50 Cent Called the ‘G.O.A.T’ after ‘SNL’ Skit Pokes Fun at His Feud with Ja Rule

Now “SNL” has gotten into the 50 Cent, Ja Rule feud.

Over the weekend, during the show’s popular news skit, cast member Colin Jost mentioned that Fif bought 200 tickets to Ja’s show to keep the front row empty.

Jost also poked fun at the Murder Inc. rapper and suggested that very few people would be interested in one of his concerts, which is pretty much the same thing 50 has been saying.

“Ironically, two hundred tickets to a Ja Rule concert costs exactly fifty cents,” said Jost.

The G-Unit boss then shared the post on his Instagram page and posed a question to his 21 million followers.

“What I do now?” he asked. “Get the strap.”

From there, a lot of people said they loved 50’s ticket buying prank, but he should’ve done more.

“You should’ve went and just booed that n—-,” one person wrote.

“You could have brought the whole arena [so] Ja Rule [would] be performing for himself,” another person suggested.

“I would’ve donated them to a senior citizen,” wrote someone else.

It seems the “SNL” diss also made it back to Ja, who responded with two posts. One of them showed footage of a recent concert where a lot of women were screaming. One of the ladies even threw a bra on stage.

“Haha, now this is what a Ja Rule show feels like,” wrote the “Put It On Me” rapper. “Hey ladies, thanks for the support.”

Then in his second response, Ja uploaded a photo of himself performing in San Antonio and said the crowd dissed 50.

“San Antonio was all the way live last night,” he wrote. “Thanks for the love. Oh, and the f— @50cent chant was a pleasant surprise.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
