An "extreme suspicious" fire burned down rapper 50 Cent's millions of dollars valued house yesterday morning in Long Island, New York. While the authorities is investigating who is the arsonist, we hear that Shaniqua Tompkins, 50 Cent's former girlfriend, accused her ex of being the mastermind behind the arson. From Access Hollywood
Tompkins is claiming the rapper is behind the fire, which engulfed the Long Island home.
“He threatened me. [He said] ‘Watch what I’ll do. I’ll have somebody kill you’ and this is what he did,” Tompkins told reporters following the blaze. “He cannot except that I moved on with my life. He tried to kill me and his own child.”
Tompkins was home at the time, along with 50’s 10-year-old son, Marquise. They, along with four others, were hospitalized after suffering smoke inhalation and later released, according to officials.
“[We] couldn’t make it downstairs. We had to jump out the window,” Tompkins claimed.

“Do you think he hired someone to do this?” a reporter on the scene asked Tompkins after the fire.
“Yes, he’s too much of a coward to do it himself,” she insisted. “He has made no attempt to find out if his son is OK.”
