Well, there are some stars of pop who aren't very good at keeping up their child support commitments (Bobby Brown anyone?), but you can't help feeling that given that 50 Cent is handing over $25,000 a month to the mother of his ten year old son he is doing better than most, despite his multi-million dollar business empire. But not good enough, it seems. Shaniqua Tompkins, mother of Fiddy's son Marquise Jackson, has taken the hip hop star to court in a bid to get a higher child support payment, arguing that her son's father is "worth tens and tens of millions of dollars" and that a larger portion of that fortune should be spent on the child's upbringing. Fiddy hasn't formally commented on Tompkins' demands, though his lawyer described her as being "insatiable", telling the New York Daily News: "Her demands keep escalating". The fact that Fiddy and Tompkins were in court to discuss child support last week presumably suggests they have been unable to reach agreement outside the court room. The closed doors hearing is expected to continue this week.
