Over the weekend, boxing champion Floyd Mayweather fought in a tremendous bout again Miguel Cotto in which he once again remains undefeated and pocketed one huge payday. Alongside of Floyd the night of the fight was iconic hip-hop star 50 Cent. While 50 and Floyd enjoyed a victorious week in Las Vegas. On the otherside of the states, Baby mothers of the two superstars were busy gossiping on a popular gossip website mommydirtylittlesecrets.com. Not holding anything back, the women dish on their Baby Father's new relationships, their fatherhood, and legal issues. Check out the complete interview below:

Shaniqua Tompkins is the beautiful mother to a 15-year-old son, Marquise, whose father is 50 Cent.  Josie Harris is the gorgeous woman who shares three children with famed boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., they are 8, 11, and 12-years-old.  Although these two women are no longer with these men, they did however spend a good portion of time with them, before and after their claim to fame.  So I had to ask…

Patricia Dean:  How is your relationship with 50 right now?

Shaniqua Tompkins:  It has its ups and downs. It’s a hard relationship to explain.  He’s a bitter man, very bitter.

PD: Why is he bitter?  Because you tried to sue him for $50 million?

ST:  I didn’t sue him, he took me to court for child support, he sued me for defamation of character.  The only time I tried to sue him is when he tried to evict me and his son from our home, the home he promised to give me.

PD: Why did he sue you for defamation?

ST:  Because at the time the house burned down, I was asked in public who I thought burned my house down and I said he (50 Cent) did.  When your money’s very long you can pay someone to do something. But that’s still you doing it, you’re just as guilty.

PD: Do you hold a grudge against him for that?

ST:  No, because God wants you to forgive. I just had to let it go.  Call it Karma, it all comes back.  I don’t have to be mean or vindictive; we all get what’s coming to us.

PD:  Are you still in love with him?

ST:  No, I love 50 like a cousin maybe; I’m not in love though.

PD:  Josie, how’s your relationship with Floyd?  With all the cheating and domestic violence, do you forgive him?

Josie Harris:  Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a d***.  I have forgiven him, I’m over it.  I did my s***. I’ve hit him over the head with a Tonka truck when I found out he was cheating on me.  We had a pretty volatile relationship.  Anyone who knows us, knows that.   For him to put another ring on another chick’s finger, then come over to my house and try to control me and who I’m having sex with (C.J. Watson)… I mean that’s just him.  She ain’t the only one that got a ring.  He the ring master, there’s a couple people that got a ring.  He’s just about that life.  I didn’t deserve the abuse, my kids didn’t deserve to see that.  We have gotten into to it before but what was most disturbing is that my son had to get help for me because had no idea how long it was going to last.  Floyd’s bitch-ass friend was watching the whole time as he put his hands on me, he even tried to block my kid from leaving.

PD: Who was it?  Do we know who this ‘friend’ is?

JH:  He was a friend, we won’t say any names.  Somebody in Floyd’s camp, who is very relevant.  I don’t even feel comfortable with my kids around him because I think he’s a snake.  Any real man that see another man seeing red and putting his hands on a woman should intervene, he didn’t so s***.

PD:  So where do you stand with C.J. Watson now?

 JH:  He put the running shoes on. Floyd was ringing his phone, C.J. even had to change his number.  But he is a very nice guy – with a very controlling mother.

PD:  How long was the violence in you and Floyd’s relationship going on?

JH:  It started from the beginning, not the very, very beginning but it escalated.  We started feeling like we were each other’s possessions.  If I wasn’t violent with him, I’d get violent with the b*****s.

PD: How about you Shaniqua, did 50 ever get violent with you?

SH:  Yes.  When he put his hands on me in front of my daughter is when I knew the relationship was over.  I’d never fight any of the girls he was messing around behind my back with though.  Hoes are going to be hoes.  I did have to call Meagan Good once.  She claimed 50 was just a friend and he was helping her to get over a break up.  She played her part well, as a good mistress does.

PD: Are Floyd and 50 Cent good fathers?

JH: I hate to say it but yes Floyd is a good dad. The kids love him and are in Vegas with him right now for the Cotto fight.

ST: 50 is a good provider, but a good father? No. He hasn’t been to one of his son’s games. In fact, the last time he saw his son was December.  When we were together he helped raise my daughter along with our son, but when we were finally over it all stopped.  He was no longer a father to his son.  He thinks financially providing equates to being a dad, but it doesn’t.

