A "definitely suspicious" fire has wreak havoc on a mansion in Long Island that 50 Cent owns. Six people including the mother of 50 Cent's son, Shaniqua Tompkins, who were inside the home were sent to the hospital. The home was bought by the G-Unit leader in 2007 for $1.4 million dollars. The house is the center of recent litigation due to 50 trying to evict Tompkins unless she paid him rent.
The fire was reported at 5am this morning and firefighters responded to the fire which caused a nearby highway to be closed. “The fire was huge, I mean huge,” a neighbor said. “I watched the whole fire from our pool. [The house] burned down to the ground.” The rapid movement of the flames raised suspicions among officials with the fire department. “I would say there is a strong, a strong, strong possibility that it is suspicious,” Dix Hills Fire Department Chief Larry Feld said.

Gas Container Found At 50 Cent's Charred Mansion
Police found a five-gallon gas container on the grounds of a mansion at the center of a dispute between 50 Cent and his ex-girlfriend.
On early Friday morning, a fire ripped through the $2.4 million dollar Dix Hills, Long Island mansion, sending 6 people, including Tompkins and the superstar rapper’s 10-year-old son, to the hospital.
While arson investigators have yet-to-determine the cause of the inferno that completely destroyed the mansion, officials had already labeled the fire suspicious, due to the intensity of the blaze, which lasted about 45 minutes.
Tompkins, who accused 50 Cent of having a role in the incident, also accused the rapper of not checking on his son Marquise in the incident’s aftermath.
"Tell him to call his son!" Tompkins shouted at reporters yesterday when she returned to grounds of the property, where she had been living with their son, her new boyfriend and other individuals.
50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson and the boyfriend were involved in a physical confrontation in the office of Tompkins’ lawyer during a deposition hearing, just days before the house was destroyed.
The rapper, 32, denied any involvement in the fire and expressed gratitude that no one was serious injured in the fire.
50 Cent and Tompkins will be in Manhattan Supreme Court over ownership of the mansion on June 10.
