Ja Rule reignited his decades-old feud with 50 Cent this week. He took to Instagram with a pointed critique. This was just as Sean Combs: The Reckoning continues to draw attention across the industry. The Netflix documentary credits 50 Cent as an executive producer and has already stirred debate. Ja Rule used the moment to resurface older coverage. This tied his longtime rival to past allegations regarding the “Many Men” rapper himself. His posts blended archived news stories with photos of 50 Cent alongside Diddy. This added fresh friction to an already contentious rollout.
In his caption, Ja Rule delivered a blunt, unvarnished statement. “Let me be clear, this ain’t about Diddy; he’s already incarcerated and serving time, as he should be,” he wrote. He pivoted quickly to 50 Cent, adding, “This is about this sucker Curtis acting like he’s the moral savior of hip hop. Showing up on television in those tight, unsightly suits and that enormous jug head, while you’re NO DIFFERENT… ALLEGEDLY. I can’t help but wonder when everything took a turn, especially since they look so pleased together!” This tension, as he talks of being Ja Rule’s rival, spread rapidly and renewed a rivalry that has defined much of their parallel careers.
His latest remarks build on recent criticism aimed at 50 Cent’s involvement in the film. The film is directed by Alexandria Stapleton. In the past few weeks, Ja Rule, a name tied to this feud, has dismissed 50 Cent as a “cancer to the culture.” He also hinted at producing a competing documentary that mirrors The Reckoning while challenging its framing. His comments reflect deeper frustrations over how hip hop stories are shaped. There is also the issue of who has the authority to tell them, especially figures like Ja Rule.
Dispute Over Film Fuels Feud
The documentary’s release also prompted a brief clash between Diddy’s team and Netflix. Representatives for the music mogul questioned aspects of the production. They cited alleged unauthorized footage and hinted that some participants may have been driven by financial incentives. Netflix rejected those claims. They said, “Curtis Jackson is an executive producer but does not exert creative control.” Netflix also noted, “No one was compensated for their participation in this series.” The dispute brought added attention to both the film and figures like Ja Rule who are connected to it.
Meanwhile, 50 Cent—known for using Instagram as a megaphone for his next moves—has suggested he may pursue additional documentary projects. He has yet to specify the subject matter. This leaves fans to speculate about whether he will revisit the Diddy saga or focus elsewhere. Still, the renewed exchange between him and Ja Rule reveals how old grievances, digital platforms, and shifting cultural narratives now intersect. In this space, where entertainment and personal history collide for Ja Rule, everything unfolds instantly and publicly.
