5535: Where’s There’s Smoke…


Facing the heat in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• The Long Island home of 50 Cent was destroyed by fire, and authorities suspect arson. An ex-companion of Fiddy lived at the home, although the rapper allegedly was seeking to throw her out, along with their son. Six people were treated for smoke inhalation. “[50 Cent] tried to kill me and his own child!” declared Fiddy’s ex. “Who do I think did it? Curtis Jackson. He threatened me on Monday that he was going to have someone visit me. My kids are in the house. Who would try to kill your own kids? He’s supposed to be all about being a gangster … That’s not a gangster, that’s a coward.” Hey, what does one get a gangster coward for Father’s Day?

• The Los Angeles Fire Department is making progress in dealing with harassment and discrimination, according to an audit released on Friday. The city has paid millions in lawsuits in the past years. “There is still a lot more work to do,” said Fire Chief Douglas L. Barry. Maybe they should seek input from 50 Cent.
