 A rapper’s ongoing battle with his ex over the couple’s son has led to another date in family court. Eleven-year-old Marquise’s dad 50 Cent reportedly wants visitation every other weekend and one month during the summer. The performer recently re-connected with Marquise after weeks of a lengthy separation and such high-profile incidents as the house fire that Marquise’s mom accused Fiddy of orchestrating.

Days after it was reported that he hadn’t made himself available to investigators, 50 Cent reportedly has discussed the fire that claimed his home.