PD:  Now that your relationships with Floyd and 50 Cent are over, do you two have boyfriends?

ST:  Yes and he’s not intimidated by 50 Cent.  I’ve been with him for about 6 years now.

JH:  No, haven’t found that yet.

PD:  Are you looking?

 JH: Hell yeah I’m looking!!

PD: How about 50 and Chelsea Handler?  I heard she said he is ‘adequate’ in bed, and surprisingly he had no response to that. Is it true? How is he in bed?

ST:  50 is a bully, but he’s afraid of Chelsea, she’s bigger than him.  As for him in bed…he’s okay.

PD: How about Floyd, how’s he in bed?

JH: He’s boring in bed.

PD:  How do you two feel about 50 and Floyd’s relationship?

JH:  You mean their bromance?  They’ve been friends a long time. (Josie and Shaniqua look at each other and laugh.)

PD: Josie you are working on a book…tell me about it?

JH: It’s a book about my relationship with Floyd, we’ve known each other and been together since we were 16.  Our relationship was very passionate with an incredible love but it was volatile. We tried running each other over with cars, pulling guns on each other… Crazy s***! We were extremely possessive of each other and I tell it ALL in the book!  I’m finally in a better place where I can talk about it.

PD: Wow, you’re not worried about legal repercussions or backlash from the book?

JH:  I told Floyd to suck my d***.  Seriously.  It’s not about Floyd or me, it’s about the kids and making money to provide for and support them.  Why wouldn’t he give me that as the mother of his children?  I want him to write the forward to the book!

PD: Floyd is facing jail time immediately after tonight’s fight for a domestic violence incident involving you…how do you feel about that?

JH: I never want to send a loved one to jail. I hope he gets the help he needs. I wrote a letter to the judge asking him not to make him do time.

PD: Both 50 and Floyd are publicly with other women…how does that make you feel?

 

ST: 50 still won’t admit to me he is dating her (Daphne Joy). He won’t talk about her or them dating. He does NOT acknowledge her to me, Crazy! She will learn. (Laughs)

JH: Ms. Dade, as in Dade County, Florida, where she’s from (Shantel Jackson) is in it for the money. She is controlled. Let me tell you how crazy it all is… they just announced on the radio that they are getting married on my birthday!  C’mon…he knows what he’s doing and what type of woman agrees to that?

PD: Would you sleep with 50 again?

 

ST: No, he’s hard enough to get rid of, that would just make it worse.

PD: Would you sleep with Floyd again?

JH: Yes, but only if he had a drink first. Sober Floyd is boring and I like to have fun in bed!

SIDENOTE: I Really feel this was bad form and taste for both women to try and dish out negative references on both stars. Especially if both are getting their checks from the stars and ain't working and living the life. 

 

 

Lamar Odom has a Twitter account that nearly 3 million users follow, but you wouldn't say that the 13-year NBA vet and husband of Khloe Kardashian (a marital bond that probably accounts for roughly 2.4 million of those followers, because the world is amazing) maintains a consistent presence on the service. His usage is less predictable and more erratic, prone to lengthy stretches of downtime punctuated by flurries of activity that see him fire off handfuls of updates in tight windows. Pick your favorite not-quite-reliable streak shooter; he's sort of like basketball Twitter's version of that. (Mine, of course, is John Starks, but everyone's got their own answer to questions this important.)

Following two weeks on the microblogging bench — a dry spell during which it was reported that "Khloe and Lamar," the popular E! network reality television show in which the couple stars, will beput on hold indefinitely this summer — @RealLamarOdom tore off the warm-ups Thursday night and got back in the tweet game. His return was marked by a string of missives that saw him dub himself "The Comeback Kid," simultaneously offering both first-person insight into the reasons behind Odom's disappointing season for the Dallas Mavericks and giving his detractors enough 140-character ammunition to continue to blast the former Sixth Man of the Year for having his priorities out of line.

A couple of Mavericks fans did just that Thursday night, angrily noting the apparent convenience of Odom, after agreeing to sever ties with a Dallas team that would look very overmatched and outgunned en route to a Game 3 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, now wanting to get ready to "come back" and contribute. Odom could have chosen to ignore their replies. Instead, he offeredresponses to their criticisms.

