Things are continuing to heat up between 50 Cent and his ex, Shaniqua Tompkins, as she is reportedly heading to court this morning in hopes of receiving a temporary restraining order against the rapper.

According to TMZ, Tompkins' motivation for seeking the order is based on alleged threats made against her from associates of the G-Unit head. If the request is approved, 50 will not only be restricted from direct contact with Tompkins, but also from his 11 year-old son who he has yet to speak with since a fire destroyed their Long Island home.

The decision marks the latest action from either side as previously reported 50 is suing Tompkins for defamation. In the suit, the rapper claims she has been fueling fire to allegations that he deliberately had the Long Island home burned down, purposely endangering the lives of both his son and former girlfriend.

"There comes a point where you can no longer sit on your hands and listen to her spread these falsehoods," 50's lawyer Brett Kimmel told. "Besides hurting his reputation, they have a damaging impact on their son."

The battle between the two began prior to the home's destruction, as 50 petitioned the court for an eviction of Tompkins and his son Marquise from the million-dollar house last April.
