50 Cent and DJ Khaled End Longstanding Feud at Charity Golf Event

In a surprising and heartwarming turn of events, 50 Cent and DJ Khaled have finally put their differences aside. The two hip-hop powerhouses were seen embracing at a charity golf tournament hosted by MLB legend Reggie Jackson earlier this week in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

The unexpected reconciliation came as both stars prepared to hit the golf course. In a video shared by 50 Cent, the We The Best mogul can be heard telling the G-Unit boss: “Nothing but love and respect.” The footage of their interaction, which included smiles and friendly gestures, was part of a recap video from the event, which 50’s Sire Spirits brand sponsored. Other celebrities in attendance included Travis Scott, adding to the star-studded occasion.

A Beef Years in the Making

The feud between 50 Cent and DJ Khaled stretches back to 2005. It reportedly began when Khaled refused to shake hands with Tony Yayo, a G-Unit member, during the height of G-Unit’s conflict with Fat Joe. Khaled’s close friendship with Fat Joe—whom he considers a brother—played a major role in his decision to distance himself from 50’s camp.

Tony Yayo, reflecting on the incident during a 2023 Drink Champs episode, explained how it unfolded:
“I had ‘[So] Seductive’ dropping… We beefing with [Fat Joe]. You fuck with Fat Joe, Khaled ain’t fucking with you. So we go up there [to Miami] … and Khaled just goes, ‘Get the fuck outta here.’”

Khaled later confirmed the story during an interview with Shannon Sharpe on the Club Shay Shay podcast, adding, “If I would have completely embraced [Tony Yayo], I probably wouldn’t have been able to sleep at night … That’s how much I care [about Fat Joe].” He acknowledged that his loyalty to Fat Joe played a significant role in how he handled the situation.

50 Cent’s Antics Over the Years

Despite being one of 50 Cent’s lesser-known beefs, the rivalry didn’t escape the G-Unit rapper’s penchant for trolling. In 2009, 50 upped the ante by filming a video that appeared to threaten DJ Khaled’s mother—an incident that cemented their animosity.

However, as years passed, both men achieved massive success in their respective careers. Khaled cemented himself as a global icon with chart-topping hits, while 50 Cent transitioned into a business mogul and TV producer. Their growth may have paved the way for reconciliation.

A Moment of Unity

At the charity golf tournament, Khaled’s warm words and their mutual embrace marked a new chapter in their relationship. The event, centered on philanthropy and community, served as the perfect backdrop for two titans of the music industry to finally bury the hatchet.

Fans of both artists have expressed excitement about the possibility of future collaborations, now that their feud has been put to rest. As Khaled often says, “We the best,” and this newfound camaraderie between him and 50 Cent could prove that greatness truly lies in unity.

For now, the hip-hop world celebrates this moment of peace, demonstrating that even longstanding rivalries can be overcome with love and respect.
