GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - Authorities say six people are hospitalized after a "suspicious" fire burned down a multimillion-dollar Long Island home owned by Grammy-nominated rapper 50 Cent.

Arson squad investigators were on the scene of the Friday blaze.

The names of those injured have not been released. But a lawyer for the rapper's former girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, says the woman lived there with two of her children.

Dix Hills Fire Chief Larry Feld says all six people are hospitalized in stable condition after suffering smoke inhalation.

Earlier this year, Tompkins sued 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, claiming he had promised her the $2.4 million house more than a decade ago.
