50 Cent: "Everybody out there knows I don't like him and he doesn't like me.
I'm not stuck on him. I just made an entire album ['Beg for Mercy'] and didn't mention him. I gotta move on. If you pick up his album ['Blood in My Eye'], it's about 10 references to me on 10 of the songs. The success I'm having is eating at him. I would never speak on Ja Rule if the media didn't ask me about him. In the music business you're only as hot as the material you put out, and his material ain't hot. He sucks right now."

On the recent televised meeting between Ja Rule and Nation of Islam leader
Minister Louis Farrakhan who is reportedly keen to end hip hop feuds, Fiddy
commented: "I feel Ja's interview with Farrakhan was a promotional stunt. When I sat there and I was watching it, in the middle of it, the break comes
and here comes a commercial for his album. His album actually came out seven
hours later. That wasn't an attempt to bring any type of peace. You hear the
records that are being released at the same time on the street, I can't see you putting that out and you feeling the same way you say you felt with
Minister Farrakhan."

And if it's hip hop feuds you're after, well you're in luck. Source magazine's Ray Benzino furthered his feud with Eminem yesterday by releasing early recordings of Eminem's raps and focussing on various racist lines therein.

Among the raps that appear on the tape played by Benzino at a press conference this week are the lines: "All the girls I like to bone have big butts/ No they don't, 'cause I don't like that nigga shit/ I'm just here to make a bigger hit."

Another goes: "Blacks and whites, they sometimes mix/ But black girls only
want your money, 'cause they're dumb chicks / Never date a black girl, because blacks only want your money/ And that shit ain't funny."

Benzino commented: "Don't make this right now a double standard. We gotta
treat this the same way you treat Mike Tyson, like you treat Kobe Bryant, like you treat R. Kelly, like you treat O.J. Simpson."
