Taking to social media platform X, Ja Rule dropped what he described as “receipts” — screenshots of paperwork he claims prove 50 Cent was scared for his safety following the altercation and sought court protection.
“Go ahead and lie,” Ja wrote in the post. “Tell these good people the paperwork fake so I can send this next shot… WE GOT RECEIPTS boo boo…”
The documents referenced the much-discussed 2000 stabbing incident at the New York recording studio and reignited decades-old rumors that 50 Cent cooperated with law enforcement during the Murder Inc. federal investigation.
Legal Expert Dismisses Claims as Misleading
However, attorney Bradford Cohen — known for representing stars like Kodak Black — swiftly stepped in to dismantle Ja’s narrative. Posting to Instagram, Cohen addressed the claims head-on, explaining that the paperwork Ja Rule shared was being misinterpreted.
“The gun came from a stop and search of his vehicle. There was no ‘snitch’ involved in his case,” Cohen said, shooting down the notion that 50 was a federal informant.
He also broke down the supposed “proof” shared by Ja Rule:
“This document lists an informant.
- Police reports don’t name informants by name.
- We know it’s not Curtis [50 Cent] because they are listing people hurt, including:
a. Informant
b. Curtis
c. Marvin (whoever that is).”
Cohen continued, “His theory is debunked by the very paperwork. Dumb people would ignore the commas between the names. Don’t be a dummy.”
Ja Rule’s Fury Fueled by 50 Cent’s Irv Gotti Remarks
This latest flare-up in their long-running beef appears to be fueled by 50 Cent’s recent disrespectful comments about the late Irv Gotti, Ja Rule’s close friend and longtime Murder Inc. collaborator.
“I was hot, I was ready to go nuclear and sh*t,” Ja Rule admitted, revealing that he was holding back only after DJ Premier advised him to remain grounded. “Prem said it best […] He said, ‘Rule, you got to understand who we are and what we are. We are masters of self-defense.’”
Despite attempts by Ja to throw shots using old documents, it appears the legal and factual foundation behind his accusations remains shaky. With Bradford Cohen stepping in to provide clarity, it seems the latest “receipts” may not hold the weight Ja Rule was hoping for — but in hip-hop beef history, the saga between Ja and 50 is far from over.
