Ja Rule may end 50 Cent feud

Los Angeles - Ja Rule has pledged to do what he can to bury the hatchet with rival rapper 50 Cent.
The pair have repeatedly clashed on record and in person, with punches thrown on more than one occasion.
But, in an interview with Louis Farrakhan to plug his new album Blood in My Eye, Ja Rule agreed to seek peace.
He admitted the feud had started with a video shoot in New York and had escalated to fist fights in Atlanta and a New York studio.
"When I first heard the records, I said, "Come on, I'm bigger than that." But the public started to give me ridicule."
Farrakhan urged Ja Rule to settle the feud for the benefit of hip-hop and the youth who emulate rap stars.
"I never want to see anything happen to you, Ja, and I never want to see anything happen to 50. I want to see peace," he said.
The rapper agreed and said: "It's not about me and 50's personal beef. It's about the overall state of hip-hop and the children that are coming up watching and learning and pitting themselves against each other because one rapper says he doesn't like the other.
"I'd be crazy and disrespectful to say I wouldn't sit down at the table and try to help hip-hop." - Ananova.com
