50 Cent Files Defamation Suit & Asked to Change His Name

by AL_CAPONE

THURSDAY JUNE 19, 2008

Hip Hop star 50 Cent's (also known as Curtis Jackson) lawyer filed a defamation lawsuit against Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of his 11-year old son Marquise.

The suit is to cease Ms. Tompkins speaking to media outlets and wrongfully accusing the rapper for the fire that brought his 2.4 million dollar Long Island Mansion to the ground in May. The mother stated the rapper was behind the fire, because he was upset. She also revealed that he told her, "If he can't have it, no one can. He said that he was gonna have somebody come kill me and watch what he does, and this is what he did.”

According to The New York Daily News 50's lawyer, Brett Kimmel responded to the charges with, "There comes a point where you can no longer sit on your hands and listen to her spread these falsehoods," 50's lawyer, and. "Besides hurting his reputation, they have a damaging impact on their son."

Problems began for the two parties in regards of the mansion, when 50 Cent was growing tired of Ms. Tompkins living for free in the house, and having other men live there while he pays for the entire accommodations. Courts ruled since then in favor of 50, and ordered her to pay $4,500 for rent, which was ignored by Tompkins.

Following the blaze, 50 Cent claimed in a petition filed in Suffolk Family Court, Shaniqua will not tell him where she is living and not allowing him to see his son. He also adds that she is willfully violating their court ordered custody agreement due to her actions. 50 said he has sent Marquise a duffle bag full of new clothes, as well as a cell phone to stay in touch with the young boy.

In the petition, the rapper states, "The only way [50] can communicate with his son is to call [Tompkins'] cell phone. On June 11 ... [she] did permit [50] to speak with his son,” the complaint reads. “However ... she was hovering over Marquise, monitoring the conversation and, after a short while, she interrupted the conversation by taking the phone from Marquise and began yelling at [50]."

Tompkins lawyers were not available for comment.

In related 50 Cent news, fast food restaurant Taco Bell has approached the rapper with a challenge, offering to donate $10,000 to the charity of his choice if he changes his name for one day.

The fast food chain says that along with the name change, 50 has to stop past a Taco Bell of his choosing and rap his order at the drive-thru window, however, he must use his newly adopted name, 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent. Along with the donation, the particular restaurant the rapper stops by, will feed all the guest for free.

Taco Bell President and CEO Greg Creed states in a letter obtained by OK! magazine, “We know that you adopted the name 50 Cent years ago as a metaphor for change. We at Taco Bell are also huge advocates for change. We encourage you to ‘Think Outside the Bun’ and hope you accept our offer.”

KFC has a bunch of mexicans working in it and Taco Bell has all the niggas.

I hope thats one of the issues that Obama targets when he gets a seat. Im tired of Soul Food inspired Chalupas and Grande' style Wings.

Let the Niggas do KFC

Let the Beaners do Taco Bell

Let the Honkys do McDonalds

Fuck Burger King.

I gotta side with Fif on this one man. That bitch is desperation for attention and money. I hope he wins that case so the bitch can learn not to spread rumors.

PS: LMFAO @ "Think outside the bum" and the name change to 79, 89 or 99 Cent. 50 is a fool if he goes along with that dumb ass president. That's not Greg Creed talking that's the mad cow disease.

I seriously think that the bitch did it herself.

She noticed it early enough to escape without ANYBODY in the house suffering from smoke inhalation. Yet she wasnt aware of it in time to call anybody before it was burnt to the ground.

HMMMM???? Perfect timing?

I'd be willing to bet that that funky bitch SOMEHOW managed to salvage all of her favorite shit out of the house as well.

I dont know why he hasnt found some grimy ass gorilla/Miss Darnella looking hood bitch to beat her stankin ass once a week until she starts acting right.

MsKent, THAT BITCH (50's baby mama)DID THAT SHIT!!!!!!!!! and yeah she a gold digger and a leech. she was ordered to pay the man rent and bucked cause she probably felt entitled to live on someone elses dollar. that is a classic golddigger move. huuummmm.... the man was givin 25 stax a month in child support and bucked and tried to get more. again something that is right up a golddiggers ally. i aint sayin all women are golddiggers, but that bitch is. her ass is toast in court.

He knew she wasn't about shit and yet instead of getting custody of his son totally like a real nigga would, he'll pay all this lazy bitches expenses. Then gets mad when she is doing what comes natural. I mean I would have set that bitch ablazed too, but he did it to himself. Just more proof on how cakish dis nigga really is...

Wow 50 ooops I mean 89 stays on the news heavy lately huh?. I know that dirty Queens hood rat deserve this, but damn where does he expect her to come up with this Gwap,… Unless money really just wants sole custody of their shorty, and want her to look bad in courts, then I guess I see why. B/c We all know this slut ain’t got gwap to even get a lawyer yet alone to pay this shit off.
As Far as Taco Bell goes, LMAO,…if 50 does this will be mad funny, these G-unit niggas is clowns anyway…just think about a commercial of 50, Banks & Yayo in a drive thru Raping about Tacos & Cheluppas,…oh well they’ve Rapped about “Candy shops” so why not!...bitches.
Yo I bet Buck Wishes he also had this Free Taco bell meal plan, he can save money to pay up uncle SAM,…ask Wesley Snipes them IRS cats will lock you black ass up….pay up Buck & stop cryin

50 should just go ahead and do it Berg (the Taco Bell stunt). His rap career is done anyway. When you make an album like Curtis, is when you know your at the end of your rap career.
