22 Sep
Summary
- Fat Joe states his 2004 verse on Ja Rule's 'New York' was not aimed at 50 Cent.

- 50 Cent later admitted he was wrong to involve Joe in his beef with Ja Rule.
Fat Joe has addressed longstanding assumptions surrounding his 2004 feature on Ja Rule's track "New York." Speaking on The Real Report, Joe firmly stated that his verse was not intended as a diss against 50 Cent. He highlighted his prior work with 50 Cent, including contributing to the hit single "Candy Shop," and explained he declined the beat because he had no issues with Fif at the time.
Joe emphasized his close friendship with Ja Rule, even crediting him with saving his life, which he says factored into his decision. However, this track, originally offered to Joe by Cool & Dre, allegedly ignited a seven-year feud with 50 Cent. Years later, 50 Cent conceded he was "buggin'" for involving Joe in his beef with Ja Rule, recognizing his own misinterpretations of Joe's actions.
