Donât hold your breath for a Fat Joe and 50 Cent Verzuzbattle.
Shortly after confirming he would go head-to-head with Ja Rule this month, Fat Joe was bombarded with questions about his long-proposed Verzuz against 50. Joe Crack previously indicated he was open to the idea, saying the G-Unit boss would be his âidealâ opponent. So, why arenât there any plans for the two to step into the ring? Well, according to Fat Joe, Fif simply doesnât want to do it.
âWhy yâall keep asking me about 50 Cent? We gave him the option,â the Bronx legend said on Instagram Live. âHe did not want to go against me ⌠He not doing the Verzuz.â
Fat Joe, who was once in a highly publicized feud with 50, didnât provide details about the alleged âoptionâ presented to the Power star; however, he made it very clear that Fifâs decision wasnât based on fear.
âYou keep askinâ me some shit I canât help you with. And so, he donât wanna do it. Itâs not cause he scared or heâs not one of the greatest who ever lived, he just ainât fucking with that,â Fat Joe continued, before touching on Fifâs other projects. âI tell you what 50 Cent gonâ be a billionaire, a real billionaire. You gotta understand, 50 Cent got a bunch of TV shows. TV. Thatâs not rap music. Thatâs a different type of money.â
The Fat Joe and Ja faceoff will go down at 9 p.m. ET, Sept. 14 in New York City. The showdown can be livestreamed on the Verzuz Instagram page as well as the Triller and FiteTV apps. Tickets for the event will be available this Tuesday.
