50 Cent’s G-Unit Books Sues Ex-Partner Shaniqua Tompkins Over Alleged Breach of Story Rights Agreement

G-Unit Books, the publishing company linked to rapper and business mogul Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, has filed a lawsuit against his former partner, Shaniqua Tompkins, alleging she violated a long-standing agreement by publicly sharing personal stories about their past relationship.

According to newly filed court documents, Tompkins — the mother of 50 Cent’s 28-year-old son, Marquise Jackson — is said to have signed over the exclusive rights to her life story to G-Unit Books in 2007. As part of that agreement, she allegedly agreed not to release or profit from any personal accounts involving herself or 50 Cent.

The complaint points to a 2023 YouTube video titled “Other Side of the Coin”, where Tompkins claimed to reveal previously untold details about her role in 50 Cent’s early career and the rise of the G-Unit brand. The lawsuit also cites a recent Instagram post in which Tompkins addressed online conversations surrounding the Diddy case, using the opportunity to share additional comments about her past with 50 Cent. G-Unit Books argues that these posts breach the terms of their contract.

The company is asking the court to stop Tompkins from publishing more stories, videos, or posts related to 50 Cent and is seeking at least $1 million in damages for alleged breach of contract. As of the time of this report, Tompkins and her legal representatives have not issued any public response.
