memoir 'Unruly: The Highs and Lows of Being a
Man' after a long-running feud with the star, real name
Curtis Jackson, and claimed he was falsely accused by
the 'Candy shop' singer after he was hospitalised with
nine gunshot wounds in 2000.
He writes: 'When they [the police] asked him who he
thought had shot him, it would make sense that 50 would
have said, 'Ja Rule, Irv Gotti and Murder Inc.'
50 later insisted he never cooperated with officers, even
when they tried to make a case against Ja Rule's
colleagues Irv 'Gotti' Lorenzo and Irv's brother Chris,
who were acquitted of laundering drug money through
their label, Murder Inc, in 2005.
Ja Rule, 38, claims the case couldn't have been made
without the rapper speaking to the police.
According to the New York Daily News newspaper's
Confidenti@l column, he wrote: 'He secretly led them
through his recordings for the answers they were
looking for.'
Ja Rule also claimed the pair – who buried the hatchet in
2011 – previously got into a fight in 2000 at a peace
summit in Atlanta, Georgia and 50 'was a crazed man on
a mission to destroy me.'
He wrote: '50 tried to swing on me, but I dipped, then I
hit him with the baby Louisville Slugger [a baseball bat].
'Bam! I dropped the bat. I pulled the shirt over his head.
I started catching him left, right, uppercut.'
50?s crew reportedly ran away and Ja Rule also claims he
led the charge in the Hit Factory recording studio attack
in Midtown later the same year when 50 was stabbed.
Ja Rule, real name Jeffrey Atkins, admits he armed
himself with a crutch taken from an injured crew member
and marched into the recording studio to take it out on
50.
He said: 'I hit him with the crutch. We proceeded to whip
his ass. I was putting in my work. 50 was crunched in
the corner. I slammed the big Tannoy speaker down on
him.'
His book 'Unruly: The Highs and Lows of Being a Man' is
out next Tuesday, June 1, 2014.
