On January 1, Ja Rule took to social media to troll 50 Cent after scathing reviews of the latter’s Las Vegas residency, In Da Club, began circulating.

The Trolling Begins
Ja Rule posted the video on X (formerly Twitter), featuring blogger Jennifer Gay’s harsh review of 50 Cent’s Las Vegas show. In her critique, Gay lambasted the performance, stating, “The sound was balanced poorly, making it impossible to hear the performance. His hypemen were unrelenting and overbearing, making it difficult to hear anything but their echoes.”
Ja Rule captioned the post with laughing emojis, adding, “Not the worst…” His sarcastic jab quickly went viral, sparking a flurry of reactions from fans of both artists.
Social Media Erupts
Fans on social media wasted no time chiming in. One user wrote, “The fact that you, in a sober state of mind, chose to engage in trolling your arch-nemesis at the beginning of 2025 can only be interpreted as a sign of insanity. I eagerly anticipate a response from @50cent in the form of a ‘killshot.’”

Another user countered Ja Rule’s trolling by bringing up his infamous Fyre Festival disaster, to which Ja replied with laughing emojis, “See why you bringing up old sht?”* Despite the jokes, the responses highlight the deep-rooted rivalry that has defined their interactions for decades.
50 Cent’s Residency Under Fire
The controversy stems from reviews of 50 Cent’s six-date residency at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, which kicked off on December 27, 2024. Critics like Jennifer Gay were less than impressed, citing technical difficulties and an over-reliance on hypemen that overshadowed the main performance.
Despite the negative press, fans have defended 50 Cent, noting that he remains “booked, busy, and getting paid.” This sentiment was echoed by those who called out Ja Rule for trolling a fellow artist who is still drawing major crowds in a highly competitive market.

The Ticket Controversy
This isn’t the first time Ja Rule has taken shots at 50 Cent’s live shows. Just days before the New Year, Ja addressed a rumor that he had purchased large blocks of tickets to 50’s Las Vegas residency in an attempt to make the venue appear empty.
Calling the rumor false, Ja Rule posted on social media: “[cap emojis] You believe this dumb sht? Like I said before, I got 10K for ANYONE who can produce this footage, a photo, st, what city/venue did this said show take place? @50cent is a fat fing LIAR.”
50 Cent’s Silence
As of now, 50 Cent has not responded to either the negative reviews or Ja Rule’s trolling. Known for his sharp wit and willingness to engage in online feuds, many fans expect a fiery comeback from the Queens rapper. Whether it’s through a social media post or a jab in his next show, 50 Cent’s response could reignite the feud in spectacular fashion.
