The long-standing feud between 50 Cent and Fat Joe seems to be a thing of the past, as the two rap veterans were seen enjoying each other’s company at a basketball game on Christmas day.
The former rivals, who have been collaborating since 2012, were among the celebrities who attended the New York Knicks vs. Milwaukee Bucks game at Madison Square Garden on Monday (December 25). They sat next to each other in the front row, chatting and laughing throughout the game.
The friendly display came as a surprise to some fans, who were wondering if their truce was still intact after Fat Joe was seen hanging out with Kenneth McGriff Jr., the son of the notorious drug lord who allegedly plotted to kill 50 Cent in 2000.
However, it seems that 50 Cent and Fat Joe have put their past behind them and are focused on their music and business ventures. 50 Cent recently released his new book, “Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter”, while Fat Joe launched his own podcast, “The Fat Joe Show”.
The two also appeared on stage together at the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards, where they performed a medley of their hits and paid tribute to the late DMX.
The Knicks game was not the only time they showed their camaraderie, as they also exchanged gifts and wished each other a Merry Christmas on social media.
“Happy holidays to my brother @fatjoe love you man,” 50 Cent wrote on Instagram, along with a photo of a Rolex watch that Fat Joe gave him.
“Thank you my brother @50cent for this amazing gift,” Fat Joe replied, posting a picture of a diamond-encrusted chain that 50 Cent gifted him.
The fans were happy to see the two rap icons getting along, and praised them for their maturity and growth.
“Respect to both of them for squashing their beef and becoming friends,” one comment read.
“This is what hip hop is about, unity and love,” another one said.
“50 Cent and Fat Joe are living legends, they deserve all the success and happiness,” a third one added.
