In a recent interview, rapper Ja Rule addressed the ongoing feud with 50 Cent, particularly regarding the latter’s controversial celebration of music executive Irv Gotti’s death. The comments come in light of 50 Cent’s social media post where he appeared to smoke what he dubbed a “Gotti pack,” a term implying a mocking tribute to Gotti.

Ja Rule expressed his disdain for 50 Cent’s behavior, labeling it as “goofy” and unnecessary. He recounted a conversation with fellow rapper P, who advised him on the importance of self-defense and standing up for one’s honor without instigating conflict. “We’re here to protect our families, our homes, and our reputations,” Ja Rule stated, emphasizing a desire to avoid trouble while also being prepared to defend himself if necessary.

The rapper reflected on the long-standing rivalry between himself and 50 Cent, acknowledging the seriousness of their past but also distancing himself from the more violent aspects of their history. “The reality of it all has nothing to do with us,” he said, suggesting that while their feud has been highly publicized, the real issues are often exaggerated or misrepresented.

Ja Rule indicated that he has chosen to take a step back from the drama, focusing instead on leading a peaceful life. “Sometimes you just have to remove yourself from the circus,” he remarked, highlighting his preference for tranquility over conflict. He further criticized 50 Cent’s actions, quipping, “Shut up Jerome, finish your career,” a comment directed at the rapper’s penchant for stirring up controversy.

The interview showcased Ja Rule’s maturity and desire to rise above the feud, even as 50 Cent continues to provoke with provocative statements and behavior. As he moves forward, Ja Rule appears committed to protecting his own space and enjoying life away from the spotlight of their long-standing rivalry.
