A suspicious fire burned through a house owned by rapper 50 Cent in Dix Hills, New York. The house was occupied by his ex girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, and their 10 year old son, Marquise. Six people were taken to the hospital, including the two, for smoke inhalation.
Dix Hills Fire Department Chief Larry Feld told MTV News the blaze was "definitely suspicious." When pressed for details, Feld said, "I would say there is a strong possibility that it is suspicious because of the rapid movement of the fire, the volume of the fire that we had upon arrival, and the intensity. When I arrived — and I got there early — the whole first floor and second floor was engulfed, and the home was totally gutted.
"Let's put it this way," he continued, "this wasn't your ordinary fire."
50Cent attempted to have his baby mama and his son removed from the home in April, unless they paid him rent. The case was due to be heard in Court on June 10th.
50 Cent was on location in Louisiana, filming for a new movie. He expressed concern for everyone in the house, including his son and baby mama, and was grateful no one was hurt.
