In the clip, Yayo spoke on G-Unit’s past beef with Terror Squad while the rest of the crew wore hats sporting the name of his former rival group.
“Yo, the realest beef was with Terror Squad,” Tony Yayo said. “He was a real n-gga, I gotta give it up. The realest beef was with Fat Joe and them. We outside.”

Pistol Pete responded: “Tony Yayo, we fuck with you, though. We out here in the trenches, n-gga. We out here, fuck all that. We out here together, n-gga, a bunch of real n-ggas.”
Uncle Murda and CJ, who’s best known for his hit 2020 single “Whoopty,” also appeared in the video.
G-Unit and Terror Squad’s feud erupted in the mid 2000s after Fat Joe collaborated with 50 Cent’s fierce rival, Ja Rule.
After sparring lyrically on “Piggy Bank” and “My FoFo,” tensions between 50 and Joe spilled over at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, where they exchanged disses onstage and their respective crews almost came to blows backstage.

During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, 50 Cent expressed regret over dragging Fat Joe into his war with Ja Rule, admitting he was “buggin'” for going after anyone affiliated with Ja,
“There’s an element, a part of our culture that I’m aware of it because I am it,” he said. “Your Lil Durks, your NBA YoungBoys, the whole surrounding cast of that … it almost splits our culture in half because when you cool with one, you can’t work with the other.
“I was using the same thinking in the very beginning of my career because it’s just the thinking you would use in the environment. If anybody went next to Ja Rule, I’d jump on the person who featured with them, anybody who was faintly near them, ’cause I put him on life support and you wanna go resuscitate him.”
He added: “So that energy, later you look at it and you go, ‘I was buggin.’”

Despite their complicated history, 50 Cent went on to praise Fat Joe for his loyalty to Ja Rule and Murder Inc.
“Fat Joe, his issues, I would see him a little uncomfortable with the success I was having, and I interpreted as, ‘He doesn’t like me,’ when he’s really the kind of guy you want to be friends with because he’s loyal to a default,” he said.
“He’s so loyal for one record that [Murder Inc.] did with him that we became enemies.”
