50 Cent is being sued by a former girlfriend who claims he is trying to evict her and their 10-year-old son from their multimillion-dollar home.

The lawsuit filed by Shaniqua Tompkins accuses 50 Cent of breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Her lawyer says this means he broke a promise to give Ms. Tompkins and son Marquise a home.

“This was a house that was promised to Shaniqua up until the closing (completion of the deal),” said Ms. Tompkins’ lawyer, Paul Catsandonis. “Then he decided not to put it in her name. Now he’s trying to put her out of the house. This would mean evicting his own son.”

50 Cent’s lawyer, Bret Kimmel, was not available for comment.

Mr. Catsandonis said the 32-year-old rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, paid about 2.4 million dollars for the house, one of the largest in the Long Island neighborhood of Dix Hills.
He said 50 Cent told Ms. Tompkins, 32, he wanted her and their son in a safe and secure place.

“This is somebody who was with him when he was shot and who nursed him back to health,” Mr. Catsandonis said. “I think what he’s doing is horrible.”

Ms. Tompkins’ lawsuit was filed in Manhattan’s state Supreme Court. It asks the court to declare that she has a right to live in the house.
