If there’s any one rapper who mastered the art of beef, it’s 50 Cent. Songs like “How To Rob” helped propel him to infamy. He name-dropped every rapper possible while detailing exactly how he’d stick them up. His marketing strategy evolved over time. Still, the feuds he involved himself in became the furthest thing from a publicity stunt. His issues with Ja Rule and Murder Inc. stem from street politics. But, according to Tony Yayo, that wasn’t necessarily the most dangerous feud G-Unit was involved in.
Pistol Pete of Terror Squad took to the ‘Gram this week where he shared a joyous video of himself alongside Tony Yayo and “Whoopty” rapper CJ. Yayo had nothing but praise for Terror Squad, too. “Yo, the realest beef was with Terror Squad,” Tony Yayo said. “He was a real n***a, I gotta give it up. The realest beef was with Fat Joe and them. We outside.” Pete responded, “Tony Yayo, we fuck with you, though. We out here in the trenches, n***a. We out here, fuck all that.”

Things have undoubtedly died down between Fat Joe and 50 Cent, who have been good buddies in recent years. But, as Tony Yayo mentioned, that wasn’t always the case. Fif took issue with Terror Squad after Fat Joe worked alongside 50’s arch-nemesis, Ja Rule. At this point, the feud escalated and nearly turned violent backstage at the 2005 VMAs. Even though Fat Joe and 50 Cent continued to trade shots with one another on various records, the “In Da Club” rapper recently admitted that it was one of his biggest regrets.
“If anybody went next to Ja Rule, I’d jump on the person who featured with them, anybody who was faintly near them, ’cause I put him on life support and you wanna go resuscitate him…So that energy, later you look at it and you go, ‘I was buggin,’” he told Rolling Stone. “Fat Joe, his issues, I would see him a little uncomfortable with the success I was having, and I interpreted as, ‘He doesn’t like me,’ when he’s really the kind of guy you want to be friends with because he’s loyal to a default.” Check out Pistol Pete’s video above.
