50 Cent is Going to Court

Rapper 50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, is headed to court over child support. Apparently, the $25,000 a month he is currently paying to Shaniqu Tompkins, the mother of his 10-year old son Marquise Jackson, is not enough. Tompkins attorney, Raoul Felder, claims 50 is "worth tens and tens of millions of dollars."

Actually Forbes put his estimated earnings at $33 million last year with his G-Unit record label, clothing line, and ring tones, among other entrepreneurial efforts. He has also sold more than 11 million albums and is dropping another one, "Curtis," this September.

The hearing has been taking place in Long Island, where 50 arrived in a armored SUV sporting a satellite dish. I'm sure this did not help his case. Also not helping his case is his stake in VitaminWater. Sources are saying 50 could see up to $100 million from its proposed sale to Coca-Cola.

50 has reportedly been a good dad and has always paid child support. This sounds like a case of someone trying to cash in. But who can blame her? It has got to be a struggle to survive on $25,000 a month. Come on girl.
