Ja Rule and 50 Cent had one of the most personal beefs in recent years and talked shit about each other for months on end. In a recent interview with Launch, Ja Rule tried to downplay his involvement and lead many to believe that he wants to end the beef with 50.

“You know, outside of, you know, homeboy making his records or whatever, there’s really been no talk from me about it or any records made by me about it,” Ja Rule said. “It’s been all media hype. All the stations, they always want to ask me about it. They always want to ask him about it. They always want to prolong it instead of just letting it die, and now the kids are involved. You got the kids running around, ‘I’m down with Murder Inc.!’ ‘I’m down with these n–gas!'”

Judging by his comments in XXL, 50 views the situation a little differently.

“Now Ja–me and him have differences. He makes records that are good enough to sell some records. The only reason that I’d speak about him on a record is because he’s an artist; a pop artist. I would personally whoop his ass if he’d like, we could squash this right now and go out back and shoot a fair one. Maybe Irv can come back, too. I’ll whip the skin off Irv.”
