AceShowbiz - 50 Cent has responded to Ja Rule after his longtime frenemy challenged him to an Instagram Live song battle. However, instead of accepting the challenge, the rapper and actor flat out rejected Rule's challenge and even mocked him in the process.

Taking to his Instagram account, Fiddy shared a video of him sporting a mocking expression before driving away along with a caption that read, "Who want to battle and here's a moment of silence for the sick and suffering. LOL." The "Power" actor didn't explicitly say Rule's name, but it was clear that he was referring to his fellow rapper.

He made himself clear who he was talking about in another post. Fiddy returned to the social media site with an edited photo of Rule holding up a cardboard with the words, "I will battle 50 Cent for attention," written on it. In the caption of the post, the "In Da Club" rapper simply called him "stupid," adding a hashtag that read, "Fyre Festival." It was clearly a jab at the infamous festival Rule co-hosted.

Prior to this, Rule revealed in an Instagram Live that he was ready for a battle with Fiddy for the next installment of Swizz Beatz and Timbaland's Versuz series. "I want all the smoke but I'll behave," he promised to Swizz and Fat Joe during a livestreaming on April 11. Seemingly not being convinced, Swizz responded, "That sounds like a devilish behave."

Fiddy and Rule have been beefing for a long time. It first started in 1999 when Ja was robbed at gunpoint for his chain in Southside Jamaica, Queens. Fiddy then claimed that Ja saw him at a club with the culprit only weeks later. Ja admitted to being robbed but he denied seeing 50 with the culprit. Further making things worse was when J and Murder Inc. rapper Black Child were arrested when 50 was stabbed at Hit Factory recording studio in New York.

Since then, their relationship is anything but friendly.
