Ja Rule says 50 Cent used to want to do a song with him to get big

During a recent interview with Math Hoffa, Mecc, Champ, Bigga, and Gat on My Expert Opinion, Ja Rule recounted a conversation he had with 50 Cent many years ago, during which he expressed his interest in collaborating on a song together. Initially, everything seemed fine between them.

“I use to go over to Jam Master Jay’s studio when he was signed to JMJ because Black Child was over there. He was also signing to JMJ. So I go over there, go see my n**ga Black. And you know… I was already on. I had a record deal with my n**gas Cash Money Click, so he used to kick it with me. 50 Cent used to want to do a record with me. The record never got done.” said Ja Rule.

Then he continued: “I got nothing against him but the record never got done. I’m busy, I’m running around, I’m trying to do things. It’s no slight to nobody, it just didn’t happen We had our first encounter in Atlanta. We had a talk. Uncle Chaz came to me, said, ‘Yo, homie ’bout to pull up. Would you want to have a conversation?’ I said, ‘Alright cool, we’ll have a conversation,'”

“And when we had a conversation — ‘Yo, it’s just a record. You know I’m just trying to get out there. Chump s–t, wack s–t. I’m a real artist, n**ga. I’m a real n**ga. This is wack to me, n**ga. I don’t give a f–k. If we’re gonna talk about it. Let’s talk about it. And I know what n**gas is gonna say at home. ‘Why are you talking about this 30 years later?’ I don’t want to talk about this. My n**gas right here want to talk about this. To me, 50 is not a real artist. That’s not a real man. It’s not a real n**ga. You know what I’m saying? To want to pull down other n**gas to pull yourself up? That ain’t my style. If you a real n**ga, go make your records and shine.” he added.

Watch: Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine & Paul Rosenberg surprise 50 Cent at his birthday party

Fiddy might have rapped about partying ‘like it’s your birthday’, on his iconic single “In Da Club,” from Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ album but it appears 50 Cent favors a more low-key approach when it comes to his own born day.

West London locals were no doubt rather surprised to see the musician and actor, who was in London to perform at the Wireless Festival in Finsbury Park on Saturday, enjoying a belated birthday celebration at Somalian restaurant, The Village, on Fulham Palace Road, Hammersmith, on Sunday evening.

Friends, including music moguls Dr. Dre, Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg, Fredwreck and Jimmy Iovine who co-founded the Beats Electronics brand in California in 2006, put on a surprise belated birthday bash for the star, who actually turned 48 on July 6, 2023. Unfortunately, Eminem was missing.

Nick Cannon’s shout out came shortly after he threw shots at 50 Cent over his weight. Cannon made the comments about Fiddy while discussing Vivica Fox during one of the episodes of his “The Daily Cannon” podcast show. “You can like, fantasize about Fif from 15 years ago. That’s a different Fif than this fat ni**a that’s walking around now. He is fat! He look like he got a pack of hot dogs on the back of his neck. You looking at them pictures from ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’,’ now it’s get thick or die fryin’.”

New documentary reveals 50 Cent dissed Jay-Z & Nas on original version of “Back Down”

On “Back Down” in 2003, 50 Cent dissed Ja Rule and Murder Inc., but the song’s original version allegedly also targeted JAY-Z, Nas, R. Kelly and Cam’ron.

The 20th anniversary of Get Rich or Die Tryin’ coincides with the release of a new documentary by Diverse Mentality that dissects each song from 50’s debut album.

One of the project’s producers, Sha Money XL, recalls 50 Cent ranting about other rappers on unreleased version of “Back Down” and explains how his mind works when it comes to aiming for listeners.

“That record is his traditional patterns of ‘How to Rob,’ your ‘Life’s on the Line,’ ‘Ghetto Quran. Certain names is being mentioned, certain nerves being pinched. That’s his marketing tool – Fif has a marketing tool within music. He knows how to make records that’s gonna get you to talk, listen and f–k with him.” Sha Money XL said.

Then he continued: “This is one of the ones that I don’t know anyone else that did a record to it. Like, Dre had records that other people do… Rakim or D12. This one, nah. This one was fresh. Fresh. And we went to my crib, cut that s–t. Fif had no filter.”

“Get to L.A. and played it, Dre put the filter on him, like, ‘Hold up, bro. Hold up, bro. Nah, bro. You going too far, man. And we had to re-record that s–t. I still got the version where he’s spazzing, man.” he added.

The narrator goes on to say that the original version of “Back Down” took aim at Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, JAY-Z, R. Kelly, Nas, Cam’ron and others. At the end of the track, he also invited Dr. Dre to jump in and say “f–k you” to the competition.

Instead, Dre had 50 Cent redo the track as a filtered version only going at Ja Rule and Murder Inc.

“That s–t was blackdown, he was going black on that, blacking out, bro. Whylin’ on these muthaf–kas. The s–t he was saying, it was like, ‘Bro, you can’t say that, what you doing? Yo, come on, Nas is still the homie.’ But he wanted to take everybody, man. It was like, ‘You can’t go after the God, bro.’ Everybody’s getting it. Cam, everybody. Back the f–k down. And that s–t was well-received, man. That s–t was hard as f–k.”

50 Cent responds Nick Cannon’s body-shaming comments

Nick Cannon made body-shaming comments about 50 Cent while discussing Vivica Fox during the latest episode of his “The Daily Cannon” podcast show.

“You can like, fantasize about Fif from 15 years ago. That’s a different Fif than this fat ni**a that’s walking around now. He is fat! He look like he got a pack of hot dogs on the back of his neck. You looking at them pictures from ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’,’ now it’s get thick or die fryin’.” said Nick Cannon.

50 Cent does not appear to have taking kindly Canon’s insults as he took to Instagram on Monday to hit back without even mentioning Nick’s name: “If your marketing campaign is say something about 50. Your not going to make it, have a nice day.” Fifty wrote in the caption while sharing a black picture with “It’s never luck. It’s always God” written over it.

This is not the first time 50 Cent and Nick Cannon have exchanged words. During an interview with VLAD TV back in 2020, Cannon revealed that his song “Used To Look Up To You” was about 50 Cent rather than Eminem. Appearing on the Breakfast Club few days later 50 called Nick Cannon a “legendary corny” and stated that he would never respond to him.

50 Cent reveals how much he was paid per “Power” episode

In a recent interview with Vulture magazine, 50 Cent revealed that when shopping to find a home for the original “Power” TV series, a lot of the heavy-hitter companies such as HBO, Hulu, Paramount, and Showtime were not interested in the project.

“We went to all these organizations in the early stages. They probably had something else they felt was similar, or it wasn’t what they was looking for. I’m sure now they wish they didn’t pass on it.” Fiddy explained.

What’s more, when STARZ decided to take a chance on the show, the network saw proof it had made the right decision when “Power” became its biggest show, accomplishing record-breaking feats. Yet, despite the show’s success, 50 Cent said that things would get tricky when the time rolled around to renegotiate his contract.

For him, the amount that he was receiving per show did not properly reflect the time, effort, and energy put into the series. In fact, 50 Cent says the lowball payment would not have flown in the music industry.

“There’s no one that could come and tell me to take $17,000 to act and executive produce and make music. I gave them the theme song for ‘Power.’ I gave them the things that connected, hopefully, in a different way for it. You see what I’m saying? All those things for $17,000 per episode? I get paid more to go to the nightclub and wave.” – 50 Cent
