===Ja Rule===
Before signing with [[Interscope Records]], 50 Cent had been in disputes with rapper [[Ja Rule]] and his label [[Murder Inc. Records]]. 50 Cent said that the feud began in 1999 after Ja Rule spotted him with a man who took his chain.<ref name=RS/> However, Ja Rule said the conflict stemmed from a video shoot in [[Queens]] because 50 Cent did not like Ja Rule "getting so much love" from the neighborhood.<ref>MTV News (November 3, 2003).

===The Game===
In early 2005, a feud between The Game and G-Unit began. Even before The Game's first album, ''[[The Documentary]]'', was released and their feud became public, there was tension between The Game and 50 Cent.<ref>March 2005 issue asks about The Game and 50 Cent's physical altercation. ''VIBE''. Retrieved July 26, 2007.</ref> Soon after ''The Documentary''{{'}}s release, 50 Cent felt that the rapper was disloyal for saying he did not want to participate in G-Unit's feud with other rappers, and even wanting to work with artists with whom G-Unit were feuding, such as [[Nas]] and [[Jadakiss]].

50 Cent also said that he was not getting his proper credit for the creation of the album. He also said that he wrote five of the songs, but The Game denied that. During that dispute, The Game confronted 50 Cent at the [[WQHT|Hot 97]] studio in [[New York City]] and members of The Game's entourage began shooting at 50 Cent and other members of the G-unit entourage, causing them to flee the building and causing Hot 97 radio security to shoot a member of The Game's entourage.<ref name=Beef>Rodriguez, Jayson (March 1, 2005).

===Fat Joe===
[[File:RiderPt2Crew2.jpg|thumb|200px|G-Unit on the set of the "[[Rider Pt. 2]]" video, a diss track aimed at Fat Joe]]
50 Cent pointed out that [[Fat Joe]] painted a target on himself for partnering up with Ja Rule on the song "[[New York (Ja Rule song)|New York]]". 50 Cent recorded the track "[[Piggy Bank (song)|Piggy Bank]]", in which he attacked Fat Joe. Fat Joe responded with a track entitled "My Fofo" and although he said that he would not respond in songs after this, he made one more track, "Victim" which 50 Cent is purportedly the subject of as well as a guest appearance on Rick Ross' Mafia Music remix. 50 Cent and Tony Yayo took more shots at him on "I Run NY".

Even though things died down, at the 2005 [[MTV Video Music Awards]], Fat Joe mentioned that all of the police presence in the venue was "courtesy of G-Unit" which related to his lyrical accusations that 50 Cent was a "snitch".<ref name="2005VMAS">{{YouTube|DTTg1ilOuxg|G-Unit and Fat Joe Controversy at 2005 VMAS}}, YouTube.

When asked about the 50 Cent and G-Unit situation in an interview Fat Joe said he will no longer be responding and that he has left it to his close friend Pistol Pete and his crew Kill All Rats (K.A.R) to handle. Pistol Pete appeared on The Game's "[[Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin]]" DVD and disrespected Tony Yayo, [[Chris Lighty]] (owner of Violator Records who had ties with 50 Cent<ref>[http://www.violator.com/artist_detail/?artist_id=50_cent 50 Cent affiliated with Violator Records]. Violator Records. Retrieved July 17, 2007.</ref>), and James Cruz (50 Cent's manager) and said he chased Tony Yayo near a jewelry store. Lloyd Banks, Spider Loc, and Young Buck have also been insulted by Fat Joe.

In 2007, the feud was continued in interviews and by affiliates from both parties.<ref>Johnson, Dick (June 15, 2007).

The feud between 50 Cent and Fat Joe ended in 2012 when 50 Cent approached Fat Joe's trailer at the [[BET Awards]] where he was confronted by Fat Joe's entourage he told them he wanted to make peace out of respect for Chris Lighty, however Fat Joe was unsure of his intentions until later that day when they shook hands while appearing on stage together amongst other past and present [[Violator (company)|Violator]] artists at the BET Awards segment that paid tribute to the label's founder Chris Lighty who died that year.

In 2014 Fat Joe gave a track titled ''Free'' to [[DJ Kay Slay]] to use as he was working on his final album and told him he can do whatever he wants with it. In light of the 2012 BET Awards Kay Slay decided to get 50 Cent to do a verse for it and put his on his mixtape ''The Rise Of A City''. Although Fat Joe was unaware Kay Slay was putting 50 Cent on his track he approved stating unity is good for hip-hop.
That same year, Tony Yayo shouted out Fat Joe, saying that there was "no beef".

===Cam'ron===
A feud between 50 Cent and [[Cam'ron]] began when 50 Cent was on [[WQHT|Hot 97]] giving an interview and [[Cam'ron]] called in.<ref name="50 Cent & Cam’ron Argument">{{YouTube|1DtTNKIBnjo|50 Cent on Angie Martinez Show}}, YouTube. Retrieved July 25, 2007.</ref> Cam’ron asked 50 Cent whether he had the power to stop records from being released on Koch Records and 50 Cent said that he does in some respects. As the conversation escalated into an argument, 50 Cent called Koch Records the "industry graveyard".<ref name="50 Cent & Cam’ron Argument"/> Cam'ron pointed out that [[Jim Jones (rapper)|Jim Jones]]' newest album sold just as much as [[Lloyd Banks]]' album did, despite the fact that Dipset is on an independent label while G-Unit is on a major label. 50 Cent took offense to this and said that Lloyd Banks has more money than [[Lil Wayne]] and [[Jim Jones (rapper)|Jim Jones]], which makes record sales irrelevant. Cam'ron became upset and rebutted 50 Cent's statements. Most notably, he brought up the poor record sales of the [[Mobb Deep]] album, ''[[Blood Money (Mobb Deep album)|Blood Money]]''. Eventually the debate became so heated that the radio station was forced to end the call.<ref name="50 Cent & Cam’ron Argument"/>
