Ja Rule‘s Verzuz battle with Fat Joe wasn’t the only slice of early ’00s Hip Hop nostalgia being served up this week; Murder Inc.’s once-sizzling beef with 50 Cent is back on the grill, too.
Murder Inc. executive Irv Gotti reignited the long-running feud on Tuesday (September 14) by throwing shots at 50 during Ja and Joey’s aforementioned Verzuz contest, which the G-Unit general was rumored to show up at.
“All y’all talking about that 50 shit,” he wrote in the comments section of the livestream. “All good. He got beat up stabbed up. Shot up. And sued us. That’s all I’m gonna say. Your hero ain’t what you think he is. Period. And facts.”
50 Cent swiftly responded to Irv Gotti’s jabs with a series of Instagram posts on Wednesday morning (September 15) that read, “I put they whole label out of business, f_ck with me if you want to. I would stay out of my way if i wasn’t me. LOL.”
Now, Ja Rule has entered the fray by firing back at his long-time nemesis. During an interview with Big Tigger on Atlanta’s V-103 radio station on Wednesday (September 15), the Queens native issued a response to 50 while dragging another former foe into the confrontation: Eminem.
“He like to throw his head up there, his hat on there, like he was the guy,” Ja said. “Stop, man! Eminem made you, created you. You’re nothing without that fucking white boy. Stop!”
Eminem inadvertently got dragged into Ja Rule and 50 Cent’s beef when Em signed 50 to his Shady Records imprint in 2002. The following year, Ja dissed Eminem on “Loose Change,” which Slim Shady responded to on “Hail Mary.” The spat continued on songs such as “Doe Rae Me (Hailie’s Revenge)” and “Blood In My Eye.”
During the interview, Ja Rule also addressed 50 Cent’s claim that he put Murder Inc. out of business, recalling the label’s difficult reality when they came under federal investigation in the mid-’00s for alleged dealings with Queens drug lord Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff.
“[The feds] treated us like a criminal mob organization,” he recalled. “When they do that, what they do is they suck all your resources. They shut you down financially, they shut down your bank accounts, they take all your assets, they seize everything, so that you can’t fight, it makes it hard for you to fight.
“So now, how you think I’m fighting a rap battle? … I’m fighting a real fight! So everybody loves to say that. And then, on top of it all — come on, man, I’m battling 17 rappers!”
Ja Rule Scoffs At Rumored 50 Cent Cameo During Fat Joe Verzuz: 'That Would Be The Dumbest Thing Ever'
Despite the war of words with his old enemy 50, Ja Rule outlasted Fat Joe in their Verzuz battle thanks to a tight setlist, New York-style trash talk and surprise guest appearances from Ashanti, Lil’ Mo and Vida.
I’m sorry Ja, you had great hits around 2000, but nobody cares about them. You are only brought up in the 50-Eminem discussion. This is not a worthy legacy.
Ja sit down fam. You have nothing left of a career so it’s easy to talk wreckless, them responding to you would make you look good
This is like the bully that picks on bigger bullies and then cries cause all of the bullies that he tried to bully, are bullying him back LMAO.
Ja’s return disses were total bricks when the beef was at it’s height. Fed case or not, wack bars lead to lost wars
Chill out, Cookie Monster ???
Still so bitter
World’s longest lasting L
Hahahahaha… #NLG in tha house
Ja Rule WHO? lol.
And you’re nothing without J-Lo. Bye.
Ja Rule more like JA FOOL !!!
First 50 did destroyed Ja, Second Em destroyed Ja, Third Ja destroyed his self trying to go R&B. Yes he had a couple of hits,but which one was the hottest The one with R Kelly. He need the stop ( along with a lot of rappers) calling Em a white boy because Em is a top 10 maybe 5 rapper of all time. I mean come on if he really felt a way about it him and irv get in the studio and get at 50 and Em and let’s see what happens. He Won’t sooo just STFU about it already. He hasn’t been relevant for a long tim
em did not destroy Ja lol comon. Em is top 5 most overrated rapper of all time lol. just has a cult of Stans that keep buying his trash albums smh
You’re just racist
Yupp your dumb
That’s why all your favorite rappers have him in their top 5. Your racism is showing ?. “Em a monster, that boy a monster” – Lil Wayne
Your full of shit, the only artist ever to have 2 diamond albums and 2 diamond singles, in ANY MUSUC GENRE! HE IS THEEE MOST SUCCESS HIP HOP ARTIST OF ALLL TIME! fuck you mean!? Eminem is the goat n can’t no one do shit about it, lol! That WHITE BOY owns rap music! Lmao! Y’all haters! Lololol! Jay z, the game, 50 cent, snoop, dre, cube has all said in there own words don’t no body want it with em, n that’s co.ubg from your hip hop legends!
I love Eminem and I’m one of his BIGGEST fans BUT he’s NOT the first nor is he the only Artist to have multiple diamond selling albums in a genre. That title goes to Michael Jackson as far as having multiple, long before Em did. “Thriller”, “Bad”, “Dangerous” and if I recall correctly, “Off The Wall” are all mutli diamond selling albums and have been for a LONG stretch of time, ESPECIALLY “Thriller”.
You dumb
Yeah, here is what racism looks like folks.
