50 Cent's Long Island house burnt to ground, fire deemed 'suspicious'

A raging fire tore through a home in Dix Hills, Long Island, owned by 50 Cent, burning the house to the ground.

Six people inside of the house, including 50's ex -girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins, and their 10-year-old son, Marquise, were sent to the hospital, according to Newsday.

"I would say there is a strong -- a strong, strong -- possibility that it is suspicious," Dix Hills Fire Department Chief Larry Feld said.

When asked what prompted the suspicions, Dix responded:

"The rapid movement of the fire. The volume of the fire . . . It was engulfed. The home was totally gutted."

The home, which was purchased by 50 in 2007, is currently in the middle of a lawsuit between him and Tomkins. Last month 50 attempted to evict Tomkins from the home unless she coughed up $4,500 a month in rent. Tomkins in turn filed a breach of contract suit against 50, claiming he had promised to put all or some of the home in her name.
