Rapper 50 Cent Ex-GF Accuses Him Of Abuse

Rapper 50 Cent Ex-GF Accuses Him Of Abuse. Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of 50 Cent’s eldest son, Marquise Jackson, has recently brought forward serious allegations of past physical and verbal abuse in response to a $1 million lawsuit filed against her. As of April 2026, the legal battle continues to escalate, centering on a 2007 “Life Rights” agreement that Tompkins claims she was coerced into signing.

The Early Years: 50 Cent and Shaniqua Tompkins

Before the diamond chains and global superstardom, it was 50 Cent and Shaniqua. Both Curtis  Jackson and Shaniqua Tompkins shared a life rooted in the streets of South Jamaica, Queens.

Their relationship began in the mid-1990s. It was a period when Jackson was still navigating the world of street hustling. All while trying to break into the music industry under the mentorship of Jam Master Jay. In 1997, the couple welcomed their son, Marquise Jackson. Marquise was the first child for both 50 Cent and Shaniqua.

Some say it was Marquise who would famously inspire his father’s debut studio work. During these formative years, Tompkins was a constant presence, supporting Jackson.

He transitioned from a local rapper to a rising prospect at Columbia Records. However, this era was also marked by volatility. And that volatility would later define their public fallout. Tompkins remained by his side during the infamous 2000 shooting that nearly ended his life. This dedication provided a sense of stability just before his meteoric rise to fame with Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Unfortunately, the couple split. Throughout the years, they had issues. It appears Shaniqua has brought abuse allegations against 50 Cent.

Key Allegations and Legal Timeline

• Abuse Claims (January 2026): In a sworn affidavit, Tompkins detailed allegations of physical and verbal abuse that occurred while she was pregnant with Marquise. She also referenced a 2008 house fire that destroyed her home, suggesting 50 Cent was involved—a claim he has consistently denied.

• Coercion and Duress: Tompkins alleges she signed away the rights to her life story under extreme duress and intimidation after being confronted in a Las Vegas hotel room by 50 Cent’s late manager, Chris Lighty. She states she feared for her life and the lives of her children if she did not comply.

• The $1 Million Lawsuit (July 2025): 50 Cent’s publishing company, G-Unit Books, sued Tompkins for breach of contract after she began discussing their relationship in online videos. The company argues she is contractually prohibited from publicizing details of their history.

Recent Court Activity (April 2026): 50 Cent recently filed a motion to seal portions of Tompkins’ court filings, accusing her of “weaponizing the courtroom” to damage his reputation with decades-old, “defamatory” claims.
