Rapper 50 Cent ended up on the right side of the decimal point in a $50 million lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend.  Manhattan State Supreme Court Justice Carol Edmead dismissed the lawsuit, ruling that ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins' claim that 50 Cent orally agreed to take care of her for life was unenforceable and unlikely.

"It is incredible that two then-unemployed, penniless, 21-year-olds would make such an oral contract," Judge Edmead said.  She further ruled that the breach of contract claim was barred by the six-year statute of limitations.

According to news reports, the rapper (real name: Curtis Jackson) denied promising to support Tomkins forever if he "made it big."  Judge Edmead said 50 Cent stated that if that was what he intended, he would have married the mother of his son.

This was "an unfortunate tale of a love relationship gone sour," Judge Edmead added.
