Did 50 Cents Burn Down The House?

According to TMZ, Shaniqua Tompkins (50 Cent's baby mama) recently declared that 50 Cent aka Curtis Jackson “tried to kill her, that he's obsessed with her”; see link. Reportedly, “a raging inferno broke out” in 50 Cent home earlier today; the local fire department reveals that “the fire is highly suspicious”. Furthermore, Tompkins disclosed that “she heard someone come into the house this morning at 4 AM, shortly before the fire broke out around an hour later”. What’s interesting, 50 Cent tried to evict Tompkins and their 10-year-old son (Marquise) from the house last month; he even demanded that Tompkins “pay him $4,500 a month in rent”. It’s no secret that Fiddy and Tompkins have been in a bitter dispute over this house, but would he risk his son’s life just too remove Tompkins from the property? Recently, someone in Fiddy's entourage was arrested for trashing Tompkins’ attorney’s office. If the house is gone, than Fiddy could collect a nice fat insurance check for his troubles and get rid of Tompkins in the process. It sounds like a winning situation too me, but you be the judge?
