50 Cent may be the well known rapper and “Power” franchise producer and co-creator but he’s also known as one of the music industry’s biggest trolls and his latest target, fellow rapper Ja Rule, just got reminded of that. I’ll explain.
You see, after Ja found out that he would no longer be able to go on the U.K. leg of his “The Sunrise Tour” due to his past criminal record—despite being told by the U.K. promoter that it wouldn’t be an issue, the “Holla Holla” rapper took to Twitter to express his frustration.
“I’m so devastated I can’t believe the UK won’t let me in. 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 said in one post. “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.”
He went on to essentially tell his fans and followers that the issue should be taken up with the promoter and not him as he was told this wouldn’t be an issue and the promoter began selling tickets anyhow.
“The promoter started selling tickets, GET YOUR REFUNDS,” he said. Further U.K. ticket sites also appear to show no dates for Ja or his tourmates Mya, Keri Hilson and Lloyd. However, he did promise to “do something special” for his U.K. fans to make up for the snafu.
While this news would be understandably disappointing, some fans decided to stoke the flames of the former beef between Ja and 50 by trying to point the finger at the “Many Men” rapper as to the reason why Ja is being barred from England.
When 50 got wind of the online chatter, he responded in the comment section on Instagram as captured by TMZ saying: “I got juice all over the place sucker!”
In a separate comment, perhaps finally getting tired of his trollish ways, Fif said: “Hahahahahaha I did not have nothing to do with this b!tch not getting in. LOL [sic]”
We all know 50 likes to take credit where credit is due and to put his name on things he’s proud of so if he says he didn’t do this—I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and believe him. But if it later comes out that he actually had something to do with it...let’s just say that years old beef might be finding new life again soon.
