Long Island home connected to 50 Cent destroyed by fire

50 Cents fire

A raging fire that one fire official called "definitely suspicious" gutted a Dix Hills home owned by the Grammy-nominated rapper 50 Cent Friday morning, sending six people inside the house to the hospital.

An eyewitness told Newsday that among the injured, all of whom suffered smoke inhalation according to fire officials, were 50 Cent's ex-girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, and their 10-year-old son, Marquise.

"She was all right," eyewitness Frank Hoyte, a Newsday employee, said, adding: "But she was angry." [Newsday]

glad everyone is fine (even if they're angry) it's for the better though, noone should have to live on long island, not even 50 cent's ex-gf.

Where's the context? Fitty was recently in court, trying to boot his child and baby mama from this house. Arson, baby, arson.

yeah 12:28, I hate those people out there on LI with beach access, money, oh all of those things you don't have in your drafty, polluted hipster loft. Oh well...One can still dream though right?

As if everyone who lives on L.I. has money or lives on or near a beach.

Uh, if you're on long island you are always close to some beach.

"your drafty, polluted hipster loft."

I wish. also LI is Pollutionville, USA. Basically contractors just built cardboard guido mansions over landfills in the 60s.
look it up!

cardboard guido mansions? I don't think I've seen one of those. Sounds more like Staten Island or Bay Ridge to me.

LI is the breast cancer capital of the world, in large part because of the landfills (hello south shore ranch homes!), the lousy drinking water (hello chlorine!) and incredibly poor waste management (hello runoffs!).

part of the higher incidence of breast cancer in LI could be explained by the large ashkenazi jewish population

"Uh, if you're on long island you are always close to some beach."

I was responding to the implied claim that everyone on L.I. has "beach access," a term I interpret to mean being located on the beach or within walking distance of a (semi-private) beach.
