Fat Joe and 50 Cent have gone from foes to “family.” Joey Crack joined the Sherri show on Thursday (Jan. 8), where he reflected on ending his brutal feud with 50. Nowadays, Joe has a ton of love for the G-Unit mogul.
“I’ve never seen this guy not have beef, every day,” Joe said. “I think he’s got eight new beefs.” Fat Joe recalled sitting courtside with 50 during a New York Knicks playoff game in April, and 50 asked Joe to FaceTime his 35-year-old son, Joey Jr., who is nonverbal and was diagnosed with Down syndrome and autism.
“50 asked for him! We were at the game, courtside. 50’s like, ‘Yo, let me speak to Joey. Let me see Joey.’ And Joey, he’s nonverbal, he can’t walk, but Joey’s got his own phone. So, we hit him up,” Joe said. “50 Cent [was] like, ‘Yo, what’s up, Joey? What’s going on, man?’ That’s really cool.”
The Terror Squad rapper also promised to have 50 Cent as a guest on the Joe & Jada podcast in the near future.
“One million percent, 50 Cent is scheduled on the podcast. 50 Cent is family. We just had Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda, they family with us,” Fat Joe explained. “We gotta show the youth that you can come together — that was a nasty beef — but you can come together afterwards and actually be grown men and show each other love. I got love for 50.”
50 Cent and Joe became entrenched in a vicious feud in the mid-2000s as Fat Joe was close with 50’s adversary Ja Rule. The pair of New York rappers decided to ultimately squash the beef following the passing of their mutual friend Chris Lighty.
