A Long Island house owned by 50 Cent burned down this morning, and six people went to the hospital as a result of the blaze, according to Newsday. 50 had been trying to evict his ex-girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, and their 10-year-old son Marquise from the six-bedroom house in Dix Hills after he demanded that she pay $4,500 a month in rent to stay; in response, Tompkins took Curtis to court, saying that the rent payment demand constituted breach of contract because 50 had promised to put the house in her name. It was unknown whether or not Tompkins was living in the house as of this morning; you may not be surprised to find out that, according to Suffolk County police, arson investigators were on the scene this morning, trying to figure out just how the fire started.
