50 Cent’s beef with Ja Rule

Before 50 cent was signed to Interscope by Eminem and Dr Dre, he had beef with Murder Inc., specifically Ja Rule. It is speculated that Murder Inc. was funded by the infamous Queens drug kingpin Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff.  The beef between 50 cent and Ja Rule and McGriff is thought to have started when 50 cent released the song Ghetto Qu’ran. In the song 50 raps about McGriff and several of his associates, detailing their criminal activities and lifestyles, they did not like this.

The beef escalated when 50 released a Ja Rule diss track entitled, “Life’s On The Line”. After this release, a confrontation between 50 cent and Ja Rule resulted in 50 cent punching Ja Rule and starting a fight. Later in a New York studio rapper Black Child stabbed 50 cent when the studio lights went out, claiming that 50 cent was reaching for a gun. The two released several diss mixtapes, that often featured skits mocking the other artist. Murder Inc attempted to hurt 50’s street credit by releasing a restraining order 50 filed against Irv Gotti and Black Child.

50 cent released a Battle Rap Track entitled “Back Down.”, in response, Black Child and Cadillac Tah (Murder Inc Label Mates) fired back at 50 with several mixtape releases. Ja Rule refused to respond until 50 Cent released “Realest Killaz” where he accuses Ja Rule of imitating the late Tupac, he responded to this track with three tracks; “War is On”, “Guess Who Shot Ya” and “Loose Change.” Ja rule then released an album “Blood in My Eye”, which for the most part was a 50 cent diss album. For a short period the two squashed the beef, but before most people even noticed, Ja Rule released a diss to 50 cent called “21 Gunz” on a Murder Inc Mixtape in May of 2006. Lloyd Banks and 50 Cent responded with a track entitled “Return of Ja Fool”.
