INVESTIGATION INTO FIFTY CENT FIRE

Rapper Fifty Cent is "eager" to discover the authorities' findings surrounding the fire that engulfed his Long Island New York home and endangered his son and ex-girlfriend.The estate, which is owned by Fifty Cent and occupied by former girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins and their 10-year-old son, Marquise, was engulfed in a fire that New York police have called "highly suspicious." The fire occurred this morning. The home has been at the center of a bitter court battle between the singer and Tompkins since last month's ruling that she and Marquise must leave the rapper's mansion by the end of 2008. The rapper is extremely thankful that everyone including his son, Marquise, escaped the burning house safely."He is confident that authorities will be conducting a thorough investigation of the incident and is eager to review their findings."And Tompkins, who split from the rapper in 2003, has fueled reports a vengeful party is to blame after revealing she heard "someone" come into the house at 4 a.m., an hour prior to the incident. Police have sent dogs to search the rubble for a substance that may have been used as an igniter.The "In Da Club" hitmaker is not being treated as a suspect, reports TMZ.com.
