One of Hip-Hop’s longest running fueds continues. Ja Rule found it hilarious that 50 Cent’s Las Vegas residency was panned by a critic.
As spotted on HipHopDX, the G-Unit Records recently kicked off his residency at PH Live in Planet Hollywood. As expected, 50 Cent performed his medley of hits, b-sides and guest appearances to a crowd of his fans. In attendance at one of the dates was blogger Jennifer Gay, who goes by the name Vegas Starfish on social media. She recapped her evening in a video that made it clear that she was unimpressed by the set up and even 50’s performance. “The sound was balanced poorly making it impossible to hear the performance. His hypemen were unrelenting and overbearing making it difficult to hear anything but their echos,” she wrote. “The only surprise was the lack of energy. This was the worst live performance, for any artist, I’ve ever attended,” she added.
Her review soon went viral on social media and eventually landed on Ja Rule’s radar. The “Always On Time” rapper reposted the clip and added, “Not the worst… #ICONN,” with several laughing emojis. Jeffrey wasn’t the only one who took shots at 50 Cent over the footage, as many people online noticed that Fif only waves his right arm up and down while he raps throughout his entire set.

As expected, 50 Cent has responded to the criticism and paused for a brief moment at a subsequent show to address the poor review. “What, you thought I was going to be out here rollerblading like Usher and sh*t? I seen some sh*t, Chris Brown was flying in Africa. I don’t have records that require me to fly in Africa,” he told the crowd. The blogger Vegas Starfish continues to stand by her original review.
