50 Cent Cleared Of Charges In House Fire Incident, Commends Rick Ross

by Jokesta on May 4th, 2009

Hip Hop power player 50 Cent has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the fire that consumed his Long Island Mansion occupied by his son, Marquise Jacksonn, and Marquise's mother, Shaniqua Tompkins.

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/597/633/15435/asset.jpgFif was being investigated after the $1.4 million estate went up in a blaze while he was trying to get Tompkins, the mother of his child, evicted.

Tompkins and their son were both taken to the hospital after the blaze which resulted in both parties filing restraining orders against each other.

According to reports, the police department and insurance investigators ruled that there is absolutely no proof or evidence suggesting that Fif or any affiliated parties were involved.

Fif was cleared of all accusations. The investigation will continue until the guilty party is found.

Fif Commends Rick Ross On Success

In related 50 Cent news, the rapper recently commended his current arch-nemesis Rick Ross for the success of his latest LP, Deeper Than Rap.

Fif reluctantly admitted to MTV News that Deeper Than Rap--despite the numbers--was a success.

“I think you can be a disappointment to the system based on how much of an effort and the money that they spent marketing, but you can’t call a number one a flop under any circumstances,” 50 explained.

“It’s still number one.”

LOL. Word. These niggas should really think about venturing into animation on a more ‘permanent’ basis – JUST IN CASE their rap careers go sour – no wait a minute, 50 has ‘how many sideline businesses’ now again?

Ah well, what’s 1 more if you can afford to PLAY with your money like fiddy does!!!!!!!

He gave him his props. He did get the number one album, but in all honesty except for like 2, maybe 3 songs Deeper Than Rap was a letdown. Who puts that many diss tracks on their ALBUM? save that for underground mixtapes. To me it just seems like he was having a hard time finishing his album so he went and dissed 50 so he could have subject matter to help him finish his album…

Even though it did get to #1 it was a flop. Look at the massive amount of money they spent on Ross compared to the numbers Jadakiss pulled in (that could just be for the simple fact that Jadakiss’ album is A LOT better than Ross’ also).

Mann he gon put that title up there for dramatic effect. I’ve seen the actually video on MTV. THe guy asked em if theres ever been a no. 1 flop and 50 said “No. You can’t call a no. 1 a flop.” What they not saying is that Rick Ross budget is out of this world and that hes in the red. Don’t get it twisted. Def Jam was hoping for more than 150,000. Ross is in the red right now with Def Jam because of all the money he spent. If he don’t sell more records don’t be surprised if he gets dropped from Def Jam.

That just real talk. And scoop, You biased against 50 anyway. Ross whoopin 50 ass??? You a joke nigga. They been destroyed this nigga. Niggaz forget that Jadakiss sold 130,000 WITH NO PROMOTION at all while ross had THE BIGGEST PROMOTION EVER, beefin with 50. And you only sell 20,000 more than a nigga who didn’t have any promotion. That show you right there that people aint really paying attention to ross no more.

Accurate assessment on 50’s part. #1 is still #1 regardless of how you slice it. But the comparison between DTR and TOS is makes NO sense. TOS was a group album, DTR was a solo. 50’s solos have outsold Rick Ross’s. DTR is a solid album though. “Men lie, women lie, numbers dont.”

that wasnt exactly commending!!! the headline is misleading watch the interview..he sais that it was a flop in around about way..saying with all the marketing money he should have sold more..but since it was number 1 that u cant call it that…but consider that there was no real challenge coming out that week,,to me it’s a flop!!!it wont go gold so FLOP!!! at this point in his career he should be having gold albums after 5 weeks and i dont see that happening…

it’s not hard to be a #1 on opening week if so much money and marketing is being invested in your album and nobody else is dropping on the same time. who’s album really was released a few weeks before that can say they were putting up 200k in #’s on any week but the 1st week of sales? 50 said the right thing because it technically is the #1 album sold that week, but he and the rest of the camp were clowning ross for flopping hard and how his cd signing @ best buy had nobody there lol….all 50 needs to do is sell 200k in week one, and this is an instant win for fif.

It amazes me how 50 knows what Def Jam’s marketing budget for Ross is. I guess that means 50 is really over budget considering he has dropped 3 singles and no album.

This is a good look for 50. Its called maturity lol. If his album sucks, which I’m thinkin it will, 50 cent and Shaquille O’neal will join forces for the WWE and become the most diabolic tag-team duo in history.

“I think you can be a disappointment to the system based on how much of an effort and the money that they spent marketing, but you can’t call a number one a flop under any circumstances,” 50 explained.

Look at these dumb fools sayin 50 beggin Ross and all that bullshit…
50 is just being smart cos there is no way you call anything that is rated number one a flop….it could be 50,000 copies, but as long as it stays number one..it can’t be called a flop…

But in my opinion, Ross album is a flop considering how much energy, finance and blackmail that was put into Deeper Than Snack….

Ross is lyrically good, but he is done…cos I don’t really see how people are gonna take him serious now that its obvious that his big drug lines are fabricated…

actually…

in comparison to the amount of promotion that both projects got (which have been broken down & has been shown Jada pretty much relied on his brand to sell his record) THAT’S NOT ANY REAL PROMOTION as far as Jada’s record is concerned.

rick had the publicity (as bad as it was), as well as a record doing well on billboard on top of all the other promotions they ran to turn in under 160k first week is not a good look.

actually deeper than snacks is ross’s worst week one sales so far out of the three of his albums, and u think his fans would have had bought more considering the guest appearences and beef with 50. he also sold more than jadakiss does that make him better than jada? u guys are stupid


listen to officer down and name one diss track ross has put out that can be comparable.

o yea the best part is he just dissed eminem. career suicide
