50 Cent Says ‘Pop’ Ja Rule Envies Him

Rolling Stone magazine spoke with 50 Cent about his long-running feud with Ja Rule and his label, Murder Inc. He says that Ja is the inspiration for ‘Wanksta.’ According to 50, the beef started when Ja was robbed by an acquaintance of 50’s from the neighborhood. “Put it like this, if you grew up where I grew up, you gonna know people who rob people,” 50 says. He shrugs. “He’s pop. What makes him envy me is, I can sell records the way he would like to sell records. People don’t wanna hear that story from him. He jumping around on TV too long in the rain with Mary J. Blige.”
