Ja Rule ends 2024 with petty jabs at 50 Cent.
As the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve, many of us entered 2025 with resolutions aimed at self-improvement. Mine? Cutting out unnecessary calories. Ja Rule’s? Channeling his inner Petty Wap.
More than two decades after their infamous feud peaked, Ja Rule has decided to reheat his beef with 50 Cent. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Ja couldn’t resist throwing a few playful jabs at his old rival. First, he commented on a post teasing 50’s Vegas residency, chiming in with a cheeky “Not the Worst.” Then, in response to a fan declaring their preference for Ja’s music over 50’s, he jokingly called for a recount.
Not the worst… ??? #ICONN https://t.co/BfijIBzuQ2

Here’s the wild part: 50 Cent, who once seemed like beef’s biggest advocate, has actually squashed most of his feuds in recent years. He’s even on good terms with folks like Fat Joe, Cam’ron, Jadakiss, and Lil Wayne. But his rivalry with Ja? That one seems eternal.
While their back-and-forth now has a lighter, more nostalgic tone, it’s refreshing to see Ja Rule’s contributions to hip-hop being appreciated again after years of being overshadowed. For the record, I’ve always been Team Ja—his music just hit differently back in the day.
Only divine intervention could ever get 50 and Ja to fully bury the hatchet. Until then, let’s enjoy the playful jabs and relive the nostalgia.
