A Long Island judge has granted 50 Cent regular access visits to see his 11-year-old son, Marquise Jackson. The custody has been arranged and 50 is now allowed one weekend a month, one month summer vacation, and half of the time their son is off school during Christmas and Spring breaks

The legal battle between 50 and his ex-girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins is ongoing. She was granted an order of protection against him. Shaniqua stated that she felt 50 Cent may have been responsible for a fire which gutted his $2.5 million dollar long island home while she and Marquise were sleeping inside.

50 Cent strongly denied her claims and responded by filing a $20 million dollar defamation lawsuit.

Because of the Order Of Protection that Shaniqua secured against the rapper she had to drop their son off at a police precinct in Queens on visiting weekends where the boy was picked up by 50 Cent or his driver. Not sure if that arrangement is still in effect.

The cause of the “suspicious” fire at 50’s Long Island Mansion is still undetermined.

Fifty says, “I’m not going through a custody battle; just a transition. I’d like to be able to just see my baby… In the summertime, for the first two years I was successful, my son has traveled with us on those tours. He was on the Rock the Mic Tour, he was on the Anger Management Tour. This summer, when he’s free, it’s, like, no communication. It’s tough…I really don’t wanna talk about it, because my son at some point will have the opportunity to see the tapes. She’s still his mother, and I’m still his father, regardless. He’s gonna love both of us.”

I have to say I am actually quite taken a back that 50 didn’t call his son’s mom a B I T C H. She is definitely not thinking clearly these days and only seeing dollar signs. There is no reason why 50 shouldn’t be able to see their son, I doubt he tried to ‘kill’ them in that fire. He isn’t that cold!

Her court papers were filed in Manhattan, and she alleges breach of contract, claiming he had promised to buy a $2.4 million Dix Hills house for her and their child, Marquis Jackson, but instead listed the house in his name only.

She lived with him for 4 years until their breakup in 2001. She had gone to court a few months back asking for an increase in child support payments, asking for $50,000 only to have the judge’s ruling in February lower the monthly amount down to $6,700.

Supposedly she and her extended family which includes a new lover, are all living in the Long Island house which 50 Cent is also paying for. The cheek of her, no wonder he wants them all out!

The first round between 50 and Kanye West may be headed for a knock-out! I was reading Billboard and they claim that ‘Ye’s Graduation is on track to sell about 575,000-700,000 copies its first week out, while 50’s Curtis is slated for 550,000.

I also checked out SoundScan as they have tallied the one-day figures as well: West sold 437,000 copies while 50 moved 310,000. To make it all the more ‘painful’ Kanye seems to be crushing at some stores in 50’s hometown of New York!

I think 50 cent is desperate to win this combat with Kanye. He is now whoring himself with Paris Hilton for some attention! I just don’t know why these two would even be seen together after what Paris has said about African American people.

Either way here is 50 giving Paris a kiss, how sweet! I think he knows that Kanye is going to beat him so he is taking what he can get until his music career is over.
