50's lawyer released a statement in response. "Any suggestion that Mr. Jackson had anything whatsoever to do with the fire at his home is outrageous and offensive."

As SOHH previously reported, the house, which is located at 2 Sandra Drive in Long Island, NY, has been part of a contentious court battle between 50 and Tompkins. After purchasing the home in January 2007 for a reported $1.4 million, 50 attempted to evict Tompkins last month. The Queens rapper was demanding that Tompkins leave or pay $4,500 a month in rent.

Tompkins also said she hasn't heard from 50 directly. "He has made no contact to see how his son is," she said.

While the home that housed 50 Cent's ex-girlfriend and son went up in flames, this morning, a new video hit the net showing 50 and the mother of his son arguing on a Manhattan street. TMZ has obtained the video of the fracas that took place Monday afternoon. The fight, which got pretty heated, was triggered after both showed up for a deposition concerning their ongoing battle concerning 50's house.

During the deposition on Monday, someone in the G-Unit Capo's entourage trashed Tompkin's lawyer's office which led to a police report being filed. This reportedly resulted in the fight spilling out into the street.
