The G-Unit boss and We The Best mogul embrace and bury the hatchet after years of tension
50 Cent and DJ Khaled have officially put their long-standing feud to rest after they were seen embracing at a charity golf tournament hosted by MLB legend Reggie Jackson earlier this week. The event in Port St. Lucie, Florida, provided the perfect setting for the two music moguls to reconcile, with Khaled telling 50 Cent, “Nothing but love and respect.”
In a video recap of the event, which also saw Travis Scott in attendance, 50 Cent shared footage of his and Khaled’s warm embrace. 50, who sponsored the event through his Sire Spirits brand, seemed to be in high spirits as he and Khaled shared a moment of mutual respect before hitting the course.
The tension between the two dates back to at least 2005, when DJ Khaled refused to shake hands with G-Unit’s Tony Yayo due to their feud with Fat Joe, with whom Khaled was close. Yayo recalled the moment on Drink Champs in 2023, revealing that he was warned against visiting Khaled in Miami due to his ties with Joe. According to Yayo, Khaled initially pretended to shake his hand but then rejected him, yelling his signature tagline, “DJ Khaled,” and ordering him to “get the fuck outta here.”
DJ Khaled later confirmed the story during an appearance on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe, explaining that his loyalty to Fat Joe made it difficult for him to embrace Yayo at the time. He admitted that, while he might have handled things differently today, he would have still stayed true to his brother Joe.
Despite their differences, 50 Cent’s antics continued over the years, including a 2009 incident where he seemingly filmed himself threatening Khaled’s mother. However, the charity event marks a turning point for the two, with both moguls moving past their old issues to show mutual respect and camaraderie.
