Ja Rule Says Battling 50 Cent On IG Live Would “Disrespect the Culture”

Ja Rule: “Battling 50 Cent On Versuz Would Disrespect the Culture”

Ja Rule seemingly challenged his longtime rival 50 Cent to a hit-for-hit battle on Instagram live during a conversation with Fat Joe and Swizz Beatz who are the founders of ‘Versuz’.

50 Cent declined the challenge, sharing a clip of himself smiling and driving off in a car on Instagram, with a caption that reads, “Who want to battle, and here’s a moment of silence for the still sick and suffering. LOL.”

Fif went ahead to clown Ja Rule with a photoshopped picture of the rapper holding a placard that reads “I will battle 50 Cent for attention,” insinuating that Ja Rule only wants to battle him for clout.

Ja Rule has since clapped back, calling 50 Cent a coward for declining. Rule posted a photo of 50 Cent with “Shook Ones Pt. II” by Mobb Deep playing along with the caption “COWARD.” He then shared a screenshot of a separate article about 50 Cent’s reaction with the song’s hook playing.

It appears, Ja Rule has retracted his words as he’s no longer interested in battling 50 on IG live. In a recent interview with Hot 97, Sunday, he praised the series but admitted that he will not be performing on it.

“I never back down from a battle, man. I love it,” Rule started with. “My catalog speaks for itself. I have a great catalog. It would be dope for hip-hop. It would be fun, and it’s for the culture. Versuz is about love and respect for each other’s catalog, and what you’ve done for music, and what you contributed.

“I don’t know if me and him can do that. I don’t know if that would work. Just for respect of the culture. I would never want to disrespect the culture and let me and his little thing get into the love and respect of what Versuz has brought to the culture, for each other’s catalog and the artistry. I would never want to tarnish that,” Rule added.
