Ja Rule doubled down on his belief that he’s the superior rapper to 50 Cent, despite conceding over a decade ago that he lost their infamous Hip-Hop feud that helped reshape the early 2000s.
During a recent appearance on the “7 P.M. in Brooklyn” podcast hosted by Carmelo Anthony and Kazeem Famuyide, the Queens-bred rapper revisited the long-standing grudge match with the G-Unit frontman. While acknowledging it was an “unpopular opinion”, Ja Rule stood firm in his claim that his artistry outshone 50’s. The comments come despite Ja Rule’s 2013 admission that he lost the battle to 50 Cent, whose string of scathing diss tracks — including “Back Down,” “Wanksta,” and “I Smell P*ssy” — helped derail Ja’s commercial reign.
The feud also fractured the New York Hip-Hop scene, something Ja reflected on during the interview. When the conversation shifted to the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, Ja Rule offered his take on the fallout and why he thinks Drake doesn’t need any advice.
