50 Cent also known as Curtis Jackson. The Long Island mansion at the center of a dispute between rapper 50 Cent and his former girlfriend was destroyed in a fire Friday in what one firefighter said were suspicious circumstances. EPA/VALDRIN XHEMAJSix people were hospitalized for smoke inhalation and were reported in stable condition. The blaze completely gutted the mansion and occurred while the violence-prone rapper was filming a movie on location in Louisiana. The fire broke out after a week of tense depositions between the rapper and Shaniqua Tomkins, the estranged mother of his son. Tomkins claims that 50 Cent (real name: Curtis Jackson) promised her the house over a decade ago. One of the first firefighters to arrive at the house, Dix Hills Fire Department Chief Larry Feld, told Newsday, 'I would say there is a strong - a strong, strong - possibility that [the fire] is suspicious.' When asked why, he replied: 'The rapid movement of the fire. The volume of the fire ... It was engulfed. The home was totally gutted.'
