For some reason the whole thing smells fitty, er, I mean fishy…the only question is, which party is guilty?

The multimillion-dollar Long Island home at the center of a dispute between rapper 50 Cent and his former girlfriend was destroyed by a suspicious fire early today, officials said.

The blaze occurred just days after a heated confrontation inside the woman’s lawyers office over the home.

The rapper does not live in the home and was not there at the time of the fire, officials said.

Six people inside the Dix Hills home suffering smoke inhalation, including the former girlfriend and a boy fathered by the rapper.

A firefighter also suffered a minor eye injury, officials said.

Fire officials from the Suffolk County arson squad were called to the home after Dix Hills Fire Chief Larry Feld deemed the blaze suspicious.

The fire was reported about 5 a.m. and extinguished an hour later, officials said.

The rapper’s ex-girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, and two of her children – including 50 Cent’s son – were among the injured.

The other three adults in the home were not immediately identified.

Earlier this year, Tompkins filed a lawsuit against the rapper – whose real name is Curtis Jackson – claiming he had promised her the $2.4 million house more than a decade ago but that since their breakup he now wants to evict her and their 10-year-old son.

Tompkins’ lawyer, Paul Catsandonis, said the dispute over the house had become “extremely, extremely contentious” in recent days.

Although he declined to be specific, he said there was an “extremely dangerous incident” Monday in his Manhattan office while taking a deposition for the lawsuit.
