Looks like Shaniqua may have to get a real job...

As promised, I am back to discuss the 50 Cent drama... I wasn't quite sure how it was going to pan out but it seems as if things did not go in either of their favor, today.

According to published reports, NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York judge on Tuesday ordered U.S. rapper 50 Cent not to sell the property where a fire destroyed his $2.4 million home and where his ex-girlfriend lived with their son.

State Supreme Court Justice Carol Edmead also ordered the woman, Shaniqua Tompkins, to pay the rapper $4,500 in rent by Friday for staying in the house during its final month, lawyers for both sides said.

Tompkins sued 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, for half of his estate based on an oral agreement the two made early in their decade-long relationship, said Tompkins' lawyer, Paul Catsandonis.

Tompkins was living in the Long Island home with their 10-year-old son until a fire broke out in the early hours of May 30. Police said they were investigating the fire as suspicious.

Tompkins escaped through a window and six people, including children, were treated for smoke inhalation, Catsandonis said.

"I think it speaks volumes about Mr. Jackson" that he would compel Tompkins to pay the rent, Catsandonis said, calling it an "undue hardship."

But 50 Cent's lawyer, Brett Kimmel, said Tompkins has repeatedly ignored court orders to pay the rapper, and that paying rent was a condition of her continuing to live in the house.

"My client is not the one who started a lawsuit for $50 million," Kimmel said.

The two are due back in court on July 15.

Since his debut album in 2003, 50 Cent has built a business with a record label, a clothing and footwear line, ringtones and video games. He has also starred in a movie based on his life, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."

So with all that being said, sometimes it is best to leave well enough alone. It seems as if we would have never knew anything about Shaniqua Tompkins had she never tried to pull the infamous Kim Porter move and try to up the child support. It seems to me that this chick is just plain greedy, I mean how many of us have baby daddies who are worth anything let alone over 100 million plus. Realistically, what was she going to spend the money on... as they say inquiring minds want to know?

This whole story is sad because it really paints 50 Cent as the bad guy but Ms. Tompkins seems like a real dummy. And I do realize she was his choice of female prior to getting money and in the game but damn she is really hood! I checked out TMZ today, and she was really out her mind. Her lawyer basically should have told her to keep it quite.

To end this... I guess I'll pick this issue up on July 15th, or some time sooner depending on the level of drama that accompany this one...
