===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].

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".
