home, records in his studio and works out in a gym, promoting the drink as part of his daily routine. Another ad shows 50 Cent and DJWhoo Kid taking over a orchestra. 50 purchased a share of the company in 2004 and made a fortune after Coca-Cola bought it in 2007 for $4.1billon dollars. 50 Cent owned 10% f the business and made around $400 million from the buy-out.
THE RETURN OF THE BAD GUY!!!
CLICK TO LISTEN TO 5O CENT NEW SONG: 50 Cent “Play this on the Radio”
50 Cent goes at Lil Wayne and Oprah pretty hard on his new song.
Tells Weezy:
“Dont end up a missing person like, Camron,Ja Rule and Fat Joe!
Tells Oprah:
“F**k You!!
We just got some EXTREMELY interesting news. Rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is on the verge of making a MAJOR PURCHASE.
No not a new car or a house – but the rights to some of the most influential hip hop tracks EVER CREATED.
50 Cent is preparing to aggressively bid for Death Row Records entire catalogue.
The catalogue, which was owned by mogul Suge Knight and is being auctioned in bankruptcy contains all rights to the following albums:
Snoop Dogg – Doggy Style Dr Dre – The Chronic Above the Rim Soundtrack Tha Dogg Pound – Dogg Food 2Pac All Eyez on Me 2Pac The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory Snoop Doggy Dogg Tha Doggfather Lady of Rage Necessary Roughness Snoop Doggy Dogg Dead Man Walkin’ 2Pac Until the End of Time 2Pac Better Dayz 2Pac Nu-Mixx Klazzics
Could this be the beginning of the end for Curtis Jackson?
MTV is hurting really bad right now. Declining viewership among its core audience of 12- to 34-year-olds, is causing the once powerful music network to revamp its image and apparently the premise of Fiddy’s show is what the company wants to steer away from.
“Our new shows will feature themes of affirmation and accomplishment,” says Brian Graden, president of entertainment at MTV Networks music channels and president of Logo. “Our shows are going to focus less on loud and silly hooks and more on young people proving themselves. These are themes that are consistent with the Obama generation.”
Last year everyone couldn’t wait for the beef between Lil Wayne and 50 Cent after the G-Unit general called Weezy “a whore” for appearing on everyone’s records and questioned Lil Wayne’s sexuality after the infamous picture of him kissing Birdman surfaced. But Lil Wayne never replied…untill recently.
A new song “Louisianimal” from the “The Drought Is Over Part 6″ mixtape leaked last month. In the track Weezy fires back saying ‘All about a dollar, fuck two quarters/Bitch I’ll pour syrup in that vitamin water/I hope you die ugly, and tonight will be gorgeous. After the leak, many people speculated that the song was old and was leaked without Lil Wayne’s permission, but 50 is now questioning that.
“Think about it, no one from his camp said it was a leak. We could assume it was leak but he’s a celebrity. If it was a leak, he would come out and say something” 50 said in an recent interview on Shade 45. 50 went on to say “It doesn’t matter if it’s old or not. Now I know how you feel. I’ll leave it like it is right now and wait till I’m comfortable and then I’ll do what I do.”
50 Cent was recently interviewed by ESPN.com about his latest video game, Blood On The Sand. The G-Unit head honcho spoke about whether or not there was any truth to rumors that he and professional boxer Floyd Mayweather got into a fight.
“Yeah, we got into a little scrap, a little boxing match,” said 50. “Well, it wasn’t really much of a boxing match because he hit me in the back of my ear. He’s so fast, he’s just so fast. The thing about it is, everyone who is around him works for him. And for a second, he tried to talk to me like I was one of the people working for him. He tried to tell me what to do so I grabbed him. I snatched his little ass up then he hit me and was like ‘What’s wrong with you?’ We were mad for a second, but then everything went back to normal.”
50 continued, explaining the source of the scuffle. “He was going to do the match in WWE at Wrestlemania and he started telling everyone that I was going to be there. So everyone got all excited and started asking me if I was going to come, and I was like, ‘If you’re really getting $20 million for this, then give me some money.’ He was sitting there with a million dollars cash in a bag, and he kept telling me he was going to get me money for appearing, but I was like ‘No, give me some of that money right there.’ He had one million dollars in the bag, it was physically right in front of me, so why should I have to wait to get paid? Just give me that money right there. He wasn’t with it, and that’s how it all started.”
The rapper claims that he and Mayweather were “cool right after it happened.” 50’s history with the boxer is well-documented, as he bet $1 million on Mayweather in his boxing match against Oscar De La Hoya, and has remained friends with him since, even accompanying him to an appearance at Wrestlemania.
Rapper 50 Cent is speaking out months later on the circumstances leading up to the fire of his Long Island home, which was destroyed by the blaze, and is hinting at his son’s mother being involved.
During an upcoming interview with Access Hollywood‘s TV One Access, the G-Unit frontman revealed his home went up in flames, just days after his ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins was ordered to leave the residence.
“The courts told her she had to leave,” 50 Cent told TV One Access correspondent Quddus. “It’s kind of more like, ‘If I can’t have you, you can’t have it.’” When asked if Tompkins set the fire in response to the order, the rapper declined to specifically name the single mother and deliberately became vague.
“Well, I don’t want to say that… don’t try to make me say something I don’t want to say,” 50 Cent stated. “But the circumstances to it might seem that way.”
The TV One Access interview is the latest development in the aftermath of the home’s destruction, which occurred in May.
According to reports, Tompkins and 50 Cent’s son, Marquise, were among the six people taken to a hospital and later released, after suffering smoke inhalation following the incident.
In a lawsuit filed earlier this year against the rapper, Tompkins claimed the rap star had promised her a house more than a decade ago. A war of words resulted from the suit as Tompkins’ lawyer Paul Catsandonis alluded to an “extremely dangerous incident” between “the parties in question” in his Manhattan office, just days before the fire. Catsandonis further noted that 50 Cent signed an agreement that would give Tompkins half of all his earnings as a Hip-Hop superstar, reports AllHipHop.com.
