Ja Rule has said that the current feuds in Hip Hop are nothing compared to his legendary beef with 50 Cent.
Making his thoughts known on X (formerly Twitter), Ja initially joked: “20V1 I can relate,” referencing Drake’s line on “Push Ups” about his enemies ganging up on him.

He then called for peace in Hip Hop: “Hip hop is a family… and no one wins when the family feuds!!! Don’t let that go over your head.”
The Queens, New York native later explained a key distinction between Drizzy’s battle with Kendrick Lamar and co. and his own bitter feud with 50.
“Gunit literally had an ORDER OF PROTECTION against murder Inc… can you imagine if one of the camps in this beef right now put an order of protection on the other,” he said.
Ja Rule recently revisited his long-running beef with 50 Cent during an interview with Piers Morgan.
The British broadcaster asked Ja who would win in a fight between him and the G-Unit mogul, to which he replied: “That’s happened already too, Piers. You gotta do your research.”

Asked by Morgan who won, the “Always On Time” hitmaker answered: “I did, Piers.”
Ja went on to call their feud “one-sided,” adding: “You never see me say anything about him. I just mind my business, do my business… I don’t do the back and forth.”
Appearing on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, he said: “I think 50 knew that Ja was not who he was portraying as an image. Ja [was a] Jehovah’s Witness… I’m not saying they not supposed to rap, but Ja was coming up with this gangster image. It was like, ‘That’s a stretch for you.’

“They had some very neighborhood beef. I remember when we signed 50 there was something going on. I think he snatched Ja’s chain or somebody snatched somebody’s… And then they had a fight in Atlanta… and it was just like, I never understood it.”
Stoute continued: “I was like, ‘Why do you keep having problems with this guy?’ It was like he was always looking for problems…I think it was driven by this idea that this image he was portraying he didn’t think was authentic.”

He also corroborated Ja’s fight story by saying: “It led to big issues. Ja and his guys ran up on 50 in the studio one day. They touched him up.”
