50 Cent has been dubbed a bad dad by the mother of his ten-year-old son Marquise.
Shaniqua Tompkins, who escaped a fire on Friday at the New York mansion the star owns, claims 50 Cent has yet to call to check on Marquise, who was at the house with his mother when the blaze started.
She tells the New York Daily News, “He didn’t even attempt to call his son to see how he was doing. A good father would do that.”
Tompkins has accused the rapper of starting the fire. He was shooting a movie in Louisiana when it took place.

50 Cent had his diamond-encrusted chain stolen by an overzealous fan during a recent concert in the African country of Angola.
The In Da Club hitmaker, real name Curtis Jackson, was performing in Luanda with his G-Unit crew when one man jumped up onto the stage and grabbed the jewelry from his neck.
In grainy video footage posted online, the assailant can be seen running off with the chain as 50 Cent and his entourage chase after him.
According to TMZ.com, 50 Cent caught up with the thief and is alleged to have punched him before claiming back his prized chain.
A source tells the website, “The chain is around 50’s neck right now.”

The rapper said of the victory, “I’m a winner.”

50 Cent is defending his decision not to retire after losing out to Kayne West on their album sales “bet”. 50 claims that it’s “impossible” for rappers to retire and quit. 50, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has vowed to continue to try and dominate the charts with his music.
He says, “I don’t know if it’s possible for a rapper to retire, rappers are like fighters.”
“They condition themselves to be the best. All rappers think they are the best. And they are just waiting for everyone else to recognise they are the best.
“You’ll see them come back and come back.”
I guess this is true…

I hear that 50 Cent has attacked a co-star on the set of his new movie Righteous Kill. 50 allegedly got into a “heated argument” with actor Frank John Hughes after he confronted Jackson about not knowing his lines. Apparently, paramedics were called to the scene from the altercation.
“Frank tried to correct 50 Cent and he got really upset… Before it was all over 50 Cent had Frank on the ground pummeling him.”
“The paramedics looked at Frank and he’s OK. It’s everyone else here that’s still shaken up… No one is trying to get on 50 Cent’s bad side.”
There is no word on whether charges will be filed.
Gosh, what would he have done to Richie Sambora on SNL this past week if he was Jon Bon Jovi?

Kanye West and 50 Cent have taken their publicity war to the pages of Rolling Stone.
With both having albums dropping on September 11, these two marketing geniuses were more than happy to pose and heat up the the greatest debate of our time: Who will be the next “king of hip hop”?
According to the editor’s note, Kanye wants everyone to know that this photo is legit. “I feel like it should say, This is not photoshopped,” he says. “This is real. It’s a moment.”
As for 50? “From a hip-hop perspective, it’s the biggest event possible.”
Team Kanye or Team 50? (I personally love Kanye…)

On Monday, the rapper was ordered by Suffolk County Support Magistrate Aletha V. Fields-Ferraro to immediately pay $10,000 for the support of his son, Marquise Diamond Jackson, 10. The boy’s mom, Shaniqua Tompkins, was also granted $15,000 in monthly expenses. And Fitty was already in a bad mood. When he arrived at the courthouse with a posse of four, he balked at going through metal detectors and caused a commotion as he vainly demanded VIP treatment. Their next court date is June 11.
