50 Cent claims when he found out his son Marquise's cell phone was destroyed in the fire, he sent him a new one, along with a duffel bag of new clothes but his baby mama Shaniqua Thompkins "failed and refused to give the cell phone to the child...."
50's lawyers say, "The only way 50 can communicate with his son is to call Shaniqua's cell phone. On June 11 she did allow 50 to speak with his son, but she hovered over Marquise, monitoring the conversation and, and after a short while, snatched the phone from him and began yelling at 50," who eventually hung up on her. Shaniqua has "made it practically impossible" for 50 to speak to or see his son, according to a petition filed this week in Suffolk County Family Court.
50 says her behavior is a "willful violation" of their custody agreement and is asking for a court order to put him back in touch with his son. 50 is also suing Shaniqua for defamation for telling anybody who will listen that he is the one behind the blaze that burned her and Marquis' Dix Hills home to the ground. "Besides hurting his [50's] reputation, the rumors have had a damaging impact on their son. There comes a point where you can no longer sit on your hands and listen to her spread these falsehoods," say 50's lawyers
