In the realm of hip-hop rivalries, the ongoing spat between Ja Rule and 50 Cent just gained another chapter. As 50 Cent’s Las Vegas residency comes under fire, Ja Rule wastes no time adding fuel to the fire.
50 Cent’s Las Vegas show faced harsh criticism from influential Sin City commentator, Vegas Star Fish. Describing the performance as potentially ‘the worst show to ever hit Vegas,’ her verdict went viral, sparking interest and ridicule alike.
The critique wasn’t just an offhand remark. Vegas Star Fish took to Instagram, describing how the production and sound quality were subpar, with unimpressive stage movements from 50 Cent. Even the hypemen were deemed too dominant, drowning out the main act.
Recalling past performances in Memphis, TN, Star Fish noted a stark contrast in quality, lamenting that the Las Vegas show lacked magic. The setup seemed hastily put together, with references to outdated ’90s hip-hop imagery.
Promises from 50 Cent’s publicists of a memorable night full of energy fell flat. Star Fish pointed out the irony of a ‘surprise’ lacking energy, where crowd engagement was minimal, and an encore seemed to force itself 63 minutes into the performance.
Star Fish’s closing words were biting, questioning the rapper’s motivation if he wasn’t willing to put effort into his residency. She labeled it the worst live performance she had ever attended.
Ja Rule, seizing the opportunity, chimed in on the criticism by posting a mocking comment on social media. With a simple phrase, ‘Not the worst…’, accompanied by crying emojis, it was a jab at his long-time adversary.
This online banter comes just after 50 Cent bragged about buying out the first four rows at a Ja Rule concert to leave them empty. He claimed this was an easy move, as the tickets were cheap and available online.
Not one to back down, Ja Rule shot back by challenging the veracity of 50 Cent’s claims, deeming him a ‘liar’ and offering a reward for evidence of the alleged incident.
As their feud continues, Ja Rule’s comments add a playful yet pointed layer to 50 Cent’s recent performance woes. With each keeping an eye on the other’s missteps, the rivalry shows no signs of fading.
