Ja Rule Fires Back at 50 Cent Amid Ongoing Beef: A New Chapter in a Legendary Hip-Hop Feud
The long-standing feud between 50 Cent and Ja Rule has reignited once again, this time sparked by a controversial move from 50 Cent on social media. In a new video making waves online, Ja Rule claps back at 50 Cent after the G-Unit mogul appeared to mock the rumored passing of Irv Gotti, Ja Rule’s longtime friend, collaborator, and founder of Murder Inc. Records.
The clapback comes after 50 Cent posted a series of tweets allegedly disrespecting Gotti, adding fuel to a rivalry that has spanned over two decades. Ja Rule didn’t hold back, defending Gotti’s legacy and once again challenging 50’s credibility.
A Brief History of the 50 Cent vs. Ja Rule Beef
The beef between 50 Cent and Ja Rule is one of the most iconic and explosive rivalries in hip-hop history. It began in the late 1990s in Queens, New York, where both rappers are from. Tensions reportedly started over street affiliations and a robbery incident involving a Murder Inc. associate. What began as a local street dispute quickly spilled into the studio and onto wax.
The Early 2000s: Diss Tracks and Label Wars
50 Cent officially put the beef on wax with tracks like “Life’s on the Line” and the infamous “Back Down” from his debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Ja Rule, backed by Murder Inc., responded with “Loose Change”, dissing 50, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and more. What followed was a brutal lyrical war, public confrontations, and industry power moves.
As 50 Cent’s star rose with the backing of Shady/Aftermath, Murder Inc. found itself under federal investigation, which ultimately hurt Ja Rule’s momentum. While Ja had been a dominant force on the charts in the early 2000s, 50 Cent’s rise, combined with public opinion turning against Murder Inc., helped shift the balance of power.
The Social Media Era: Petty Posts and Viral Moments
In recent years, 50 Cent has kept the beef alive on social media, using his platform to troll Ja Rule at every opportunity. Whether it was buying the front rows of a Ja Rule concert just to leave them empty or posting memes and taunts, 50 has made Ja Rule a regular target.
Ja Rule, for the most part, responded in interviews and with dignity—until now.
The Latest Chapter: Ja Rule Fires Back
With 50 Cent allegedly mocking Irv Gotti’s rumored death, Ja Rule has taken a firm stand. In a newly released video, he doesn’t mince words, calling out 50 for what he sees as a disgusting lack of respect.
“You’ve been obsessed with me for 20 years,” Ja says in the video. “Now you’re mocking death? You a different kind of clown.”
The video is gaining major attention, with fans and artists alike weighing in on the drama. Some are praising Ja for standing up for his longtime friend and mentor, while others are questioning whether this is yet another round of promotional tactics in a never-ending hip-hop saga.
Final Thoughts
While the 50 Cent vs. Ja Rule beef has had its quieter moments, it never truly ended. The recent controversy around Irv Gotti has opened a new chapter, proving that some hip-hop feuds don’t die—they just evolve with the times.
