50 Cent Granted More Time With Son

MTV.com:

50 Cent was in Long Island Family Court on Thursday (July 17) for a custody hearing, during which a judge granted his request for more time with his 11-year-old son, Marquise.

According to 50's lawyer, Brett Kimmel, the judge said 50 — who recently told MTV News that the lack of quality time with his son was impacting their relationship — can have unrestricted time with Marquise from August 3-12. Kimmel said he knew Marquise would be staying with 50 during that time but that he had no other information about what their plans were.

Both 50 and his estranged girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, had to submit to drug tests at the courthouse before the judge would discuss custody issues with them at the request of the child's attorney, and both agreed to the rapid tests. Kimmel said 50's came back negative but that Tompkins' sample tested positive for opiates, which she explained by saying she was taking a medicine with codeine. Tompkins' lawyer had not returned calls for comment at press time.

As a businessman 50 is an egotistical bully whose many, many, many bad decisions have led to the fall of G-Unit. As a father I say he's been long victimized by money-hungry chick whose long exploited her son for financial gains. He deserves to spend more time with his kid.
