A fire destroyed a mansion of the rapper, 50 Cent, on the morning of May 30, 2008. At the time of the fire, 50 Cent was not at the mansion.
The house in Long Island was at the center of a bitter feud between the music star and his ex-girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins.
Six people, including his 10 year old son, were transported to the hospital from smoke inhalation.
Arson investigators were called to the scene after the firefighters got the blaze under control.
Tompkins indicated that something was thrown through a window in order to start the fire. She also stated that she believed that 50 Cent was responsible because "he knew I was going to get that house".
