Judge to 50 Cent: Don't Sell Da Crib

A judge ruled yesterday that 50 Cent he can't sell, unload or otherwise get rid of what used to be his $2 million crib in Long Island.

Not until they figure out what caused the fire that burned it down.

The rapper has also been ordered to put any insurance money he gets from the toasted house in a trust account - for now.

That is, until his fight with Shaniqua Tompkins is resolved.

The ex-girlfriend / baby mama of 50 Cent is accusing the rapper of "breach of contract and unjust enrichment." He supposedly broke a promise to give Shaniqua Tompkins and their son Marquise the house.

After the hearing, Tompkins maintained that the house was still hers, but didn't go so far as to blame 50 Cent for torching the place.
