50 Cent is accusing ex Shaniqua Thompkins of defamation and is reportedly seeking to seal court filings, or at least a portion of them, related to their ongoing life rights agreement dispute. Portions of the document, here quoted via AllHipHop, state that the allegations by Shaniqua are decades old."Tompkins…seeks to inject inflammatory and defamatory allegations concerning me personally into this litigation. The allegations concern purported events from decades ago that are wholly irrelevant to the issues."The filing adds that 50 Cent is worried that if Tompkins’ allegations are allowed to be entered into the public record, it would cause him severe and irreversible harm:"If Tompkins’ inflammatory and defamatory allegations in her pleadings are permitted to enter the public record without restriction, the resulting harm to my personal and professional reputation will be immediate, severe, and irreversible."50 Cent also pointed out in the filing that the allegations made against him by Tompkins, alongside being decades old, are also allegations that were brought up in a previous lawsuit and were dismissed with prejudice.The latest filing was made to a New York judge and is the latest filing in a lawsuit over the life rights dispute between the two.
