Ja Rule has hit back at 50 Cent after the G-Unit mogul mocked him over his UK tour being thrown into jeopardy.
On Tuesday (February 27), Ja claimed that he had been denied entry into the UK for his Sunrise Tour, which was due to start on Friday (March 1).
Unsurprisingly, 50 Cent seized the opportunity to taunt his old foe.
Alongside a screenshot of the news that Ja wouldn’t be crossing the Atlantic, 50 wrote on Instagram: “Hahahahahaha I did not have nothing to do with this bitch not getting in. LOL.”
In a separate post which featured a screenshot of Ja Rule’s explanation for why the tour is not going ahead, 50 seemed to take credit by writing: “LMAO. I got juice all over the place sucker!”
Ja then replied to 50’s since-deleted posts, firing back on X: “@50cent N-gga you pussy shut up…”
@50cent Nigga you pussy shut up…

The Murder Inc. rapper claimed that he had been denied a visa for the tour by the UK’s Home Office because of past criminal convictions. He also revealed he had spent $500,000 of his own money to fund the tour.
“I’m so devastated I can’t believe the UK won’t let me in,” he wrote on social media. “I’ve spent a half million dollars in production of my own money to put this tour together only to be denied entry DAYS before my shows this is not fair to me or my fans these venues are 85% sold and now I can’t come.”
He continued: “The UK is one of the few European countries that restricts entry to people with criminal records. In general, you will likely be denied entry if you have been convicted of a crime punishable by 23 months or more under British law or served more than 12 months in prison.”
Ja Rule was set to tour the UK in celebration of his debut album Venni Vetti Vecci turning 25, with shows scheduled in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Cardiff, Dublin and Glasgow, among other cities.
Set to join him on the road were Keri Hilson, Lloyd and Mya.
At the time of writing, tickets are not available to purchase for the run of shows.
Ja Rule Makes Surprising Revelation About His Relationship With 50 Cent
50 Cent and Ja Rule’s two-decade-plus beef has been a little more active of late after 50 mocked the “Always on Time” rapper for dressing up as Jesus for a music video.
“Look at this shit head, is he supposed to be Jesus [grinnig face emoji],” 50 joked in September. “WTF you can’t make this shit up. LOL so stupid!”
“We ain’t forget — enjoy these criminal charges and lawsuit, dickhead!” Ja clapped back while sharing a picture of 50 Cent hanging upside down during his performance at the 2022 Super Bowl.
