A huge fire consumed a Dix Hills (New York) home owned by rapper 50 Cent early this morning. Ex Shaniqua Tompkins and their 10-year-old son Marquise were among the six people injured and taken to the hospital, TMZ reports. (Click on photo to see more pix.)
The Chief of the Dix Hills Fire Department tells TMZ that dogs are currently searching the burned out rubble, as the intensity of the fire made it highly suspect. The Chief says they're searching for what substance possibly could have been used as an igniter.

The house has been the subject of a bitter dispute between Fiddy, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, and Tompkins. The rapper reportedly bought the home -- one of the biggest cribs in the area -- for a cool $1.4 mil in January 2007. Last month he tried to evict Tompkins and Marquise from the house, demanding she pay him $4,500 a month in rent.

All six victims have been treated and released from the hospital.

Meanwhile, it turns out that earlier this week, the flames were already flying between Fiddy and his baby mama. More from TMZ:
A source tells TMZ that at the end of a long day of depositions, things got very heated at Tompkins' lawyer's office and that someone in Fiddy's entourage went nuts and "trashed" the office. That led to a police report being filed and the action spilled out onto the streets of lower Manhattan.

What's more, when Tompkins was deposed yesterday, the session had to be held at State Supreme Court for security reasons.

So. Fiddy. Rapper or drama queen?
