One of the longest ongoing beefs in the Hip-Hop industry is the one between 50 Cent and Ja Rule. the two have been going at each other?s throats for more than two entire decades. And it seems as if the former has brought the beef to the NBA. Only to help out this $1.7 Billion Western Conference franchise.
For those of you who do not remember, the Milwaukee Bucks had invited Ja Rule for a half-time performance. And it turned out to be an absolute disaster as the crowd wasn?t feeling Ja Rule?s 90s-themed performance.

The performance turned out to be an absolute disaster. And since the Bucks hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves that night, they decided to take a few shots at the rapper on social media as well.?
The Minnesota Timberwolves’ official Twitter account tweeted, ?We too were hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hood winked, lead astray!!!? And this certainly ended up striking a nerve with the New York City rapper.
The ?Put It On Me? star posted, ?You just jinx yourself talking to the GOD this way? Your CURSED NOW!!! You won?t win a championship for the next 30 years? AND KAT IS LEAVING!!! Apologize and I?ll lift the CURSE!!! Kiss of death.?
