(L) Ja Rule and 50 Cent (R)
It is a well-known fact that Ja Rule has been at odds with fellow rapper 50 Cent and his close G-Unit associate, Tony Yayo, for a very long time.
As a matter of fact, Ja Rule and 50 Cent have been beefing for over 20 years, and the pair do not shy away from throwing shots at each other in public and on social media.
They have also made their feelings known about each other through diss songs.
And though other popular hip hop feuds have eventually been settled amicably, it appears that would not be the case for this one, as Ja Rule, 49, recently made it known that he’s not open to ending his beef with 50 Cent and Yayo.
The New York rapper touched on their feud during an interview with TMZ on Tuesday, saying that he was “never” going to be on good terms with 50 Cent, 50, and Yayo, 47.
Before touching on that topic, however, Ja Rule was asked why he decided to apologize after he got into an altercation with Yayo and fellow rapper Uncle Murda on a Delta flight several days ago.
“I’m a grown man,” Ja Rule said in response to being asked why he apologized. The interviewer then asked the 49-year-old if there was a possibility of him having a sit-down with 50 Cent and Yayo.
“Never,” Ja Rule replied. “Here’s the reality, right? Sometimes in life, people have enemies, and that’s okay. You know what I’m saying? That’s okay to have enemies. Everybody can’t be friends.”
He added, “But what I’m saying is, we don’t also have to be at war. There’s room for us to be not friends and also not be at war.”
Ja Rule then emphasized that he was currently in that position. “I don’t deal with that side. I don’t f*ck with them, they don’t f*ck with me,” he continued. “That’s fine. But I also don’t have to be at war. You know what I’m saying? I’m a grown man, I’m almost 50 years old. And so you know, we’re doing big things out here.”
Following the Delta flight incident with Yayo and Uncle Murda, Ja Rule apologized for his actions in a statement.
“I’m not proud of my behavior, it’s goofy to me. I’m a grown man about to be a proud grandfather and I wish that video of me wasn’t out there either,” he said in the statement.
“I don’t like people taking me out of my character so for that I apologize to my wife, family, fans, business and investment partners. I want people to know at the end of the day I’m still a man and I’m going to stand my ground. I don’t start trouble,” he added.
