Ja Rule led a touching tribute to Irv Gotti for his opening set on Nelly‘s Where The Party At Tour, where Eve is also a supporting act.
During the trek’s stop in Ottowa on Monday (April 14), Ja queued up his song “I Cry” with a montage of photos of Irv and his family on the big screen as he played audio of the late mogul sharing kind words for DMX after he’d passed.
“Gotti I love you n-gga!” Ja said before launching into the song. “X, I love you n-gga!”
Check out the clip below.
50 Cent and Ja Rule’s long-running feud recently reescalated after the latter said he was ready to “go nuclear” on his old enemy over his disrespectful comments about Irv Gotti.

Appearing on The Breakfast Club last week, Ja revealed that he was angry about 50 mocking the recent death of his close friend and former Murder Inc. label boss Gotti, but was talked out of responding to him by Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff.
50 fired back shortly after, posting a clip of Ja’s comments on Instagram and writing: “The Breakfast Club should be ashamed of themselves asking questions that perpetuate violence. This fool has been ready to go what he calls nuclear for 22 years. LOL.”
The G-Unit mogul then further taunted the late Gotti by adding: “Ya man in my Runtz right now!”
50’s sneering post (which has since been deleted) caused Ja Rule to launch into a social media rant in which he rubbished his career, brought up the 2000 attempt on his life and even accused his longtime nemesis of being a snitch.

“@50cent SUCK MY DICK you bitch ass n-gga… I already ate your lunch shut up!!!” he wrote on X. “Until you do something to the n-ggas that shot you you can’t troll no more… [laughing face emoji] handle your business chump lmao…”
He added: “@50cent N-gga you’re a used car salesman everything you do is trash music 1 good album after that trash liquor trash tv shows yeah I said it TRASH how many times you gonna make the same show that coke stepped on parenting trash character trash n-gga you the garbage man… [laughing face emoji].

In response to a fan who argued that 50 Cent “ended Murder Inc.,” Ja hit back: “You’re right he told the Feds murder inc had him shot and they put us under federal indictment… [rat emoji].”

The “Holla” hitmaker then doubled down on his claim by posting alleged paperwork which referred to Curtis Jackson, which is 50’s real name, as an “informant.”
“@50cent Go ahead and lie tell these good people tell the paperwork fake so I can send this next shot… WE GOT RECEIPTS boo boo…,” Ja wrote.
He also posted screenshots of a HipHopDX article from 2016 about former G-Unit affiliate Bang ‘Em Smurf claiming that 50 sought an order of protection against Murder Inc. following the stabbing of a studio engineer.

“Say I’m lying n-gga I DARE YOU… n-gga said he had to talk yayo out of telling [laughing face emojis] you can’t make this shit up…,” Ja added.
