Rapper Ja Rule reignited his decades-long feud with 50 Cent in a series of homophobic tweets.

In an interview with Big Boy’s 92.3 radio show 50 Cent, 42, remarked that if he ran into Ja Rule he would “put him to bed.”

Ja Rule, 41, responded to 50 Cent’s comment with homophobic comments tweeted over multiple days.

“I think he’d rather have my di*k in his mouth,” Ja Rule posted in one tweet.

“I really don’t see why ppl like @50cent aka #Powerbottom. he hates on any black man or woman having success… he hates on Diddy on Jay on Empire cmon how you beefing with Taraji???” Ja Rule tweeted again the next day.

50 Cent and Ja Rule have been at odds with each other dating back to 1999. While it’s unclear exactly what sparked the feud 50 Cent was the first to publicly call out Ja Rule on his 1999 song “How to Rob.”

Ja Rule also has a history of making homophobic comments. In an interview with Complex in 2007 , the rapper blamed gay representation on TV for “f-king up America.”

“…lets talk about all these f–king shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can’t watch this sh-t. Dating shows that’s showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon. Let’s talk about s–t like that! If that’s not f–king up America, I don’t know what is,” Ja Rule said at the time.
