Fif’ vs. Murda: Who Won the Infamous Brawl?
Tony Yayo has offered his take on the infamous physical altercation between 50 Cent and Ja Rule during the peak of their long-standing feud. While Ja has previously claimed he got the better of 50, Yayo sees the situation differently.
Speaking on Million Dollaz Worth of Game, the G-Unit rapper recalled: “50 beat Ja Rule up in Atlanta … Fif K.O.’d that n-gga … We at the same hotel. I was in the building. N-ggas tried to front on 50. Bow! 50 caught him stone cold. He a southpaw — that’s how 50 always knocked out n-ggas in the hood ‘cause he’s left-handed.”
Yayo further claimed that after the altercation, 50 flaunted Ja Rule’s chain in the “Wanksta” video, saying: “Look what I got.”
The fight allegedly occurred in 2000, but Ja Rule’s autobiography, Unruly, presents a different version of events. According to Ja, he successfully defended himself: “50 tried to swing on me, but I dipped, then I hit him with the baby Louisville Slugger. Bam! I dropped the bat. I pulled the shirt over his head. I started catching him left, right, uppercut.”
With conflicting accounts from both sides, the truth behind this hip-hop clash remains a topic of debate.