Isn’t this the guy from the gyro commercial
Eminem- Bully
is all i got to say, Em destroys everybody in the game but Dax of all people should eminem consider du sign Dax
Coming from the guy who tried to save his career by doing an r and b song with crack head bobby brown! ?????
Fire island bro
I like donuts
So does your mom, tell her fatass to put them down.
How r so many people getting cancelled for saying something related to a person’s race except for when it comes to white people? What does it matter the race of someone who put someone else on. If your gonna use race as a derogatory term trying to discredit 50 because of em, then that’s just as bad as saying you wouldn’t of been able to fight your battle against the fed if you didn’t have white lawyers to bak you up cause there so much better than black or hispanic lawyers. Gtfoh! It’s time to move forward as a human race for the sake of everyone!
Black people can be just as racist or worse than other races. This guy Ja is definitely one of them. Just because he not white and not wearing a white hat don’t make him or people like him any less racist than those who do. We are now living in a sensitive world, so in return the minorities are controlling the narrative.
Imagine if this was other way around. If Eminem said “you are nothing without that fucking black boy” – Eminem would receive hate right away. TMZ would be all over it.
Smh… men acting like broads. All this sh*t happened over 20yrs ago. Let’s move on!
I think Ja Rule got caught in the middle of a beef that was actually Irv Gotti’s beef because 50 didn’t mess with Supreme Team. Ja caught it because he was tight with a crew that 50 had in his sights. 50 Cent is a Cancer. There memory and grudges are long. Lol. Irv started this new issue with the comment. He could of just let Ja and Joe do they thing. It was a little ignorant for Ja Rule to mention Eminem being a white boy but I understand why he said it. For years white rappers were not respected and it plays into the white slave master narrative which was a low key diss to 50 by Ja Rule at the expense of Enimem. ?
Good point. ?
Well people can say eminem wouldn’t have been shit without Dr. Dre too
It’s crazy cause everyone credits em for 50 but em asked for Dres help and went in half in 50s contract that was also backed by Jimmy. And not to mention Dre is responsible for most of the beats on 50s first album.. not em
Eminem would’ve came up without Dre. Dr Dre was just the lucky one who had the opportunity to open the door for him. Dude battled mc juice twice one in semi final of Scribble jam two in rap olympics in LA. As a nobody who lives in a trailer. And that’s really one of the things caught hip hops attention. Mc juice beat him both time but took him six rounds to finish Eminem. Remind you mc juice and supernatural and the two best battle rappers of all time. No debate. Eminem would’ve found success
Sounds like someone stole the cookie monsters last cookie..
Anyone notice the hype ja noodle has had ever since he got put back in the light on a bigger platform then he had in 15teen years. Went straight to his head. I think someone needs to tell him that verzuz battle goes down so far as the worst of them all.. the worst talked about and most crowned.. I remember listening to this dude and now years later watching this battle I was like wow I can’t stand to finish a song I kept changing it.. I icon is someone that has music you can pop on 20 or even 30 years later and injoy. Not this guy.. and dropping a racist remark probably gonna hurt his next bar show.. and can someone remind irv gotti his own family member shot his dumb a$$$
This is stupidest shit right here. Just take the Verzuz stage as the chance to revive your career Ja. As we saw in the Dipset/Lox battle , it helps your stream numbers so to revert back to the bickering and beefing with 50 is dumb. Grow the fuck up and be wiser when picking your battles.
Ja has always been better than 50. But 50 cent player chess better. Ja an murder inc murdered G Unit in the underground. But when it came to mainstream Ja shouldnt have dropped an album full of disses. 50 dropped a real album with hits and a couple disses. Its chess his album sold more. So he is the winner because his album sold more. The Inc couldnt even focus because but Ja still dropped New York. Which made 50 turn bitch and pick on fat joe and jadakiss. Got murdered. Dipset murdered him. He loves talking shit and getting shot up. Its how he hypes his records. 50 know he not winning but he knows how to hype up his albums
This isn’t 2002. This isn’t funny. This isn’t cool. And the whole world just turned around and said, “50 who? The dude on Instagram?” And “Ja who? The guy who keeps promoting bogus products to pay for his rental pants?”
Y’all need to leave 50 and eminem alone
50 and ja been beefing for so long they need to set up a celebrity boxing exhibition and take out on each other in the ring and squash it. Then the loser can’t talk anymore.
Man 50 producing hit TV series now he don’t have time to dealing with these low hanging fruit
I find all this funny.. these dudes be reaching..
How ja gonna cry that he had to battle 7 rappers coming at him. But turning out the lights and trying to jump a man and stab him on a planned attack is now gangsta? Where I’m from a real gangsta goes one on one with out the help of a weapon. No lights 7 people planned with a weapon is a coward.
And real gangstas don’t tell about it or talk about it..
And come on Irv gotti stop you took advantage of Ashanti on some R Kelly type crap. She was still a kid.. you got dropped from the source magazine and was like vice president..lol then git shot by your own flesh and blood.. this shoukd go to show his real true self.. one on one both ja or irv couldn’t beat 50.. if so they could of pulled up at anytime. This is all for show and to try to get some credit back.. Karma already beat both you down…haha
Em the goat of rap what the fuck is y’all stupid he got good too Kool tracks some not stop dude in a world he never could or would understand
