Tony Yayo has checked DJ Vlad over a question he asked relating to 50 Cent and Ja Rule’s years-long beef, telling the VladTV host to “shut the fuck up.”
The G-Unit soldier was speaking about E-40 on the heels of his recent Sacramento Kings ejection controversy. While calling the Bay Area rapper a legend, Yayo also noted that 50 was at the playoffs game, and listed off the numerous beverage distribution deals he has with numerous NBA Teams.
Vlad used the moment to pivot and ask Yayo about the recent back-and-forth between 50 Cent and Ja Rule over the latter being a “curse” to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“If Ja Rule came forward and publicly said listen I wanna apologize to 50 Cent and G-Unit X, Y and Z, I was young, you know what I mean?” Vlad began. “We were all wild–”
“Vlad, I’m just gonna take it back to the first shut the fuck up,” Yayo retorted. “Shut the fuck up with that shit Vlad.”
Check out Yayo and Vlad’s interaction below:
The beef between 50 Cent and Ja Rule continues to be a sore subject for G-Unit, with Yayo previously claiming their mid-2000s feud with Terror Squad feud was the “realest” beef they’ve ever been involved in.
Tension erupted in the mid-2000s after Fat Joe collaborated with Ja Rule, with numerous diss tracks being traded between both G-Unit and Terror Squad. Things then finally came to a head at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, where the crews exchanged disses onstage and nearly came to blows backstage.
“Yo, the realest beef was with Terror Squad,” Tony Yayo said in a previous Instagram video. “He was a real n-gga, I gotta give it up. The realest beef was with Fat Joe and them. We outside.”
However, in a recent interview with The Shade Room, Ja claimed that he actually had no issue with the Power mogul.
“If 50 Cent was to walk in here right now, what do you think would happen?” he asked the interviewer, who replied: “Well, nothing, obviously.”
“Exactly!” Ja shouted in response. “That’s what the [censored audio] I’m saying. We don’t have an issue. We don’t have a problem.”
The interviewer then brought up the previously suggested Verzuz between the pair and how Fif shut the idea down because he didn’t want to help make Ja Rule relevant again.
“Like, c’mon dog. I’m very relevant out here,” Ja responded. “I don’t have nothing to prove to anybody. I just, you know, I just want people to understand my side. My side of it is, I really don’t give a fuck.”
