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.

Tony Yayo remembers the beginning of 50’s career

50 Cent’s childhood friend and G-Unit co-founder Tony Yayo still remembers the Queens legend’s first raps. During a recent interview with DJ Vlad, Yayo claimed to still have 50’s first bars on his finger tips before reciting some for the host.

“Yeah, it was in my man’s… basement, Rest In Peace,” Yayo started. “It was ‘The cell went stale, quarter mil’ bail, fresh out the jail, s**t is really real. N***as is locked up, man, I pray they don’t tell. A hundred man indictment, my lawyer got to fight this. N***as know I ain’t never pressed for dough. N***as know I don’t serve nobody I don’t know.

“‘Son said he was from O.T., sold ‘leven at O.Z.,’” he continuedspitting. “‘His man brought him to me, but he ain’t really know B. Said it was time, dude was a cop, he was just trying to pop to put the new beams on the drop.’ That’s all I remember. But that rhyme to me was like, that’s when I was like, “Nah.” He had other s**t, but that was in my man’s basement… and I was just like ‘Yo, this n***a’s getting better by the minute.”

Tony Yayo credits 50 Cent for his survival tips back in the day

Tony Yayo appreciates 50 Cent for helping him “survive a lot of shit” during his early G-Unit days. Tony recently made the revelation during an interview with Only Way Out Podcast.

“There used to be 14 guns on the bus like Bobby Shmurda and them n-ggas, we used to be running around like that,” Yayo explained. “You gotta kinda be smart, you have a n-gga like Fif around that help us survive a lot of shit. ‘Cause he’ll be like, ‘Yo, if you gotta bring a gun, why the fuck you going? Just go party in my mansion I’m not even there. Just take over my mansion.”

He added: “He’ll tell you: ‘You know you got a girl in your room that’s a stranger. Don’t get these girls pregnant on the road, ’cause I done seen n-ggas do it.’”
