A Dix Hills, New York home owned by 50 Cent was gutted by a raging fire this morning (May 30).

According to Newsday, the fire sent six people to hospital including 50's ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins and their 10-year-old son Marquise. All six people were suffering from smoke inhalation.

An official on the scene called the fire "definitely suspicious".

Eyewitness Frank Hoyte tells Newsday that Tompkins was standing out front of the house in her bathrobe as the home burned along with Marquise, another young child, two teenage girls and an older women.

"I would say there is a strong -- a strong, strong -- possibility that it is suspicious," Dix Hills Fire Department Chief Larry Feld said. "The rapid movement of the fire. The volume of the fire . . . It was engulfed. The home was totally gutted."

The fire was reported at 5 a.m., according to Suffolk County Police and fire officials.

Officials from Suffolk County Arson Squad and the Suffolk Fire Marshal's office are on the scene investigating.

The home was purchased by 50 Cent in January 2007 for a reported $1.4 million. The home is located on one acre and has six bedrooms, five baths, a heated four-car garage and a pool.
