Baby Mama Seeks Bigger Piece of 50 Cent
50 Cent's baby mama wants lots more benjamins in da bank account of their 10-year-old son.
Shaniqua Tompkins has been in a Long Island court battling the "In Da Club" rapper in an attempt to get him to significantly increase the $25,000 monthly check she receives for their son, Marquise Diamond Jackson.
"This guy is worth tens and tens of millions of dollars," her lawyer, Raoul Felder, told the New York Daily News following an initial closed-door hearing Friday.
Felder added that the $300,000 annual sum isn't enough for Marquise to live "the appropriate manner."
Of the current monthly stipend, $10,000 is for child support and an additional $15,000, for household expenses.
Fiddy's legal eagle Brett Kimmel told the Daily News that Tompkins' "demands keep escalating" and that she is "insatiable."
If the judge sides with Tompkins and orders 50 Cent to pony up a bigger percentage of his earnings, little Marquise's bling could se a serious upgrade.
According to Forbes, the rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, pulled in $33 million last year with his G-Unit record label, clothing line, ringtones and other ventures. He's also sold more than 11 million albums, and his latest effort, Curtis, will drop in September.
Plus, he stands to make up to $100 million for his stake in a vitamin water company purchased by Coca-Cola.
Fiddy, who was chauffeured to the Central Islip courthouse in a bombproof SUV equipped with a satellite dish and 42-inch high-def TV, will face off with Tompkins again on Thursday.
