Overview
- In a 105-minute Nov. 10 episode of Carmelo Anthony and Kazeem Famuyide’s 7PM in Brooklyn, Ja Rule said his clash with 50 Cent and other rap beefs hurt New York hip-hop by dividing the scene.
- He maintained he is the better rapper and that his records have aged better, while insisting fans can respect both artists and noting the two have never been friends or recorded together.
- Rejecting further hostility, he wished 50 Cent well and said, "Get your money, man," explaining he would not promote ongoing negativity.
- Asked what advice he would give Drake after the Kendrick Lamar battle, he replied that Drake needs no advice and is "chilling" given his success and stature.
- He accused “the powers that be” of starving hip-hop of label support and resisting Black wealth creation, a critique that helped the interview’s clips spread widely online.
