50 Cent Charged with Domestic Violence (Update)

50 Cent  charged with domestic violence for allegedly kicking his baby mama? 50 Cent and the mother of his son Shaniqua Tompkins haven’t been on the best of terms with each other after 50’s baby mama and ex-girlfriend joined the cast of “Starter Wives Confidential.” Shaniqua wasn’t apart of the show for long though as the scenes she shot for the show were completely removed due to 50’s lawyers supposedly letting TLC know they had the right to sue if the network showed the scenes Shaniqua taped. 50 even suggested he was the person behind the show’s cancellation. 50 Cent and his baby mama’s beef has allegedly gotten physical now as the rapper has reportedly been charged with domestic violence for assaulting Shaniqua and causing thousands of dollars worth of damage to her condo during the supposed incident last month.

Here’s the report from TMZ:

The L.A. City Attorney tells TMZ … 50 is accused of causing $7,100 in damage during the June 23 incident, which took place inside the victim’s condo in Toluca Lake, Ca.

According to officials, LAPD officers were called to the scene … and the woman told cops she had gotten into an altercation with 50 and locked herself in the bedroom.

50 — real name Curtis Jackson — allegedly got so mad, he kicked down the door and kicked her, resulting in an injury.

Officials say the 37-year-old rapper is also accused of breaking chandeliers, furniture, a TV and a lamp — and allegedly ransacked the bedroom closet — during his rampage.

Officials say 50 left the scene before cops arrived.

50 has been hit with 5 charges in total — including 1 count misdemeanor domestic violence and 4 counts of misdemeanor vandalism.

If convicted on all counts, 50 could face up to five years in jail and $46,000 in fines.

50 is due in court to be arraigned on July 22.

Update: Now TMZ is reporting that the woman who pressed the charges on 50 Cent is not his baby mama Shaniqua Tompkins, but actually his once rumored girlfriend Daphne Joy. For those of you that remember, Daphne is the same ex who had a bit of a shade fest with 50’s other ex girlfriend Ciara on Twitter not too long ago. The website is reporting that 50 has another child with Daphne, a child he’s been mum about to the media:

50 has never publicly acknowledged having a second child … but it appears the woman behind the allegation is Daphne Joy — a model who famously dated 50 for 3 years.

There were rumors the two had a child last fall … but neither 50 nor Daphne ever confirmed the birth. In fact, the L.A. City Attorney seemed to break the news in its statement to the media when it said the victim and 50 had a “child in common.”
