After being insulted by 50 Cent once again, “Love Lockdown” hitmaker Kanye West reveals that it makes him feel as if he has been “spat on.” Originally, a verbal battle broke out between the two rappers when their albums went head-to-head on the music charts in 2007.

However, it appears that 50 Cent has recently been attempting to reignite the flame after he took a shot at West on his forthcoming LP. In the LP, Before I Self Destruct, he reportedly criticizes West for singing on his hit single, “Love Lockdown.” “Just as a real human being, I can't say that it doesn't affect me,” West says, speaking.

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, and girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins have been locked in a legal fight over money. Tompkins has argued that she is entitled to half of 50 Cent's estate.

A lawyer for rapper 50 cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, said he would contest the order and that the rapper did not have guns or access to guns. "To my knowledge, he has no guns," said lawyer Brett Kimmel.

50 Cent has filed a $20 million dollar defamation lawsuit against his ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins.

It seems that the lawsuit has come as a direct response to a restraining order that Ms Tompkins has taken out on the rapper.

An ongoing feud between to two parties has rapidly escalated since a ‘suspicious’ fire destroyed the MC's property last month on Long Island.

The latest development sees Fiddy claim that his ex-flame is spreading lies about their relationship and damaging his public image.

Shaniqua took out a temporary restraining order on 50 last week which requires him to surrender all firearms and refrain from being on the same property as Tompkins.

Brett Kimmel, 50 Cent’s lawyer, said he would challenge the order "To my knowledge, he has no guns."

50 Cent's representative has brushed off internet rumours suggesting the rap superstar has secretly wed R&B singer Ciara.

Gossip sites went crazy after footage of 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, wearing a wedding band first appeared online.

However, his spokeswoman insists the rap star plays a married man in his new film 'Microwave Park', and the photos come from the Louisiana set.

However, that hasn't stopped gossips from claiming the ring is a sure sign that the 'In Da Club' hitmaker and Goodies singer Ciara are man and wife.

50 has been romantically linked to Ciara after the pair posed topless for their video 'Can't Leave 'Em Alone' last year.

A spokesperson for 50 insists the rapper is not a married man.

A statement reads: "50 Cent is not engaged or married. He is currently in production on a film where the character he plays is married."

Last year Ciara denied the romance rumours, insisting the rapper was "a really great friend," and adding: "Everybody turns everything into something else.

"They said we have a ranch in Atlanta. I just died laughing. It's amazing to hear the things people make up. It's funny."

Rapper superstar 50 Cent has served his ex girlfriend with a $20 million defamation lawsuit for alleged false and offensive statements about him.

Shaniqua Tompkins was served Friday outside a Suffolk County, New York court after she made defamatory statements against the rapper - real name Curtis Jackson - claiming he tried to kill her and their son by setting the fire that burned down Jackson's Long Island home on May 30.

While the fire department officials ruled the house fire "suspicious," they still haven't ruled it as arson.

Tompkins and their 10-year-old son Marquise was living at the residence at the time of the fire. Soon after they survived the incident, the ex-girlfriend held a press conference accusing the rapper of "trying to kill" her and Marquise.

She also repeated her statement to People magazine outside the courtroom saying, "He always threatened me."

"If someone threatens you on Monday and you jump out of a second floor window on Friday, that's the facts, you decide."

But the hip hop star's lawyer, Brett Kimmel, denies that the allegations saying that his client was in Louisiana filming "Microwave Park" with Sharon Stone during the incident.

Kimmel also says that Tompkins also allegedly prevented his client from seeing his son by not disclosing their new address.

The ex-couple are scheduled to appear in court on July 17.

50 Cent is constantly being harassed by naked women trying to seduce him.

The In Da Club rapper has no shortage of female attention and has even found them hiding in his hotel suite in a bid to get him into bed.

He said: "I've been in hotel rooms, and girls were already there in the closet - naked."

But 50 - real name Curtis Jackson - has no desire to take things further with any of his fans as he thinks it borders on prostitution.

When asked if he indulges, he replied: "Hell, no! Are you kidding me? That's like Amsterdam. Amsterdam is fun for some people, but I don't want no (one) that costs $50. There's too many people that got $50!"

Meanwhile, 50 recently splashed out $100,000 on a car for Val Kilmer.

The Candy Shop rapper became good friends with the actor during the filming of Streets of Blood in Louisiana, where they bonded over their love of vintage cars.

50 then purchased a 1965 Chevy Impala and stunned Kilmer by giving him the keys.

The singer's producing partner Randall Emmett said: "Val was shocked. 50 is an amazing guy and incredibly generous."

US rapper 50 Cent cannot sell the Long Island property where a 2.4 million dollar (£1.2 million) house was destroyed by fire last month, a judge has said.

State Supreme Court Justice Carol Edmead also ordered him to put insurance proceeds in a trust account pending the outcome of his dispute with his ex-girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins.

Miss Tompkins claims the rapper promised her a house a decade ago, but had recently wanted to evict her and their 10-year-old son Marquise from the house in Dix Hills.

A suspicious fire destroyed the house on May 30. The 32-year-old rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, did not live there.

The rapper has been nominated for 13 Grammys, including one for the album Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. His UK hit singles include In Da Club and Candy Shop.

50 Cent has been accused of trying to kill his son and ex-girlfriend in an arson attack, but the rap star denies the claims.

Shaniqua Tompkins - mother of the rapper’s 10-year-old son Marquise - claims a Molotov cocktail started the fire which destroyed the star’s multi-million dollar mansion in Dix Hills, New York State while she, the child and four others were inside on Friday.

They were all treated in hospital for minor injuries.

She said: "He tried to kill me and his own child. I know this came from 50 Cent. I know he did it."

The blaze comes just days after the 32-year-old rapper – real name Curtis Jackson – tried to get his ex-lover evicted from the house following a heated argument.

The In Da Club star, who was filming Streets of Blood in Louisiana when the blaze broke out, denies starting the fire.

His attorney, Brett Kimmel, said: "Any suggestion that Mr Jackson had anything whatsoever to do with the fire at his home is outrageous and offensive."

Fire officials confirmed the blaze was "definitely suspicious" and have launched an investigation.
