Rapper retaliates by suing her for $20 million

50 Cent has been served with a restraining order that bars him from coming in contact with the mother of his 11-year-old son.

According to the Long Island, New York court order, the rapper must avoid all contact with Shaniqua Tompkins, and must pickup and drop off his son at curb-side during visitations.

The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, retaliated by filing a $20 million defamation suit and a petition holding Tompkins in contempt of court, reports E! Online.

Tompkins has alleged that 50 Cent is responsible for a fire last month that destroyed her residence -- the New York mansion they once shared. 50 Cent has vehemently denied the accusations.
