50 Cent Ordered To Pay Child Support

50 Cent has been ordered to make an immediate payment of $10,000 in child support to his ex-girlfriend, after reportedly failing to provide sufficient funds for his son's upbringing.

The Candy Shop star - born Curtis Jackson - appeared in New York's Suffolk County Court on Monday, where he was told by Support Magistrate Aletha V. Fields-Ferraro to pay an additional $15,000 in monthly expenses to Shaniqua Tompkins for the care of their 10-year-old son Marquise Diamond Jackson.

The rapper, who allegedly caused a commotion outside the courthouse when he demanded VIP treatment, is due back in court on June 11 (2007), according to PageSix.
