50 Cent and Fat Joe infamously beefed for years, but they publicly buried the hatchet during a tribute to Chris Lighty at the 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards. Speaking with Hot 107.9’s Q Deezy, the Terror Squad leader explained that Lighty had tried to mend fences between the rappers several times, but it took his passing to finally bring them together.
“The same guy who discovered [50] discovered me, Chris Lighty, and Chris Lighty, I owe him everything because I used to hustle big time in the Bronx, and out of 50 of us, I’m the only one who got away because I got legit,” he said. “Everybody else got like 75 years in jail, God bless ‘em. So he literally saved my life. I never could believe I could be a rapper; he talked me into rapping. So he wanted us to make peace forever, but we were just being stubborn and ignoring him.”
Joey Crack said that he knew 50 would be part of the tribute, and when he arrived, Fif whispered a few “gentleman-like” things in his ear and they shook hands, thus ending the beef.
“I came to do the tribute. I knew 50 Cent would be there, but I came with like, we gon’ do this for Chris. And while we was there, 50 whispered some things in my ear that was gentleman-like. I’m a gentleman. I don’t dislike people. I’m one of the most loveable dudes in Hip Hop, believe it or not. So you know, he just said the right things and a handshake [was] involved and that was that. It’s just two grown men that just said yo, this is for Chris Lighty, this is for Hip Hop. Let’s move on with our lives.”

the so called beef was stupid anyway…it was nothing serious…just pride and ego.
true true. the best beefs are the ones that are short sweet on wax. like a boxing match. this year long antagonism is just wack. doesn’t really help them after awhile.
SO HAPPY BOUT THIS BEEN FANS OF BOTH FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND THIS COULD HAVE GOT UGLY CAUSE WE ALL KNOW 50 A REAL NIGGA BUT SO IS JOE AND JOE GOT CRAZY PRISON NIGGAS ROUND HIM
lmao…”50 whispered some things in my ear that was gentleman-like”
dat is so gay!!!!
Corny fuck. Grow up!
rappers nowadays squash beef by whispering gentlemen-like things in their ears & they claim to be gangstars. gtfouh
Fat Joe and 50 Cent are two of the best to ever do this music, a collab would be monstrous 4 real 4 real. I’m so glad this happened.
Good to see this happen. It’s a shame it takes somebody close to you to die before you wake up and move past petty shit. I guess we all got that in common.
Hate to be the ultimate pessimist, but wait until 50 feels he needs some free publicity, he’ll renege on the “gentlmenly-esque” comments and say some fly shit about Joe….wait and watch….
yep thats 50 cant find a way to get attention. dumbass he could fart n get media coverage
It’s Sad How One Person Has 2 Die To Make These Two Rappers Come Together #SMH R.I.P Chris Lighty.
It’s sad when people put hashtags on websites other than fucking twitter.
its sad when you and i myself comment back on stupid shit
“hahaha whispering in each other’s ear” don’t you guys maybe figure they were on stage, or somewhere backstage with their crews around, maybe? Smh
Most comments about this are so corny…don’t you think it was loud at the BET Hip Hop awards. Of course they needed to whisper or talk to each other near the ear. Some of y’all need to grow up.
This is a good look for 50 as he has ended feuds with a couple people in the past like the LOX and now Fat Joe. Good lookin 50… Good for Hip Hop but their beef was never too serious to begin with. It was just a couple shots over wax, nothing else
I owe him everything because I used to hustle big time in the Bronx???????? Really Joe?????
-_- Work on your reading comprehension skills fam, he’s sayin he used to hustle and Chris pulled him away from that, and if that wouldn’t have happened he’d be locked the fuck up with the rest of his guys cuz he still woulda been out in them streets. I know our educational system’s in the toilet but godDAMN.
It’s great to see unity in hip hop. Much respect to Fif and Joey Crack. R.I.P. Chris Lighty.
UNITY!
Good to see 50 mature. I swear he took Fabolous’s words to heart when he said 50 was responsible for NY’s decline in rap. He’s been more on some unity shit ever since.
All you dumb fucks commenting on about the whispering thing need to grow the fuck up!! ….Good to see that they’re on good terms now.
he whispered the right gentlemen-like things in your ear? what a gay why to phrase it.
No Frank Ocean!
Beef is possibly the worst thing about hip hop no matter who is involved, good for them.
youre dumb. violent beef maybe. but beef has started soo many careers and produced some of the best songs in hip hop. you only heard get rich or die trying because “how to rob” just to name one.
“50 whispered some things in my ear that was gentleman-like”
Then after the show they went to Frank Ocean’s crib for a hot tub party.
Whatever you want to imagine to get you off man.
LOL OWNED, FAIL!
GAY ASS NIGGAS THINK GAY ASS WAYS
the joke was so corny above all else
gentle men whispering game in another man’s ear.
It was just a pause, FIF will always get at Joe, I doubt anything has been squashed. FIF enjoys fucking with JOE.
Louis Farrakhan helped squash another beef!
In your wet dreams.
Fat joe, Ja rule gonn kill you now
I feel Fat joe is a fag… There was this other interview where he was talkin’ about Ja Rule and said “Ja Rule is a beautiful beautiful dude”, and now he says 50 said “gentleman-like things” in his ear… The fuck joe?

50 cent sucks shit now, he fell off hard, this tracklist is a waste of time.
Lighters is produced by DJ Felli Fel so its fake lol.
obviously it’s fake with I’m on it
u can tell its fake cause theres a bunch of bigass producers. usually theres a few producers on new albums that we’ve never heard of
No matter what…it’s always gonna take a death in Hip-Hop before people get along…
what fifty whispered to fat joe:
“ahh yeah girl, you should lean back on my dick and let me take you to the candy shop”
what about growing the fuck up?
Glad they squashed it.
“Whatever you want to imagine to get you off man”
Your mom told me the #1 thing you want to ask Big Sean is why he calls himself big, and if your mouth opens wide enough will he spray some good music in your mouth.
I applaud both men this was a grown up move for two grown up men who have done so much for HipHop in their careers RIP BIG PUN
real talk …………
Real hood niggaz like Ja Rule kill niggaz who support snitches… I’m sorry Joe, but you gonna die.
Ja Rule needs to murder this hoe ass fat joe

Ja Rule is a real ass nigga who goes wild with the crutch when there’s a need to.
Ja Rule could fuck these faggits up… Fat Joe was cool, but wtf son… You can’t be cool with tha mothafuckin’ 5-0, that’s why Ja’s gonna kill yo ass!
Fuck these faggits, Ja Rule is where it’s at.
Ja Rule could fuck fat joe up easily.. With his crutch.
Ja Rule fucked 50 cent up with tha mothafuckin’ crutch, he’ll kill fat joe now too.
Ja Rule will be back!!!!!!!!
In his pre-Terror squad interviews he used to say it was Diamond D who discovered him and put him on. Now I don’t know what to believe.
beef beef beef! no value at all so why keep it still.
