The Lawsuit: G-Unit Books vs. Shaniqua Tompkins Over 'Life Rights'
The relationship between 50 Cent and his eldest son’s mother, Shaniqua Tompkins, has been famously contentious for years, primarily centering on their son, Marquise Jackson. However, the drama took a sharp legal turn in late 2024 when 50 Cent’s publishing company, G-Unit Books, filed a massive $1 million lawsuit against Tompkins.
The core of the legal action is a "life rights" agreement. G-Unit Books alleges that Tompkins breached a contract she signed years ago, which supposedly gave the company exclusive rights to her life story. The lawsuit claims that Tompkins violated this agreement by posting unauthorized "tell-all" content and videos online, specifically discussing her relationship with 50 Cent, which the company claims infringes on their property.
The lawsuit is a powerful example of 50 Cent’s reputation as an aggressive businessman who leverages the legal system. As of the most recent updates, 50 Cent was reportedly seeking a default judgment against Tompkins after she allegedly failed to respond to the federal court summons, indicating his ruthless pursuit of the matter.
Adding to the complexity, Tompkins has publicly accused 50 Cent of abuse during their relationship, a claim he has vehemently denied and has reportedly prompted him to pursue further legal action against her for defamation. The ongoing legal battle ensures that the saga of 50 Cent and Shaniqua Tompkins remains highly visible and deeply acrimonious.
Daphne Joy, Diddy Rumors, and the Fight for Sole Custody
While Shaniqua Tompkins is fighting a publishing lawsuit, Daphne Joy, the mother of 50 Cent’s youngest son, Sire Jackson, is embroiled in a controversy that has shocked the entertainment world. The drama stems from the high-profile legal battles surrounding music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs.
In mid-2024, speculation exploded online that Daphne Joy was the anonymous "Victim #2" or "Jane Doe" mentioned in the lawsuits and testimonies against Diddy, with whom she was rumored to have had a relationship. 50 Cent, known for his provocative social media commentary, publicly fueled these rumors, posting and then deleting content that seemed to confirm the speculation.
The Diddy-related scandal had immediate, serious consequences for her co-parenting relationship with 50 Cent. Sources close to the rapper reported that, "Given the latest developments and news of Daphne Joy's involvement in the Diddy lawsuit, 50 is going for sole custody of his son Sire." This move for sole custody is a direct result of the perceived negative impact of the public scandal on their 13-year-old son, Sire Jackson.
Defamation Lawsuit: Rape Accusations
The custody battle is complicated by yet another legal dispute: 50 Cent is also suing Daphne Joy for defamation. This lawsuit was filed after Joy posted an accusation on Instagram in March 2024, alleging that 50 Cent had raped her. 50 Cent’s legal team claims the statement is false and has severely damaged his reputation as an entrepreneur and television producer. The defamation case and the custody motion are now running concurrently, painting a picture of a deeply broken co-parenting dynamic.
The Children: Marquise and Sire Jackson
The most tragic consequence of these public disputes falls on 50 Cent’s two sons, Marquise and Sire Jackson. The rapper’s relationship with his children is as complex as his relationship with their mothers.
Marquise Jackson: The Estranged Son
Marquise Jackson, now 28, has an infamously strained and publicly hostile relationship with his father. The tension between 50 Cent and Shaniqua Tompkins has been cited as the primary driver of the rift. Marquise, who is also a rapper and actor, has repeatedly spoken out about his father, claiming the relationship "dwindled down as time went on." 50 Cent has publicly responded to Marquise’s social media activity, often with dismissive or critical remarks, suggesting that he would prefer to leave his multi-million-dollar fortune to his younger son, Sire, rather than Marquise.
Sire Jackson: The Focal Point
Sire Jackson, 13, remains the shared focal point for 50 Cent and Daphne Joy. While 50 Cent has a more active and seemingly positive relationship with Sire, the recent legal moves for sole custody highlight his concern over the public controversies surrounding Daphne Joy. 50 Cent has previously stated his intent to take "actions to protect my son Sire," demonstrating his commitment to shielding the boy from the ongoing drama.
The current legal and public battles involving Shaniqua Tompkins and Daphne Joy confirm that 50 Cent’s personal life is as dramatic and high-stakes as his professional career. From multi-million-dollar publishing lawsuits to explosive celebrity scandals and bitter custody fights, the lives of the women who share his children are anything but quiet. These ongoing developments ensure that the story of 50 Cent's baby mamas will continue to capture headlines well into 2025.
