Jadakiss and Freeway had a beef that goes all the way back to the early 2000s, but now, the elder statesmen of Hip Hop have a message for the younguns.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday (April 27), the “Take It to the Top” rapper posted a photo with the “Money, Power, Respect” rapper standing outside of a building in Yonkers, Westchester County, NY.

“Out Yonkers with my bro,” Freeway wrote in the caption.
In the next slide, Freeway and Jadakiss had a message for the young rappers of today who put the focus on “beef” more than on artistry.
“I’m in Yonkers with my brother, Jadakiss,” he began. “And this is a lesson for all y’all younguns. Y’all got beef, and y’all think you can’t squash it. And y’all think it’s impossible to squash it. Me and this man had beef at one time. And this is my brother now.”
“We here now, you know what I mean?” interjected Jadakiss.
Jadakiss and Freeway first squashed their beef all the way back in 2021.
The Roc-A-Fella and D-Block beef of the early 2000s nearly turned violent outside of the exchange of scathing diss tracks, but luckily, cooler heads ended up prevailing on both sides. Two decades later, Jadakiss and Freeway are closer than ever and even consider each other “brothers.”
The State Property rapper hopes settling his beef with The LOX can serve as an example for younger rappers currently entrenched in pointless feuds.
“Here’s a little history lesson for all y’all young folks out there that think killing is the answer,” Freeway wrote on Instagram at the time. “At one time me in my bro @beaniesigelsp was enemies with @jadakiss and the whole #Dblock! It was definitely up! But we managed to come together talk it out and now we are brothers that work together and provide for our families! Think about the decisions you make before it’s too late!”

The heartwarming post also came along with a couple of clips from a recent linkup between Freeway, Jadakiss, and the Broad Street Bully Beanie Sigel.
“A lot of y’all don’t know, behind the scenes, we’re brothers for real,” said Jada with his arms around the Philly natives. “Allah is the greatest. These my real brothers and Philly’s my second home. We got a lot of things about to happen and a lot of dudes can’t do this or say that, but if I die tonight, these my brothers for real.”
