Dec, 24 2010
While passing rapper 50 Cent’s multi-million dollar Connecticut mansion early Tuesday morning, security guards noticed an out of place car in the driveway. Further investigation lead the police to two of Fiddy’s fans who’d scaled a fence and let themselves inside through an unlocked door.
Did 50 set up himself for this a while ago?
Police found Alexander Hernandez, 19, and Santos Padilla, 21, still hanging out at 6 a.m. "with marijuana in their possession." Hernandez was found "hiding in a closet, drinking a bottle of wine he had stolen from the residence," according to a press release from the Farmington Police.
Both men subsequently said they had no intention of stealing anything; they just wanted to “hang out” in one of their favorite rappers’ houses. Each was charged with third-degree burglary, second-degree criminal trespassing and possession of marijuana. Bail was set at $50,000 each. Hernandez was turned over to cops in New Britain, CT where he’s wanted in connection with an attempted murder.
Fifty was not at home at the time of the break-in. The rapper has been trying to sell the estate, which he bought from boxer and ear-enthusiast, Mike Tyson in 2003. The 50,000 sq ft, 19-bedroom, 37-bathroom house is currently on the market for $10 million.

Poor old 50 Cent has been left feeling devalued by the shadowy MTV News Hip Hop Brain Trust, who ranked him as number nine on their list of the Top 10 Hottest MCs in the Game. In an interview with New York radio station Hot 97, he told an interviewer: “I think I'm number one. I'm in the top five, at least. I'm my favorite, if you ask me. These other guys are cool, but not as cool as me.” MTV reveals that “The list is meant to reflect what is going on right now as opposed to a career retrospective,” and factors in measures of worth which include lyrics, flow, impact, buzz, sales, and a nebulous something-else which MTV calls “the intangible.” The final ten-to-six placings are being revealed a day at a time until October 4, when the top of the list will be announced during P. Diddy’s Starmaker program on MTV. So far Fiddy has trumped Raekwon, who just squeezed on to the foot of the list thanks to his new album, the belated Only Built 4 Cuban Linx: Pt. II; but he is trailing behind Fabolous, who was placed at number eight, and Young Jeezy, who landed at number seven.

Jun, 2 2008
News that 50 Cent’s house burned to the ground should be quite alarming. Until, that is, you learn that the house was at the centre of a bitter ownership dispute between the rapper and his ex-partner. It would appear that Shaniqua Tompkins, mother of 50 Cent’s 10 year old son, Marquise, felt that she was owed the house following their relationship breakdown and had been occupying the property -- until it was razed to the ground in suspicious circumstances last Friday. 50 Cent, who doesn’t live at the house, expressed his concern in a recent statement, but one feels that there is more than one alarm bell ringing in this news item.
