50 Cent has denied his ex-lover’s claims that he set fire to the New York home she‘s staying in.
Shaniqua Tompkins claims the rapper started a blaze at the Long Island estate he owns by she and their 10-year-old son, Marquise, are living in.
The fire, which took place early on Friday morning, has been called "highly suspicious" by New York police.
Tompkins and 50 have been locked in a battle over the home, with a court ruling last month that she and Marquise must leave the star’s mansion by 2008.
"He's upset. If he can't have it, no one can. He threatened me," Tompkins says.
But 50’s lawyer says: "Any suggestion that Mr. Jackson had anything whatsoever to do with the fire at his home is outrageous and offensive."
50 Cent is said to have been filming a movie in Louisiana when the fire took place.
