Former Def Jam rapper Ja Rule recently talked about his past relationship with rap rival 50 Cent and revealed they had an opportunity to put out a collaboration.
According to Rule, 50 approached him during his pre-fame days about working together.
“We had like a semi-relationship back in the days. We used to be on [late hip-hop pioneer] Jam Master Jay‘s label and I used to go to Jam Master Jay’s studio and see him all the time. He used to be like, ‘Yo Rule, let’s put a record together. Let’s do a record together.’ It just never manifested. We were in each other’s comforts. It’s real crazy. I don’t think we have anything to say to each other except good luck to you. I’ve come a long way, Ness, if you had asked me these questions three or four years ago, I might have said I hope that n*gga dies.” (Hot 97)
In summer 2014, Rule jumped onto his Twitter page to lash out at Fif for dissing him at Hot 97’s Summer Jam concert.
“D*mn after all these years I’m still in a n*ggas head lmao!!! Thanks for the shoutout @50cent ????????????????????????????????????#SummerJam2014,” Ja tweeted June 2.
“This n*gga been on my d*ck he love my style!!! (Nas voice) lmfao”
“Ya’ll respect the one who got shot??? I respect the shooter!!! N*ggas these days smh #hustlingbackwards lmao…”
“I’m living good I can’t loose!!! Lmao…” (Ja Rule’s Twitter)
During the Summer Jam concert, 50 performed his anti-Murder Inc. track “I Smell P*ssy.”
9:55 pm EST: 50’s takeover of Summer Jam continues, as he goes into “Hold On,” a popular street cut from his forthcoming LP “Animal Ambition.” The entourages behind the stage have been somewhat contained. 50 cues up “I Smell P*ssy,” letting his old beefs with Irv Gotti and Ja Rule live. Some grudges are hard to shake. (Billboard)
Back in February 2014, Rule said maturity and growth as men helped their run-in aboard a flight turn out peacefully.
Last year, you shared a flight with your former foe 50 Cent. What happened when you two saw each other? We actually did share the same flight [laughs] which is crazy. Ain’t nothing really to talk about it is what it was. He seen me, I seen him. We said what’s up and we rode our flight and that was that. No animosity? Not at all, we both grown men now. You guys had an epic beef. It’s not really like that in hip-hop anymore, right? That was a long time ago. We’re both about our money, about our families and we’re doing what we’re doing. (VIBE)
yeah you didn’t want to do a record with the nigga because he was nothing back then JA…don’t lie
Fiddy is an idiot, he used to CLOWN Rule for singing while copying the same singing style
Same rapper you were dissing is exactly what you’ve become, Budden called that in 04 on Big Shot with that line.
You need to get those facts straight. 50 never blamed Ja for singing. If you listen to some of his mixtapes before GRODT you’ll notice he was singing already. He only said Ja was making bubblegum shit rap and was trying to outshine Mary J Blige on Rainy days. And even if 50 did copy that style. 50 did it way better tho. Compared to the bullshit we hear nowadays Ja was never a bad rapper. I was bumping his music too but I can’t co-sign fake rappers so I really trying to figure out why niggaz fuck with Ross.
I’m from NYC, I knew exactly what he said and was on top of the the whole thing
Well, I’m not from NYC but unlike the majority I did listen to 50 before GRODT so I know what I’m talking about.
Who the fuck says “Fiddy”… I can tell you white. FOH culture vulture
