CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. — The $25,000 a month in child support and household expenses that rapper 50 Cent pays to the mother of his 10-year-old son is not enough, says the boy's mother, Shaniqua Tompkins.
The rapper is "worth tens and tens of millions of dollars," said her attorney, Raoul Felder.
The parents of young Marquise Jackson are wrangling over the issue in family court in this Long Island community, where 50 Cent arrived Friday in an armored SUV equipped with a satellite dish.
50 Cent no longer needs to worry about the choice he famously expressed on a 2004 album — "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."
With his G-Unit record label, clothing line, ring tones and other enterprises, 50 Cent — whose real name is Curtis Jackson — reeled in an estimated $33 million in the past year, according to Forbes. He has sold more than 11 million albums and has a new album, "Curtis," due out in September.
His lawyer, Brett Kimmel, called Tompkins "insatiable."

I’m not into rap, and never heard of this guy - but he made $33M last year alone? (Uncle Sam must love this guy!)
The mother can’t live on $25,000 a month? Woooooo Hooooooo! I know I sure could! (And, I wouldn’t complain, either.)
Islip, Brentwood, etc. were cheaply built communities for folks who couldn’t afford Levittown. It was only a matter of time before they became “suburban ghettos.”
Remember we are talking about $25K per month tax free!
Maybe she is living on $5000 and socking $20,000 away every month, I would be. (but I doubt it)
Fifty cent is the same dude who wanted to get ‘Mad Flow’ tattooed on his arm in Chinese characters.
He got ‘Crazy Diarrhea!’
When the web sight ‘Hanzis Matter’ pointed it out he sicked his land sharks on them so their I can’t provide a cite.
LOL!
His son’s mother is probably as nutty as he is. It’s too bad they can’t appoint a court conservator for all the money have him brought up by normal people on a sensible budget.
Based on his heritage - the kid will be crazier than a s******** rat, regardless of the nominal value of the child support.
ANYTHING but a "slave name" like John, Robert, William, etc. Better it be Shacquille or Phelonius or Neosenephrine.
I understand she wants to get her hands on millions. But she can always give custody to the dad and let him share his millions with his son first hand.
Of course that's cuz I don't make that much.
Maybe Fitty-tint should give me 25K a month so I can find out if I can.
I think I saw that last one on a police blotter in my local weekly paper recently.
