50 Cent has opened up about the fire that destroyed his home earlier this year, femalefirst.co.uk reports.

The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, refused to openly blame Shaniqua Tompkins for the blaze in May, but did confirm she was ordered to leave his home in Dix Hills, N.Y., just days before it was torched.

“The courts told her she had to leave. It’s kind of more like, ‘If I can’t have you, you can’t have it,’” he told Quddus Philippe, a correspondent for U.S. TV show TV One Access.

When Quddus asked the rapper if he believed Tompkins lit the fire, he replied: “Well, I don’t want to say that — don’t try to make me say something I don’t want to say. But, the circumstances to it might seem that way.”

Six people, including 50 Cent and Tompkins’ 10-year-old son Marquis, were rushed to hospital after the blaze.

Earlier in the year, Tompkins had filed a lawsuit against 50 Cent, claiming he had promised her a house 10 years ago.
