Shaniqua Tompkins is pushing back against a lawsuit filed by G-Unit Books, alleging that she was coerced into signing away her life rights under threats, intimidation, and extreme financial pressure tied to Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and his team.
One June 2025 YouTube video drew particular scrutiny, as Tompkins accused Jackson of physically and verbally abusing her during her pregnancy with their son, Marquise, and throughout their relationship.
G-Unit Books argues that these public statements violate a 2007 Life Rights Agreement that granted the company exclusive control over her life story, name, and likeness.
In a sworn affidavit obtained by AllHipHop, Tompkins contends that the agreement was never entered into freely.
In her filing, she stated she was “entirely financially dependent on [50 Cent],” alleging that he forced her out of a real estate investment business to ensure that dependence and pressure her into signing the deal with G-Unit Books.
