    Ja Rule Wants To Produce A 50 Cent Documentary- Reigniting Their Legendary Feud

    Just when you thought the beef between Ja Rule and 50 Cent was over, a new level has been unlocked.

    This past Sunday, Ja Rule had some things to say about 50 Cent and his producing the four-part Netflix documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. The “Always on Time” rapper tweeted, “Let’s be real that n***a dgaf about the victims we ALL know why he did the doc.”

    He continued, “Herman’s a cancer to the culture if he cares so much, then donate the profits to charities for domestic violence.” Ja Rule continued his rant about 50 Cent on Monday, Dec. 8th, where he alluded to making his own documentary about 50.

    Rule shared screenshots of old articles displaying the “Many Men” rapper’s alleged involvement in assaulting his former partner and burning down the house belonging to the mother of his first child.

    “I think I’m gonna start doing docs there’s A LOT to unpack here ALLEGEDLY,” he tweeted. Ja Rule also tweeted that 50 Cent was a rat for producing the docuseries about Diddy.

    It’s previously been reported that Daphne Joy, the mother of 50’s youngest son, Sire Jackson, accused the rapper of sexual and physical violence against her. He reportedly trolled her after she was named as a sex worker in a lawsuit filed against Diddy. 50 went on to filed a $1 million defamation lawsuit.

    While promoting the docuseries, 50 Cent has said that he doesn’t have any negative feelings towards the disgraced media mogul. Sean Combs: The Reckoning is streaming now on Netflix.

    Breaking News: Gervonta Davis vs. Jake Paul Nov. 14 Fight Canceled

    The match that was four years in the making has been canceled.

    Most Valuable Promotions announced that the exhibition match scheduled for Nov. 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, between Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Jake Paul, will no longer happen.

    ESPN reports the decision comes days after Davis’ ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, hit him with a civil lawsuit. She accused him of battery, false imprisonment, aggravated battery, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

    Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of Most Valuable Promotions, stated, “Our team has worked closely with all parties to navigate this situation responsibly.”

    He continued, “While we will not be moving forward with this event, our plan still remains for Jake Paul to headline an event on Netflix in 2025. Details regarding a new date, location, Jake’s opponent, and additional bouts will be shared as soon as they are finalized.”

    The Paul/Davis match was to headline the night on Netflix. Fans were expecting to see this match because of the significant height and weight disparity between the two boxers. Davis is 135 pounds, while Paul stands at 200 pounds and is much taller than Davis.

    This lawsuit is the latest in a long list of legal troubles for Davis. It comes after the domestic violence case against him, filed by the mother of his two children, was dropped. He has other issues with the law, including charges of domestic violence, fleeing the scene of an accident, and more.

    He was later sentenced to house arrest and three years’ probation for a 2023 hit-and-run case in Baltimore.

    Most Valuable Promotions reportedly began to look for a replacement for Davis to keep the main event going. Francis Ngannou, former UFC heavyweight champion, said that he was contacted by Paul’s team but declined the offer. The promotion company also reached out to Andre Ward, Nate Diaz, and Ryan Garcia.

    The fans who purchased tickets will be refunded by Ticketmaster.
