50 Cent’s ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins alleges she feared for her life and her children’s lives when she signed an agreement to give away her life rights to the TV and entertainment mogul.
In an affidavit obtained by Complex, Tompkins claimed 50’s then-manager, the late Chris Lighty tracked her down and showed up at her Las Vegas hotel room with a man she believes to be his security guard. After declining Lighty’s repeated attempts to get her to sign the agreement, Tompkins was allegedly warned that she would “suffer severe consequences,” if she did not comply.
“Fearing for my life and for my children’s lives, I signed the agreement under extreme duress,” the affidavit reads.
Acting as an alleged intermediary and enforcer on behalf of 50 Cent, Lighty made it clear that the TV and entertainment mogul would “use his power, wealth, and public platform to ruin me financially and personally,” if she did not sign, according to the affidavit.
Tompkins alleges she ultimately signed the agreement, even though she was not allowed to review the terms, and only shown the signature page.
The agreement was signed in Feb. 2007 following her split from 50. Tompkins alleges she was a stay-at-home mom at the time, who was financially dependent on him, and provided a monthly allowance. She allegedly had a business flipping houses from 2004 to 2006, but she claimed 50 forced her to give up that career.
Tompkins was sued by 50 Cent’s G-Unit Books last year over Instagram videos that allegedly violated her life rights agreement. According to Rolling Stone, Tompkins was not allowed to profit off information pertaining to their relationship.
“Jackson purchased these rights to preserve them for use in future biographical or autobiographical projects, but also in part because he was concerned that Tompkins would attempt to monetize their history and his name,” the complaint reads. “His concerns were ultimately proven correct.”
