50 Cent Reacts To Ex's Restraining Order, ''She's Trying To Use [My Son] To Hurt Me As Best She Can''

50 Cent spoke candidly about his contentious relationship with his son’s mother recently, claiming that she is using his son as a means to hurt him financially.

In a video posted on his website, ThisIs50.com, the hip-hop mogul sat for an interview at a Toronto, Canada hotel between concert appearances to address his ongoing feud with his son’s mother, Shaniqua Tompkins and the impact his son has had on his rap career.

“He’s the reason I’m successful,” Fif said of his son Marquise. “My son is my motivation. He’s the reason why I changed directions.”

“It’s crazy, I go through so much with his moms,” he continued. “We’re not friends anymore. It’s a huge adjustment when you have a person who has a sense of entitlement because she was around during that time period when I didn’t have much. She feels like she should be entitled to the world.”

The two have been at it, in and out of court, for years over custody of their son, child support payments, and Fif’s million dollar mansion Tompkins and his son were living in before it mysteriously burned down last month.

Tompkins immediately and publicly pointed the finger at 50 as being behind the blaze. He responded with a defamation suit and she fired back with a restraining order against the rapper. But Fif seems to think it’s about the money – since her child support payments were chopped from $25,000 to $6,700 a month – and sticking it to him, more than anything.

“She’s really having a bigger adjustment to her personal lifestyle because she has a bag habit that costs more than the child support,” Fif said. But that’s pretty much all he’d in respect to his son.

“I don’t really say how I feel about her because my son might see the tape, you know,” he said. “But it’s hard when it gets to the point when a woman is trying to keep your son away from you. That’s the only thing she got left, so she’s trying to use him to hurt me as best she can. It’ll work itself out, it’s just a pain in the ass.”

The two will be returning to court July 15th to discuss the restraining order and again on the 17th for family court.
