Once upon a time, before the rapper's Long Island house mysteriously burned down, 50 Cent's baby mama Shaniqua Tompkins tried to get her name on half of the deed. After the house was reduced to a blanket of ash on the ground, Tompkins maintained that 50 had pledged to share his riches (she stood by him when he was unknown and allegedly bought him a diamond ring and watch because that was "part of the makeup of being a rapper"), but it turns out the oral contract between the two doesn't mean much in a court of law. The Daily News reports that a "Manhattan judge has tossed Shaniqua Tompkins' lawsuit against the 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' rapper...Describing the case as a 'unfortunate tale of a love relationship gone sour' [and] ruling that none of Tompkins' allegations have merit." In a statement 50 responded to the decision, saying: "I hope now that we can put this behind us and move forward with our lives." Too bad there's already talk about appealing!
