The Murder Inc. golden child initiated the call for battle against earlier this month.
After a little coaxing from Fat Joe and Beatz, he took to social media to let fans know he wanted that smoke, pitting his best songs and verses against those of the G-Unit head honcho on Instagram Live for thousands to judge.
But 50 pushed back, and Ja Rule realizes that the show may not be the best idea.
During an Instagram live conversation with music exec and radio host Kenny Burns, the “Put It On Me” rapper shared that although he’d like to enter the arena against 50, the two men may not keep it cordial.
“You can only deal with him one way, and that’s the problem. That’s why I said it can’t be done,’ remarks Ja Rule.
He continues discussing Fif, calling him petty and silly.
While it would be an awesome musical contest and super entertaining to watch, it would probably swiftly move beyond the beats and bops into disrespectful territory. The likelihood of the battle turning negative is high, especially if you consider the Power producer’s reaction to being called out by Rule in the first place.

The next superstars to participate in Verzuz have yet to be announced.
