50 Cent reignited his longtime beef with Ja Rule on Friday in an admittedly pretty creative way—by hoarding a bunch of his concert tickets being sold on Groupon. Featured Video Hide Apparently Fiddy came across a Groupon ad for tickets to an upcoming Ja Rule concert, and ridiculed his nemesis over the price of the tickets by taking a screenshot and posting on Instagram. Advertisement Hide “People think I’m mean so go see this,” he wrote, adding a thinking-face emoji. “$15 bucks wait what I do now 🤷🏿‍♂️ LOL.” Shortly after, he added an update: “I just bought 200 seats in the front so they can be empty.” He’s since removed the post, but because nothing is ever really gone from the internet, someone captured a screenshot so the moment could live on forever. “Savagery beyond belief,” one person accurately summed up in a comment on the post. The two rappers have been going at it for over a decade now, and it doesn’t appear that the feud will resolve itself anytime soon. Advertisement Hide Just last month, Ja Rule was forced to cancel a concert in Syracuse, NY, due to flight delays. “But I will be back to tear it down love y’all Syracuse,” he wrote on social media to his fans. “Only 10 tickets sold don’t nobody want to see that shit, you talking about wait we get a lot a people on the walk up,” Fiddy fired back at his foe. “Get the fuck outta here get the strap.” Ja Rule has yet to respond to this latest affront from Fiddy, but he told XXL Mag at the time of the canceled show, “Fuck y’all too y’all always trying to discredit me on some sucker shit.” “Y’all fuck wit 50 and them over there that’s cool,” he added. “But respect what I’ve done and brought to this game.” Okay, Ja, we respect what you’ve brought to the game. But in the meantime, why don’t you two just get a room, already. H/T XXL<doc-sep>Most feuds in the music world right now are pretty straightforward affairs. There may be diss tracks involved, potentially some attempted violence with a shoe, and while things may escalate they remain kinda predictable. So it's almost a relief to see that there's still some creativity out there. 50 Cent and Ja Rule have had a grudge for a long time now, but the edge doesn't seem to have blunted. As Complex reported, 50 Cent was mocking the low ticket prices for Ja Rule's November 9 show, posting a now-deleted screencap of a Groupon special to Instagram. But then he took things a step further: he apparently bought out the entire front rows of seats just to keep them empty. 50 Cent's Instagram habit has gotten him in trouble before. But, still, it remains one of the best vehicles for his pettiness, sharing doctored pics of what Ja Rule's show will look like. As far as burns go, this one is still pretty double-edged. Optics aside, 50 Cent did pay for those tickets after all.<doc-sep>Ja Rule is hitting back at 50 Cent for trolling him by buying 200 tickets to one of his concerts, only to leave the seats empty. The New York rappers are engaged in a bitter feud which has gone on for nearly 20 years and involved other hip-hop artists, including Eminem and Busta Rhymes. 50 Cent got onto Ja Rule's Instagram account to taunt him over the weekend, announcing he had bought 200 front row tickets to an upcoming show the 'It's Murda' hitmaker is holding in Texas next month. He claimed to have taken advantage of a Groupon offer that made the tickets US$15 each, meaning he spent US$3000 (NZ$4600) on the prank. The 'In Da Club' hitmaker even photoshopped himself onto a group of empty seats at an event and edited together footage depicting Ja Rule performing to an empty room of seats, too. "What a show, I mean just f**king great," 50 Cent captioned one of his trolling posts. "Do it again - my kid went to the restroom. LOL." Ja Rule has fired back on Instagram with two posts - one a mock-up of 50 Cent in drag, the other a photo of him with a person in drag and his G-Unit associate, Young Buck. The second features sex toys photoshopped onto it. 50 Cent is labelled an "old ho ass n**ga" in one of Ja Rule's posts. Beef between the pair has included several diss tracks and violent confrontations in real life, all seemingly starting with Ja Rule being robbed at gunpoint by a 50 Cent associate in 1999. Although in 2011 Ja Rule announced the feud had ended and in 2013 confessed that 50 Cent had won it, the recent swipes at each other prove it's definitely been resurrected. Newshub.<doc-sep>
Ja Rule has found Fiddy’s move hilarious Ja Rule was highly amused by 50 Cent’s latest move in their feud. The rapper, dubbed ‘king of Petty’ seemingly for good reason, bought out 200 tickets from Ja Rule’s upcoming gig so that he’ll be performing to a load of empty seats. Fans were pretty here for the move, loving the fact that Fiddy had sunk to such lows. Turns out, even Ja Rule found it utterly hilarious, revelling in the fact he’d got on the rapper’s nerves. ‘I get under @50cent skin….I love it!! !’ he wrote, with many an amused face emoji. 50 Cent had posted on social media how he’d attempted to get at his nemesis, revealing to fans he’d bought the tickets. ‘People think I’m mean so go see this. $15 bucks wait what I do now LOL,’ he wrote as an Instagram caption alongside a photo of the tickets being sold on Groupon, speaking of the gig on 9 November in Texas. Commenting under the post, he said: ‘I just bought 200 seats in the front so they can be empty. LOL.’ The pair reignited their feud in January, but it originally kicked off on the 00s, so this is one long-running feud. According to Rolling Stone, 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, says that Ja Rule, aka Jeffrey Atkins, incorrectly accused him of stealing his jewellery and brought it to the attention of Irv Gotti, the founder of Murder Inc. Records. Ja Rule, however, says the tension started between them during a video shoot in their hometown of Queens, NYC. Fiddy allegedly felt disrespected by the way Ja Rule greeted him on the shoot, which led to him releasing multiple diss records aimed at Ja Rule. Hopefully though the tweet isn’t the only response from Ja Rule, we’re waiting for his kick back at the 43-year-old.