That's what Odom's sympathizers and apologists (you know, guys like me) have reminded those vitriolic sorts who claim that Odom just lazily jaked his way through the season because he didn't give a crap. That might be true, but it also might be that Odom's been damn near catatonic for the past few months after enduring some pretty horrendous personal trauma, including watching his cousin dieand being a passenger in a car accident that killed a 15-year-old boy. That's a lot of stuff to process in a short timespan, and it's the kind of stuff that, understandably, probably makes learning your place in a matchup zone seem pretty friggin' unimportant.

Then again, Odom doesn't necessarily make it easy on his supporters to take his part. He began his Twitter jaunt by looking toward the year ahead and calling himself "The Comeback Kid" — music to the ears of basketball fans who've grown to love the 32-year-old forward's multifaceted game and hated watching him play like his operating system had a virus this year. It likely also induced teeth-grinding among Dallas fans who saw their franchise pay Odom $8.9 million for 50 games of across-the-board career lows.

An additional problem for those fans (and, probably, for others) came in the inspiration behind Odom's reputed comeback effort — or, at least, the way he phrased it:

So, getting to be a top-flight basketball player again is important insofar as it opens the door to becoming a multivertical mogul a la Sean Combs. That'll probably go over well.

Odom followed that up with a second tweet that again seemed to speak out of both sides of his mouth within the space of 140 characters, emphasizing non-basketball matters as the impetus for getting back on the court:

Working back-to-front, the "Olympics here we come" thought is particularly interesting. Odom played an integral role for the edition of the U.S. men's national basketball team that won the gold medal at the 2010 FIBA World Championship in Turkey. Fresh off a title with the Los Angeles Lakers, Odom played out of position at center for the largely undersized squad, leading Team USA in rebounds and offering a young team the experience that comes with being an NBA champion and a veteran versed in international competition. And yet, because of Odom's horrendous performance in Dallas this year, he was reportedly removed from consideration for a spot on the roster that will represent America at the 2012 London Olympics this summer.

But injuries to big men Dwight Howard and LaMarcus Aldridge have left Team USA looking thin in the middle, and despite Kentucky Wildcats star and presumptive top overall pick Anthony Davis beingadded to the team's training camp roster, the dearth of healthy and available pivots could open the door to Odom once again. It sounds like he's planning on spending the next couple of months preparing for that possibility. (Either that or he just wants to head to London with the wife to watch all the fun in person.)

The other part, though, back at the beginning? That apparent doublespeak — "I want to play basketball and be good at it, I swear ... especially because it'll help me do the other things, off the court, that I really want to do" — is what drove Mavericks fans mad this year as they watched an out-of-shape and out-of-whack Odom sleepwalk through possessions, hit 35 percent of his shots and 25 percent of his 3-pointers, clash with coach Rick Carlisle and star Dirk Nowitzki, and ultimately give Mark Cuban's new-CBA-inspired remix of the defending champs nothing in his abbreviated stint in Big D.

If you want to be great, be great, Mavs fans seemed to say; there's nothing stopping you. To critiques like those, levied by fans like the ones to whom Odom responded Thursday night, the forward says, "Well, yeah, there was. You just couldn't see it."

And that makes sense; response to tragedy's an awful difficult thing to predict and analyze, and I feel pretty safe in saying that none of us would wish the stuff that Lamar Odom had to deal with this summer on our worst enemies. Then again, your job's your job, and you have to do it, because, y'know, it's your job. Odom was bad at his this year, which is why he's free to tweet about naming his theoretical next fashion line (he's already got those Rich Soil shirts) instead of being on the Mavericks bench watching them get walloped into an 0-3 hole.

Fans predisposed to think pro athletes are spoiled, coddled, rich dilettantes undeserving of our sympathy once they've broken our hearts will likely continue to think ill of Odom's lack of effort this season and seemingly fractured prioritization. Fans preferring to view players as humans rather than functionaries will likely see, marvel at and be struck dumb by the raw openness of Odom telling two fans he has never and will never meet that the reason he was bad this year at playing a game at which he has always been amazing was an inability to shake the image of his cousin being shot in the head.

Whatever you want to see, you'll be able to see it. Lamar Odom has offered us seemingly limitless options, and it only took him 140 characters to do it.
